Adding my praise...

Consistently blown away by FabFilter - I've slowly collected all of them. Extremely useful tools that sound great and are (for the most part) intuitive.

Seems to me that they put most other plug-in manufacturers to shame - website, videos, compatibility updates, authorizations, attractive (and respectful) pricing scheme, etc...

Brilliant stuff FF!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

The 2 extra bands on a c6 are floating, other wise looks identical, the FF MB is more transparent and much easier to use IMO

great, they just need to release a channel strip now

its a super powerful tool like all Fab plugs.

but... can you guys change the automation so the DAW records the center frequency and not the the two side frequency ranges... most confusing that...

Hello everyone,

I am going to buy FF Pro-MB and I'm looking for a friend discount. Anyone on here that thinks we can help each other out? I've never bought a FF plug before so I don't have an existing account.

Edit: Got one via PM. Now to go enjoy the new plug...

Excellent tool..

I've not always been a fan of such fiddly plug-ins but FabFilter seem to be able to strike that tricky balance between keeping things intuitive (in order for the user to remain creative) at the same time as covering all bases in terms of being able to adjust nigh on every parameter as finely as you might realistically desire.

Bombay mix.

Wow just played with this plug, truly amazing, i may finally have found a replacement for the X5 plug

Can somebody please help me with a discount code?



Just got PM'd

pm`d

If anyone needs the discount code, don't hesitate to pm me.

Are people still pretty excited on this one? I've never purchased a multi band compressor before and don't really want to have more than one. Is this it?

Yes, it definitely is THE multi band compressor. I have Waves C6, had Flux Alchemist, have Izotope Ozone 5 Advanced. All these are great, but Fabfilter Pro-MB is simply another league, and I mean it. One of the best plugin purchases in a long time.

Fabfilter Pro-MB is amazing...and so cool to use. the sound quality is really top notch

It's got me on board and I have very little interest in previous multiband comps - it can help out in a lot of varied situations - try the demo

Fab Filter it a truly fab company!!

What's amazing about it, in your opnion?

Agreed with everyone about this one being THE multiband to rule them all.

Amazing plugin with a ton of possibilities.

It's such a great tool. I'm using it extensively these days and it helps me to solve situations that were impossible for me to solve before (perhaps would be with use of brainworx or melda dynamic eq, but...).
It is in expander mode as often as in the compression mode, helping to de-cluter some poorly mixed areas. Often I'm keying the sidechain off the different portion of the spectrum. For example keeping snare bright smooth out the rest at 5k with ~200hz sidechain. Sometimes just moving the sidechain area slightly lower or higher can make the results more musical.

I still wish there was standard bell filter available for some more surgical apps. The minimum width with steepest crossovers is quite wide, esp. in the highest octave, though not just there.

Anyone selling Pro-MB? If yes, pm me.

I love this plug. It has replaced EQ many times with superior results.

If anyone is interested in obtaining a discount code for this wonderful plugin, just PM your email and I'll be happy to send you one!

Great, great plugin - I never was a fan of mulitiband while mixing before this one!

FabFilter has released a bug-fix update for both FabFilter Pro-MB and Pro-Q 2. The update fixes various bugs and small visual issues that surfaced since the December 2014 update that introduced Retina support and added numerous FabFilter Pro-MB features. FabFilter recommends all customers to update to these latest versions.

What's new in FabFilter Pro-MB 1.11 and FabFilter Pro-Q 2.03?

• Fixed a bug that caused knobs and sliders to respond incorrectly to subtle mouse movements while dragging on OS X and on High DPI displays on Windows
• Pro-MB: Renamed the existing interface size options to Medium and Extra Large, and added a new intermediate Large option that will fit comfortably on 1920x1080 monitors on OS X
• Pro-MB: Fixed a bug when deleting a muted band in Dynamic Phase mode: the mute effect would remain audible after deleting the band
• Pro-MB: Fixed display behavior when zoomed in horizontally: display curves and dragging would not work correctly for bands docked at the left or right edges of the frequency scale
• Pro-MB: Fixed sidechain filtering control behavior when zoomed in horizontally in the display
• Pro-MB: Fixed possibly incorrect gain change reporting for bands that use compression in combination with a Stereo Link setting below 100%
• Pro-Q 2: Fixed a bug in the VST 2 plugin (introduced in Pro-Q 2.02) that caused the Auto Gain setting to always be set to Off when loading sessions saved with Pro-Q 2.01
• Various small visual fixes and improvements

Finally grabbed a bunch of FF stuff during black friday sale. I had to give in. They are just so good to use and so versatile.
Does anyone know if this plugin will be continually developed? Obv Pro-Q gets a lot of love...Saturn was re done etc etc.

Don't worry their entire Bundle will be constantly updated to work. This is FF - they don't mess around

I have the Total Bundle.

I think this is a major part of the appeal. Whatever fancy tools come out - FF nailed it a long time ago and their tools have been tried and tested over and over and over by a massive user base. Their products are fine tuned and have unrivalled workflow optimisation.

Think i am gonna top up my collection between now and the end of the year.
Even Saturn FFS!! I have so many amazing and wonderful saturation tools. But honestly, i am better off just sticking saturn wherever i need saturation, because it basically does everything (really well too)

Also after filling my template with FF stuff, their optimisationis brilliant. They are much lighter than most of the competition.

FabFilter is absolutely top of the heap. Stunningly good design.

Just popped in to say PRO MB still getting tons of use over here - simply nothing better for pocketing difficult audio when controlling bass or boosting freqs in a stable yet lively manner - oh ya!

Ditto. Went back to it recently and it’s a real go to for me.

Fabfilter = gold.

Less hype and well code plugins and great sound and performance. They don't need say that are discovering America every month with a new product. Just a solid menu of professional tools, they are more worry about make good products and the consequence is a perfect reputation. FF is a serious company

It's amazing for bass control, like on the master, using a band cut plus expansion, you can simultaneously lower the bass instrument while increasing the kick - at the same time. It's pure magic!

Most of the pro industry probably just use Waves C6, and I hear good things about Leapwing's Dynone, but I've been perfectly happy with Pro-MB for so long now, I'm not really tempted to switch.

If they made a new version.. I don't know what they could add, honestly - maybe 8x oversampling. Maybe external sidechain trigger inputs per band (if that's even possible).
