A good gate/expander is an indispensable tool in any mix or live situation. FabFilter Pro-G offers everything you could wish for: perfectly tuned algorithms, complete control over sidechaining and channel linking, excellent metering, and an excellent interface design.
Ultra-flexible sidechain routing
In addition to excellent sound, FabFilter Pro-G also provides highly flexible routing. You can choose between mono, stereo, or mid/side processing, and in expert mode, the external sidechain input is available with fully customizable linking and channel routing.
Clear and precise metering
FabFilter Pro-G combines smart input/output level meters with a real-time level display and a transfer curve. Everything was designed specifically to provide clear information about the current gate/expander settings and processing, allowing you to set them up easily.
FabFilter goodies
Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter benefits: perfectly tuned knobs, MIDI learn, smart parameter interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an excellent help file with interactive help suggestions, SSE optimization, and much more.
