Overview

The interface of FabFilter Pro-C is divided in several sections. The top section controls the dynamic behavior and consists of the level and time parameters. At the right you'll find the output section. Several displays in the left bottom corner show all dynamic information, while the right bottom corner contains the MIDI Learn controls.

• Dynamic parameters
  This section contains the parameters that control the dynamic behavior of the compressor. The input and threshold combined with the ratio will determine how much compression is being applied. The input can be panned when Expert mode is activated. See Dynamic Parameters.
• Time parameters
  The time parameters section contains the attack and release time controls. See Time parameters.
• Output section
  This is where the output mix and panning settings are controlled. The dry (unprocessed) signal and the output of the compressor have their own output volume knobs allowing parallel compression. Panning can be applied when Expert mode is activated. See Output section.
• Level displays
  This section contains the transfer function display, animated level display, and the peak level meters. These enable you to very precisely monitor input and output level and the applied gain reduction for every second of sound. See Displays.
• Expert parameters
  In Expert mode, this section will give you unsurpassed options to compress the audio signal. External input, stereo linked, unlinked, mid/side compression or anything in between is possible. See Expert mode.
• Undo and A/B switch
  The Undo, Redo, A/B and Copy buttons at the top of the plug-in interface enable you to undo your changes and switch between different states of the plug-in. See Undo and redo and A/B switch.
• Presets
  With the preset buttons, you can easily browse through the factory presets or save your own settings so you can re-use them in other songs. See Loading presets.
• MIDI learn
  MIDI Learn offers the possibility to easily associate any MIDI controller with any plug-in parameter. See MIDI Learn.
