Professional compression for everyone

FabFilter Pro-C 3 is a high-quality compressor plug-in for the most demanding engineers. Whether you need subtle mastering compression, an upfront lead vocal, that magic drum glue or deep EDM pumping: Pro-C 3 gets the job done with style.

Incredible sound and character

FabFilter Pro-C 3 is a high-quality compressor plug-in for the most demanding engineers. Whether you need subtle mastering compression, an upfront lead vocal, that magic drum glue or deep EDM pumping: Pro-C 3 gets the job done with style.

Everything you need

Pro-C 3 offers 14 different, program-dependent compression styles and various character modes to introduce smooth saturation, vintage color and analog drift. But there's more! You also get full immersive / Dolby Atmos® functionality (up to 9.1.6), up to 32x oversampling, unique auto-threshold, intelligent auto-gain and auto-release, a variable knee and hold, smooth lookahead external side-chain and host tempo sync triggering, variable stereo linking and mid/side processing, all packed in a beautifully designed user interface.

Beautiful interface and optimized workflow

The fully redesigned interface in FabFilter Pro-C 3 offers insightful metering with real-time displays that will greatly improve workflow. The large animated level/knee display visualizes exactly when, why and how compression is applied to incoming audio. Accurate level meters show the exact peak and loudness values, while the circular side-chain input meter turns finding the perfect threshold setting into a trivial task. And the large side-chain EQ controller makes it easier than ever to filter the trigger signal any way you like.

FabFilter goodies

Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly tuned knobs, a modern preset browser to easily navigate the carefully designed factory presets, interactive MIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints, sample-accurate automation, advanced optimization and much more.

A modular channel strip

Control all of your Pro-Q 4, Pro-C 3, Pro-DS and Pro-G instances in one convenient overview: the instance list in Pro-Q 4.

You will discover this to be a huge time-saver, making it much easier to dial in initial settings for all plug-ins when starting your mix session.

Drive your sound

The new character panel brings Pro-C 3 to life through carefully designed analog saturation, coloring and drift, including customizable drive and pre/post-compression routing settings.

Pro-C 3's style and character options let you combine a wide range of compressor flavors with different types of analog coloring. With Pro-C 3, you don't just get one compressor, you get dozens!

In-depth side chaining

Add up to 6 EQ bands with all shapes from Pro-Q 4, including all-pass and brickwall filters. Optionally, bands can only target the mid- or side signal.

You can also choose to let the compressor trigger on the external side chain signal, MIDI or to a host-tempo-synched pulse.

Last but not least, Pro-C 3 offers variable channel linking, including M/S processing.

  13. improved Up to 32x oversampling
  1. Program-dependent attack and release curves
  2. improved Smooth lookahead (optional, up to 20 ms), now with a customizable maximum between 0 and 20 ms, to finetune latency versus needed lookahead

  5. External side chain triggering
  6. Hold (up to 500 ms)

  21. Extensive help file with interactive help hints
