Description

Pro-C 3 offers 14 different, program-dependent compression styles and various character modes to introduce smooth saturation, vintage color and analog drift. But there’s more! You also get full immersive / Dolby Atmos® functionality (up to 9.1.6), up to 32x oversampling, unique auto-threshold, intelligent auto-gain and auto-release, a variable knee and hold, smooth lookahead external side-chain and host tempo sync triggering, variable stereo linking and mid/side processing, all packed in a beautifully designed user interface.

Beautiful Interface And Optimized Workflow

The fully redesigned interface in FabFilter Pro-C 3 offers insightful metering with real-time displays that will greatly improve workflow. The large animated level/knee display visualizes exactly when, why and how compression is applied to incoming audio. Accurate level meters show the exact peak and loudness values, while the circular side-chain input meter turns finding the perfect threshold setting into a trivial task. And the large side-chain EQ controller makes it easier than ever to filter the trigger signal any way you like.

A Modular Channel Strip

Control all of your Pro-Q 4, Pro-C 3, Pro-DS and Pro-G instances in one convenient overview: the instance list in Pro-Q 4. You will discover this to be a huge time-saver, making it much easier to dial in initial settings for all plug-ins when starting your mix session.

FabFilter Pro-C 3

Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter bonus: perfectly tuned knobs, a modern preset browser to easily navigate the carefully designed factory presets, interactive MIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints, sample-accurate automation, advanced optimization and much more.
