FabFilter Pro-C 3 is a professional compressor plugin designed for engineers, producers, and musicians who require precise dynamic control with musical results. Built on FabFilter's established compression technology, Pro-C 3 delivers transparent performance alongside creative sound shaping options. Its redesigned interface provides clear visual feedback and an efficient workflow, allowing users to understand and control compression behavior in real time. From subtle leveling to aggressive dynamics processing, Pro-C 3 adapts easily to a wide range of production needs.
At its core, Pro-C 3 offers fourteen program dependent compression styles, each optimized for specific tasks such as vocals, drums, bus compression, mastering, or pumping effects. These styles respond musically to incoming material, helping compression feel natural rather than mechanical. Six new styles introduced in version 3 expand the creative range further, including upward compression and variable mu inspired behavior. Detailed metering and animated displays make it easy to see how gain reduction, attack, release, and knee settings affect your signal.
Pro-C 3 includes intelligent features that streamline workflow without sacrificing control. Auto threshold, auto gain, and auto release functions quickly adapt the compressor to the incoming signal, providing consistent results across different material. Lookahead processing allows the compressor to react before transients occur, while adjustable knee and hold controls help fine tune the compression curve. These tools make Pro-C 3 equally effective for transparent dynamics management and more pronounced compression effects.
The advanced sidechain section gives you full control over what triggers compression. With built in sidechain EQ, mid or side processing, and host tempo synchronization, Pro-C 3 excels at frequency dependent compression, rhythmic ducking, and complex routing tasks. Stereo linking options allow precise control over how channels interact, making the plugin suitable for stereo, surround, and immersive audio workflows.
Character and coloration options extend Pro-C 3 beyond traditional compression. Built in character modes introduce smooth saturation, subtle distortion, and analog style behavior that adds depth and personality to your sound. Combined with support for immersive formats up to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6 and oversampling up to 32x, FabFilter Pro-C 3 delivers professional quality compression for modern mixing and mastering environments.
