FabFilter Pro-MB is an innovative multi-band dynamics processor, designed from the ground up for mastering. It helps to achieve optimal audio balance and clarity through the use of both static and dynamic processing, all within one single plug-in. FabFilter Pro-MB provides intuitive access to all the most important mastering functions, such as transient-based compression, three-band frequency-dependent compression, stereo widening, narrow filtering, bass enhancement, de-essing, and more. These tools are accessible through an intuitive and modern design, featuring advanced oscilloscope metering, a gain range of +/- 20dB, fades/gains for each band, and two different modes for displaying sidechain signals.
FabFilter Pro-MB offers a new approach to mastering, providing all the traditional tools while adding extra dynamic control capabilities. The multi-band dynamics processing of FabFilter Pro-MB dramatically extends the sound-shaping power of mastering engineers. By adjusting the crossovers, dynamics settings, and gain within each band, users can quickly and easily alter a mix's sonic character without changing the entire track. This also allows for more precise control of just the elements that need attention, such as bringing out the kick or snare in a drum bus without affecting the rest of the track.
Precision transient editing is the backbone of the multi-band processor, letting users shape the attack and release times of each band to taste. This feature opens up a new world of possibilities for dynamic processing, allowing for additional control and influence over individual instruments. Each band can be further tweaked with a ratio slider to increase or decrease the impact of the processor. Together, these features provide a powerful platform for shape, mix, and master the sound of an entire track.
Moreover, FabFilter Pro-MB features two sidechains, allowing users to apply different settings to each target frequency band. With sidechains, users can apply EQ-dependent compression, de-essing, and frequency-dependent loudness processing. This greatly expands the dynamic range and clarity of a mix, and also provides much finer control compared to a traditional compression/limiting approach. FabFilter Pro-MB also features an intuitive interface with professional-grade metering, helping users nail the perfect mix levels and understand mix elements at a glance.
FabFilter Pro-MB offers unparalleled sonic capabilities and changes the way we approach mastering. Featuring multi-band processing, intuitive sidechains, and advanced metering, it is the perfect tool for mastering engineers of any level. With FabFilter Pro-MB, users can easily achieve the highest level of sound clarity and accuracy required of a professional mix. All in all, FabFilter Pro-MB is a revolutionary software that has taken mastering to a whole new level.
