Modulation signals are now visualized at both sources and targets with animated collars, while the source flow area gives an eye-catching overview of all active modulations, and floating slot panels enable collective balancing of all sources modulating the currently selected control. The new filter display speeds up workflow with the selection of multiple filters at once and presents a unified response curve with stereo separation, as well as a high-resolution spectrum display. With its smooth workflow, no-limits flexibility, and dazzlingly authentic analog sound, it's the first-call plugin for creative filtering.īeautiful New Interface and Improved WorkflowįabFilter has redesigned Volcano 3 from the ground up to make it more intuitive and immediate, while at the same time introducing a wealth of new features, and dramatically improving visualization of audio and modulation signals.

Volcano 3 sees the introduction of a completely reimagined interface, a raft of new vintage-style filter shapes, per-filter saturation control, full visualization of modulation sources and targets, and much more. For the engineer looking to add spectral movement that agrees with the music, Volcano3 more than fits the bill.Volcano 3 is the latest version of FabFilter's award-winning filter plug-in. FabFilter Volcano3įabFilter’s latest incarnation of their do-it-all filter plugin landed in November 2021, offering a number of expanded features to an already impressive inventory that significantly raises the bar when it comes to what a filter can really do. Our needs for sidechained dynamics processors are well-catered for, but for sources that need sidechain modulation of their filters, the choices become more limited. Virtually all DAWs have this functionality, either using its regular sends or dedicated sidechain sends with separate switching for pre or post fader operation on this last point, pre-fader operation will give the most controllable result that is independent of the sidechain source’s fader automation. What About Sidechaining?īeing able to feed any dynamic processor’s detector with an external signal gives rise to the familiar effect where a dance kick into a mix bus compressor pumps the entire mix, for example. Another approach could be to run through MIDI tempo-synced hardware and taking printbacks for posterity.

To re-introduce some dynamism, some kind of musically related processing can be done with real-time manual control of processing via a control surface, or using DAW tools to draw in envelopes that conform to the grid. One way around this could be using drier, unmodulated samples and loops. While any baked-in effect that changes over time brings a welcome new dimension to a mix, its modulation can never ultimately bear any relation to the tempo, or indeed the key of arrangement they’re part of. This last type of processing can be anything from static subtractive filtering on synth-type sounds, to dynamic effects that add movement and interest. With most DAWs offering tempo and key-aware loop-based content, producers and composers can often find themselves with great swathes of tracks ranging from entirely dry samples, to those which have been pre-treated with EQ, dynamics processing, reverb, delay or filtering. We look at one filter that brings life to static sounds in a unique way… Pre-Processed Loops
Using samples and loops opens up lots of creative possibilities to producers and beatmakers, but their lack of movement can rob an arrangement of its spark.
