FabFilter releases Pro-G 1.01 update with Ducking style

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, October 7, 2011. FabFilter has updated the FabFilter Pro-G gate/expander plug-in to version 1.01, adding a much requested 'ducking' style and various bug fixes and small improvements. This is a free update for existing Pro-G users.

Here is a full list of the changes in FabFilter Pro-G 1.01:

- Added new 'Ducking' style, implementing inverted gate/expander behavior. A typical application of ducking is to automatically lower the level of a musical background track when a voice-over starts, and to bring the level up again when the voice-over stops (in movies and on radio broadcasts). Ducking can also be used to achieve the well-known and very popular 'pumping' effect, much used in modern dance music.

- Improved keyboard handling on Windows, fixing the "space key stealing" problem in Studio One and FL Studio.

- Improved mouse handling behavior in Pro Tools when Cmd+Ctrl / Ctrl+Win -clicking a control to show the automation timeline.

- Fixed crash in MOTU Digital Performer with the mono version of Pro-G.

The FabFilter Pro-G 1.01 update is available now at www.fabfilter.com/download.

Originally released in May 2011, FabFilter Pro-G is a top-quality gate/expander plug-in with flexible side chain routing options and a streamlined, well-designed user interface. Equipped with linear-phase oversampling, mid/side processing and precise metering, Pro-G is an indispensable addition to any mixing and mastering tool kit.

About FabFilter:

FabFilter Software Instruments was founded in 2002 by Frederik Slijkerman MSc and Floris Klinkert MSc.

Currently, the FabFilter product range consists of the Volcano 2, Timeless 2, Simplon and Micro effect plug-ins, the Twin 2 and One synthesizer plug-ins and the Pro-Q, Pro-C, Pro-G and Pro-L professional equalizer, compressor, gate/expander and limiter plug-ins. FabFilter will continue to update and expand their range of plug-ins in the future, providing the best possible sound quality and new, innovative user interfaces.
