FabFilter Mastering Bundle

All FabFilter plug-ins have been updated with bug fixes and improvements, including immersive audio support in Pro-Q 3 and Pro-L 2. This update is free for existing customers and we recommend everyone to update to the latest plug-in versions. So what’s new?

Pro-Q 3, Pro-L 2:

• Extended support for immersive/3D audio channel layouts, now up to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6. Note: AAX only supports layouts up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2.

Pro-Q 3:

• In the surround version of the plug-in, it is now possible to let a curve affect all three front speakers (L/C/R).
• The interface will now clearly show that it’s in-band solo mode when loading a session that was accidentally saved with Band Solo enabled, or when toggling solo via a Pro Tools control surface.
• The interface now restores the previous zoom level when closing and reopening.
• The interface now remembers the previous manual threshold value for each band when you switch between auto and manual mode.
• Added Use Accessible Colors item to the Help menu, toggling to a brighter color for spectrum collisions.

All plug-ins:

• Improved rotational drag mode for knobs to avoid unexpected sudden changes.
• For newly installed plug-ins on Mac, factory presets will now be saved in the user’s Documents folder, in FabFilter/Presets.
• Fixed issues with text input for controls when running in Pro Tools, on macOS Big Sur and Monterey.
• Improved Full-Screen mode on Mac when using multiple monitors: the menu bar and the dock will now remain visible on other monitors. Fixed an issue with Timeless 3 and Volcano 3 where dialogs (e.g. Save As for presets) would not show up in Full-Screen mode. The camera area on a 16″ MacBook Pro will not overlap the full-screen area anymore.
• Fixed a bug that caused keyboard shortcuts (e.g. the space bar) not to work in Reaper on Windows after using the mouse wheel and not moving the mouse.
• The Windows installers now remember the VST2 folder location that was last used.
• Pro-L 2: Fixed a small issue with higher oversampling rates (8x and more) wherein some very specific cases, True Peak limiting could introduce a bit more distortion than needed.
• Timeless 3: Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when running at very high sample rates, which also caused VST3 validation in Digital Performer to fail.
• Volcano 3: Fixed a possible crash when modulating curves routed in parallel.
• Small bug fixes and improvements.
