FabFilter is a Dutch developer of audio software plugins used in the production of music, broadcasting, game design and podcasting. The company won an Engineering Emmy for its plugin Pro-Q3 in 2019.[1]
History
editFrederik Slijkerman and Floris Klinkert founded FabFilter in 2002[2] with the aim of making synthesiser and audio effect plugins. Their first product was FabFilter One, a synthesiser, and it initially focused on creative plugins that create or manipulate sound such as synthesisers, filters and delays.[2]
In 2007 it began a Pro range of mixing and mastering plugins, starting with Pro-C, a compressor and has continued to add and update products. Pro-Q3, its equaliser plugin, was given an Engineering Emmy Award by The Television Academy in 2019, which described Pro-Q3 as "the preferred equalizer for mixing professionals around the world".[1]
Pro-Q3 appeared in Now and Then, a short film about The Beatles' last song[3], and a preset from Twin was reported to be the inspiration for Billie Eilish's song Hit Me Hard and Soft.[4]
Products
editFabFilter has released its products in VST, AU, AAX and VST3 formats for PC and Mac, and for iOS.[5]
It distinguishes between Pro and Creative plugins, with Pro placed at a higher price as "they typically take more time to develop", according to engineer Maarten de Boer.[6]
The range of software is listed below.[7]
