The installer will copy the FabFilter Pro-R plug-in into the common VST, VST 3, AU (macOS only)
and Pro Tools plug-in folders on your computer. On macOS, the global plug-in folders in
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins are used.
In most cases, your host will then recognize the plugin automatically. However, if the
instructions below do not work, see Manual
installation instead.
Pro Tools
Choose an empty insert slot on one of your audio tracks, instrument tracks or buses and select
FabFilter Pro-R from the pop-up menu in the Reverb section.
Studio One
Click the '+' button next to the Inserts tab of an audio track, instrument track or bus and
select 'FabFilter Pro-R' from the drop-down menu.
Logic Pro
Choose an empty insert slot on one of your audio tracks, instrument tracks or buses and select
FabFilter Pro-R from the pop-up menu. You will find FabFilter Pro-R in the Audio
Units > FabFilter section (named Pro-R).
Ableton Live
In Session view, select the track you would like to place FabFilter Pro-R on, for example by
clicking the track name. At the left top of Ableton Live's interface, click on the Plug-in
Device Browser icon (third icon from the top). From the plug-ins list, double-click
FabFilter/FabFilter Pro-R, or drag it onto the track.
Cubase
Choose an empty insert slot, for example in the Mixer, and select FabFilter Pro-R from the
menu that appears. To use the MIDI features in Pro-R, create a new MIDI track and set its
output to the Pro-R instance you have just created. (The VST 3 version of Pro-R can
be found in the Reverb section.)
To begin, just choose one of the excellent factory presets as a starting point. Then experiment
with the main reverb controls to hear the effect they have on the sound. Enjoy!
