## What is FabFilter Pro?

FabFilter Pro-R is a high-end algorithmic reverb plug-in with natural sound and intuitive controls. Its advanced algorithms have been carefully designed to blend well with the source and fit easily into a mix. Pro-R is bursting with innovations like the intuitive Space control that seamlessly switches between dozens of room models with automatic decay time adjustment, and the unique Decay Rate EQ that introduces free adjustment of the decay time over the frequency spectrum. Together with the built-in Post EQ and a large number of high-quality factory presets, FabFilter Pro-R delivers great sound quality and is very easy to use.

The Pro-R app filters the microphone input and plays it back in real-time. To use Pro-R as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. Pro-R will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app.

Key features:

- Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small ambiences and rooms to large concert halls and huge cathedrals
- Carefully developed to easily sit in the mix, without causing undesirable coloration, density or phase problems
- Gorgeous Retina interface with large interactive reverb display featuring Decay Rate EQ and Post EQ curves
- Very easy to set up, with user-friendly, non-technical controls
- Space control, which smartly and smoothly combines the room model and decay time of the reverb — choose from over a dozen carefully designed room models and seamlessly vary between them, without hearing clicks or unwanted artifacts
- Decay Rate control, changing the overall decay time from 50% to 200% of the current Space setting
- Intelligent Stereo Width control, ranging from pure mono to true stereo and beyond
- Distance control to adjust the proximity to the sound source in the selected space
- Character control that changes the sound from a clean, transparent decay, to a lively reverb with pronounced reflections and echoes — all the way to an over-modulated chorus-like effect
- Perfectly tuned Brightness knob, affecting not only overall brightness, but also the decay of high frequencies
- Predelay control via the bottom bar, ranging from 0 to 500 ms, with optional tempo sync
- Innovative six-band Decay Rate EQ, with Low/High Shelf, Bell and Notch filters. (Compared to the commonly used low- and high crossover system, the Decay Rate EQ opens a world of possibilities by giving you full control over the decay rate at different frequencies.)
- Six-band Post EQ to equalize the final reverb sound with Low/High Cut up to 96 dB/oct, Low/High Shelf and Bell filters. (Together with the Decay Rate EQ, this lets you design reverbs of any style or character.)
- Real-time spectrum analyzer that also visualizes the decay time at different frequencies
- Includes a carefully curated collection of factory presets
- Save, restore and organize your own presets
- Undo/redo and A/B comparison

### 5/5 — Can I request a refund for the previous version?

*2025-08-06, version 1.16*

Previously I purchased Pro R and today I purchased the pro R2 because of newly added features. Can I get a refund for the previous version

### 1/5 — Disappointed with fabfilter

*2023-11-28, version 1.12*

I have all their plugs. They are excellent, but I won’t support anymore a company that doesn’t care for its loyal customers. No upgrade discount to Pro-R2? Don’t care even if the discount is tiny. It’s a matter of principle. Also there seems to be a problem with the 2023 bundle….it costs way more to complete the bundle than buying the plugin by itself.

### 5/5 — Stella

*2022-05-27, version 1.12*

So so very musical. Don’t doubt just save your money and buy this. I do not have words to describe what a thing of beauty this really is.

### 5/5 — Fab

*2022-05-02, version 1.12*

Very nice sounds, useful presets, great controls and visual interface. I’m picky when it comes to verb but felt comfortable right away processing my life guitar signal and backing drums in this app.

### 5/5 — Great reverb!

*2021-12-06*

Really great!

### 4/5 — Further Integration & Program Release

*2021-04-13*

Please integrate your software to side chain with other iPad OS software i.e. FabFilter software where is can be used as intended through all DAW’s on PC, MAC OS, and more importantly iPad OS.
And bring in previous software such as Saturn, Simplon, Timeless 2, Twin2, Volcano 2, and more. 

 Thank You
And I appreciate your team and the hard work you do.

### 5/5 — High quality with ease of use

*2020-07-18, version 1.08*

This reverb provides a wonderful transparent sense of space to your instruments without any harshness, ringing or mushiness other reverbs might have.

### 5/5 — Excellent!!

*2020-01-07*

Update:  I cleared this up with the App Store.  Everything is good with this purchase!  Excellent AuV3.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2019-10-30, version 1.07*

... and brilliant.

### 5/5 — As good as I've ever heard

*2019-07-03*

Knocks it out of the park. The most beautiful yet unintrusive reverb plugin I've yet to hear. Especially for iOS...God it was an awful market for a long while there.
