(Comment on) Surround Channel Order

Fri, 08 May 2026 20:05:19 GMT

I've been struggling with the channel order for a while until I really tracked down how it works. The input and output of the plugin are: L/R/C/LFE/Lrs/Rrs/Lss/Rss/Ltf/Rtf/Ltr/Rtr. As the meter has a completely different order makes it very confusing. As I'm using Fiedler Audio Dolby Atmos plugins the side and rear channels are again in a different order and makes it very easy to mix up. I think that if the meter order reflected the in & out order things would be much more clear and maybe a...

Your levels seem fine for Saturn 2 subtle mastering. I usually stay near -6 dB peaks and trust ears over meters, then relax afterward with quick 2player.co sessions.

(Comment on) Pro-Q Band Solo lock?

Fri, 08 May 2026 05:47:57 GMT

I ended searching for this feature 'cause I wanted to try this trick with PRO-Q without having to install yet another plugin... So +1!!! And maybe have it as an option so you can enable it only as needed? youtu.be/HkMWpKa0Yhg?si=DE68nB2Mlb7Ggew4

(Comment on) Discount?

I've applied a bundle discount that reduced the price from approximately $2,100 to $1,069, and after applying the 50% student discount, the total is now $534.50. Can I still apply an additional loyalty discount on top of this? I would also like to know the specific discount percentages based on the number of plugins I own. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to your response.

(Topic) VST3 plug-in state not saved and restored in Vienna Ensemble Pro

Wed, 06 May 2026 14:38:56 GMT

Hi FabFilter folks, Using VSL Vienna Ensemble Pro 8 as host, the VST3 versions of FabFilter plug-ins fail to save and restore state when the host project is closed and reopened; they all revert back to default parameters. - Other VST3 audio effect plug-ins I have tested work without issue within Vienna Ensemble Pro. - The VST2 and AU versions of FabFilter plug-ins work without issue. I have noticed this issue for several years, but current system specs and versions I just re-tested...

(Topic) Pro-L3 idea: Spectral limiting and priority EQ section

Wed, 06 May 2026 11:20:25 GMT

One idea for potential FabFilter Pro-L3 is spectral limiting, which might use the same FFT approach as FabFilter Pro-Q4's spectral dynamics but with psychoacoustic model (derived from lossy codecs like MP3 and AAC) to shape the gain reduction per frequency (e.g. masked parts received less gain reduction or something else) Another idea for Pro-L3 is the priority EQ section, which could behave superficially similar to Pro-C3's sidechain EQ section, which depending whether spectral limiting...
