Jay E and FabFilter

"I heard about FabFilter from my mix engineer Carl Nappa, and my vocal engineer Dat1Engineer, while working on the Murphy Lee vs Jay E album (Back to the Basics). He was using the FabFilter Pro-Q 2 on almost every track. I noticed all the other plug-ins available from FabFilter and thought they all looked and sounded amazing for sound design."
