Two other features, Unity Gain and Audition Limiting, allows further control for monitoring the effect of limiting. Unity Gain keeps settings enabled while reducing output level as limiting is performed. This helps in monitoring the changes to the sound. Audition Limiting, on the other hand, takes away the original signal from the output, thus enabling users to listen to the processed signal. Some reviewers noted Volcano 2’s incredible presets, particularly the vocal filters, which can transform flat sounds into something out of this world. The Pro-C’s optional 2x and 4x oversampling feature also allows for a high-quality signal. The Mix and Range faders change the overall level and range of the compression, respectively. Bx_digital V3 is very different from Pro-Q3, both in its interface and in the features it offers to its users. It has a wider and less targeted use. Pro-C however, unlike Pro-Q has some things that it can’t really do. If you’re looking for a particular Compressor sound, like the LA-2A or an 1176, you’ll need an emulation of those compressors. Where Pro-C shines is as a mixing utility that’s clean and transparent.

Incredibly lightweight, Micro only has one filter. But it can be easily tweaked using envelope follower controls in the interactive display. Moreover, aside from the high-pass and low-pass shape, the envelope follower can modulate the cut-off frequency for more interesting filtering shapes. This is a set of all FabFilter plugins. This bundle offers the best EQ, compressor, limiter, de-esser, gate/expander, multiband distortion, stereo delay, filter, and synthesizer plugins. The integrated machine learning can instantly give you great results after analyzing your audio. And, is great for getting down basic mastering settings, so you can adjust them further down the line. How important is each feature to you? Depending on your answer, you will be able to make a precise choice that will perfectly fit your needs. Among all these EQs, only 3 of them are often used in my music mixing process. Not because the others are not of good quality, but because they simply do not fit my needs.Waves is probably the most famous plugin manufacturer at the moment. The brand is appreciated for its very affordable plugins whose quality never disappoints its users.

As for reverb, I’m a big fan of the Soundtoys Little Plate, but generally, I go for the Valhalla VintageVerb for its versatility. I also love the Arturia Rev PLATE-140 and the UAD Pure Plate for its organic side.

The In-Depth Review

Linear Phase Mode: Traditional EQs don't just change the amplitude, they also change the phase. This mode aims to reduce those artefacts. It is the most demanding mode, and therefore offers 4 performance & quality options. They range from "Low", introducing only 70ms latency, to "Maximum" adding over 1,500ms latency. Yes.

If you’re a mixing engineer, or are looking for the best of the basics, FabFilters Total Bundle is the obvious choice. FabFilter plugins can be recommended to anyone who already doesn’t have them, because, chances are, they’re better than what you’re already using. For many years, Melda’s plugins have suffered from a kind of rejection by professionals. Why is that? Because of the particularly ugly interface of their plugins. However, these tools are of high quality and compete with the biggest ones. But let’s take a closer look at MDynamicEQ.
