First impression of FabFilter Pro-L 2

So, metering and one new algorithm is all they really mentioned? Man, I love Fab Filter's approach but I'm looking forward to a more in depth review when it's available (unless metering and a new algo is literally the only new major changes)?

* sigh *

That moment when you possibly regret jumping on an Ozone 8 Advanced license instead of buying all the Fab Filter modules ala cart... That said, I did score a legendary deal on Ozone 8 Advanced, so perhaps not.

Still, I absolutely love Fab Filter's full-screen displays/metering, and their overall look in general (people, THIS is how you do a plugin GUI/UX)! Not sure why iZotope is still stuck in small modules that can't go full-screen.

Assorted musings: I love Dan Worrall's guides/tutorials. The guide he did for Microntonic is one of my favorites. Really wish Propellerhead would hire him to do Reason stuff (though Frank has been "the voice of Reason" for so many years, it would almost be weird at this point).

I think learning to use a fabfilter bundle is akin to learning an entirley new daw an with all the multiple modes ,stereo unlinking ,mid-side and all the extra parameters that other mixing plugins don't have . You have to spend days ,weeks ,months just figuring out all the different options available! I'm finding it a steep learning tbf. I'm hoping that its gonna pay off at some stage!

Yep, the rabbit hole is deep. Saturn took awhile. The rest look relatively easy now. The modulation sections is almost identical on most of them.

They only LOOK simple at first glance. But, there's plenty going on under the hood.

One can easily say the same about learning Ozone Advanced, but yeah - I can only imagine.

D'oh!!!! Wait - let me get this straight... someone is actually pissed at a company other than Propellerhead because they bought software before it went on sale shortly after their purchase?!!!! OMFG - this is history being made, folks! jk

Dude, sorry you missed the sale price, though. That sucks.

My next FF plug was going to be Pro-G! Wondering if they are planing to update others now or all! C2, Q2 now L2, If I was to buy Pro G what sort of discount would there be if for argument sake in a few months they release a G2. How much is the update from Pro L to L2? Does anyone know?

[AzureEyes]

I actually got a free update to it. So i am happy. Very good update imo. You get a loudness meter built into it which is nice and very handy. The thing is its very CPU taxing on my macbook. To the point that i cant use it without bouncing every track to audio or just exporting the whole song and mastering in a new project.
