I use FabFilter plugins every single day and can’t recommend them enough – get these essentials right now at 25% offAs far as mixing and mastering plugins go, FabFilter makes some of the best in the business. I was first introduced to FabFilter’s Pro-Q and Pro-C EQ and compressor plugins during my uni days nearly 10 years ago, and after subsequently discovering the rest of the brand’s catalogue, I’ve been using them ever since.
So when I discovered that our friends at Plugin Boutique are currently offering almost 25% off a range of FabFilter plugins, well, I felt obliged to let you know.

Up for grabs individually are the Pro-R 2 reverb (priced £112 down from £149), Timeless 3 delay (£82 down from £109), Pro-L 2 limiter (£112 down from £149), and Pro-C 2 compressor (£112 down from £149), while the FabFilter Essentials Bundle – complete with Pro-C 2, the brand’s latest EQ Pro-Q 4, and Pro-R 2 – is now £225 instead of £299.
We’re often told as producers we should be working primarily using our eyes and not our eyes. There’s certainly value to that guidance, but let’s be honest: having an accurate way of visually monitoring the changes you’re making to your mix does make things easier.
FabFilter’s range of plugins are beautifully designed with incredibly intuitive interfaces; Pro-Q 4, for example, even allows you to hover your mouse over the waveform in real-time to pick out and reduce problem frequencies. There’s even an EQ sketch feature, which allows you to literally draw an EQ curve and finetune it from there. Much is often made of searching for a vintage sound in modern music production, but the future’s here, so you may as well take advantage of it.
Like I say, Pro-C 2 is also included, which is a similarly intuitive compressor plugin with eight compression styles and all the comprehensive threshold, ratio, attack, release and knee controls you’d expect from a compressor. There’s also a real-time visual graph so you can see exactly how the compressor is impacting your mix.
Meanwhile, the Pro-R 2 reverb plugin offers a range of next-gen features, including multichannel compatibility, two new reverb algorithms, IR import and replication, ducking and gating functions, analogue-style saturation and so much more.
