QVox vs FabFilter Pro

QVox is a creative audio effect that transforms vocals, guitars, drums, and synths into four independent voices. Create beautiful harmonies, widen instruments and design groovy rhythmic sequences with diatonic pitch shifting and delay. You can choose the key, scale, and each voice’s pitch and delay interval, with the ability to alter any parameters in real-time using the Ribbon controller. Features: - Four independent voices (labeled as A, B, C, D) with diatonic pitch shifting and delay. - Select Key and Scale to create harmonies that coincide with your compositions or use the Learn button to set the key by the incoming note you play. - Group the four delays so that they are evenly spaced or spread out. - Sync the delays to tempo, or a value of your own choosing. - The Ribbon controller allows for dynamic modification of several knobs at once to easily morph between settings. - Factory presets help get you started or create your own User presets. - Mixlock helps when auditioning different presets by enabling a global Mix value that will remain constant for every subsequently loaded preset. - Available as an Audio Units AUv3 plug-in and Standalone App.

FabFilter Pro-R 2 is a high-end reverb plug-in with natural, vintage and plate algorithms, combined with 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 2 delivers great sound quality and is very easy to use. The Pro-R 2 app filters the microphone input and plays it back in real-time. To use Pro-R 2 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis.
