Watch as Paul Drew takes you through the new updated compressor plug-in from FabFilter, the Pro-C 2. Shown in Studio One, Pro-C 2 is equally at home in all the main DAWs including Pro Tools Logic Pro and Ableton Live.

More On The FabFilter Pro-C 2

Pro-C 2 offers eight different, program-dependent compression styles with beautiful sound and character. But there's more! Apart from the classic compressor controls, you also get smooth lookahead, up to 4x oversampling, intelligent auto-gain and auto-release, a variable knee, hold, range, external side-chain triggering, variable stereo linking and mid/side processing, all packed in a beautiful Retina user interface.

The fully redesigned interface in FabFilter Pro-C 2 offers metering with real-time displays. The large animated level/knee display visualises when, why and how compression is applied to incoming audio. 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.

Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly tuned knobs, 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 optimisation and much more!
