The art of mastering has a rich and culturally significant history, and now the best engineers from around the world are sought out to give every single one of today's best-selling singles a professional, polished sound. Unfortunately, the biggest barrier to the world of mastering for the everyday audio enthusiast/producer has always been the enormous financial investment required to secure industry-standard hardware. This, along with complex interfaces that often make spaceship cockpits look like children's toys, leaves many passionate aspiring mastering engineers feeling unable to make the most of their creative ideas.

FabFilter has taken on breaking this industry barrier, making professional-grade, intuitively designed software available to the masses with its range of mastering plugins, each used by some of the biggest names in the world of audio engineering. With easy-to-use interfaces and universally acclaimed processing power, Mastering Bundle contains all of FabFilter's essential mastering plugins: its professional limiter, equalizer, multiband dynamics, and compressor. Bring your next project to life with this comprehensive mastering package!

Redefined Multiband Dynamics

Multiband compression and expansion are powerful tools, but notoriously difficult to set up and control. Enter FabFilter Pro-MB: make multiband dynamics processing intuitive yet powerful at the same time.

Instead of conventionally splitting the entire spectrum with crossovers, Pro-MB allows you to directly create a new band in the frequency range you want to work in. Think in bands, not crossovers.

The interactive multiband display clearly shows that the rest of the spectrum remains intact. And if you wish, you can easily link the bands to recreate a traditional crossover system.

Features

• Up to six processing bands, freely placed anywhere in the spectrum
• Bands can be easily linked to form a traditional crossover system
• Handles any form of dynamics processing, from highly transparent compression, limiting, and expansion to pumping upward compression and punchy gating
• Unique dynamic phase processing mode with zero latency, no static phase shifts, and no pre-ringing artifacts
• Excellent linear phase processing mode, which eliminates audible artifacts when rapidly changing crossover frequencies
• Minimum phase processing mode
• Linear phase oversampling up to four times
• Fully customizable per band: threshold, range, attack, release, output gain, ratio, variable knee, lookahead (up to 20 ms), variable stereo linking, mid-only or side-only processing, external sidechain input, frequency range triggering
• The slope of each crossover can be freely adjusted between 6 dB/oct and 48 dB/oct
• Smart attack and release curves, highly dependent on the program and frequency
• Global dry/wet mix from 0% to 200% to easily scale the overall effect of the plugin
• Beautiful Retina interface with a unique interactive multiband display, designed for an optimal workflow
