FabFilter just leveled up the compression game entirely. Their flagship dynamics processor, Pro-C 3, lands with a massive overhaul. The update packs six fresh compression algorithms, bringing the total to fourteen distinct styles. These range from ultra-clean glue compression to vintage optical and variable-mu emulations, even including upward compression for creative sound design.
A new Character section introduces analog-style saturation and drift, with separate drive control. The side-chain EQ gets a complete redesign, now featuring six bands with filter shapes borrowed from the legendary Pro-Q. The plugin now natively handles immersive audio formats for surround sound production, supporting complex channel configurations.
Other pro features include host tempo sync for the compression trigger, allowing rhythmic pumping effects. Visual integration links the plugin with other FabFilter products like Pro-Q 4 for a unified workflow. High-quality oversampling is available to eliminate digital artifacts. The price is set at one hundred sixty-nine euros, with upgrade options for current owners.
