Introduction to FabFilter Pro-G expander/gate

In this great tutorial by Dan Worrall, he introduces the FabFilter Pro-G gate/expander plug-in. He explains the basic controls and features and gives some great real-world examples of how to use it.

I swear the best part of fabfilter is the UI. its unrivaled

[@SAZIZMUSIC]

First time a Dan Worral video that is going above my head. My brain is too noob to process this XD. May be i will come back 3 4 more times with pen and paper to understand this video. Thanks anyways professor Dan. Love from India.

[@m.i.stapes]

This is the best video I've found on the internet explaining Gating and Expanding. Awesome!

[@xaosnox]

Dan makes these so packed with info, I find myself watching again and again and learn something new each time! Thanks, Dan and FabFilter, for making your tutorials almost as great as the plugins. Only gripe - wish they were longer and more in depth. Simply awesome stuff.

[@TheSeanpatrickobrien]

You love Dan 🥰

[@gastonjabaly]

So far the best plugin bundle ever made

[@detlefb.d.4416]

*with Pro-Q3 and L2

[@jules___]

@@detlefb.d.4416 yep that's what he meant by "plugin bundle"

[@pianoatthirty]

Mind blowing!!!!!!!!!!! Had no idea about the dual mono, mid-side, and midi functions!!!!!!

[@laddieervin]

Five years later. Still WOW!

[@ExhaustedPenguin]

Amazing visual representation

[@Itsallawesome]

Honestly love how visual this plugin is

[@PedroMau]

Fabfilter rules!!!!
Awesome plugins\m/

[@yadinmichaeli12]

FabFilter definitely my favor when it come to mix and effects art

[@mlrd6622]

This guy's voice is the best part of the video.

[@elblopex]

that midi gate just blew my mind. Why didn't I hear of it before? damn

[@Byronic19134]

I dunno because most gates do it.

[@jamesmorton151]

Killer video and second to none plugins 10/10 from me

[@sonnybrasco9735]

Man this dudes voice is amazing. I felt like I was watching a action movie on this tutorial 😂. Good work💪🏾

[@TweezerBleezer123]

😂😂😂😂

[@schipbreukeling3]

Haha good one. But when you here this voice you know you found a good plug in.

[@caseyschultheis]

just great plug-ins. killer video

[@newz-tube]

Thank you Dan!

[@vigaren]

incredible absolutely incredible

[@gomesdiogo]

Oh yes, Dan.

[@HotCarTrack]

Just take my money, this is excellent

[@user-kh8vv3bf4e]

通过实例讲解理解的非常快。

[@loot6]

Yeah Dan Worrall is the best.

[@PriyanshuBharadwa]

Thank you so muchhh!!! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@David_Logr]

I want this so much

[@gatty.]

I've found that 6:15 minutes in, this is extremely useful for creating noise for top ends of dnb drums.

[@TorontoPopulistConservative]

I can never seem to get DnB drums to sound right, maybe this will help

[@DaveHbsK]

Seems to be a great plugin, like all FF plugins. You say that algorithms includes an hysteresis, but I just do not see any hysteresis knob for a manual setting. This value is very useful when you tweak a gate. They should implement this.

[@gangsterdistrict1154]

Is it possible to expand upwards the signal that is below threshold? To make quiter parts louder without effecting the peaks. Same like Waves MV2
In this video upwards mode apparently expanding the peak for resuming the dynamics.
PS: My question is other than the ducking mode (i.e. compression) please

[@eduardogoncalves9311]

2:13 "...to 'djently' ride gain down"

[@ravithompson1082]

I bet Saturn is on the voice

[@GreatestSportsHighLights]

We love saturn!!! Just getting familiar with it!

[@vipuldive6091]

💐🙏🏻💐

[@user-hn3jw7pm6u]

How do you change the hysteresis on Pro-G?

[@jorgegoogler3743]

este programa sirve para suavizar pads?

[@jackwoodley95]

I've just purchased the Pro-G today and I noticed that the threshold goes all the way to -60dB in this video, whereas mine only allows me to go to -30dB and it's giving me a hard time. Is there any reason why this is?

[@TorontoPopulistConservative]

I'm sure you've worked it out by now but at 7:07 he switches to upward mode and the threshold min changes to -30. It appears to depend on the gate mode you are using.

[@jamesmalloch5801]

Could you please explain how you feed an external signal to the sidechain of FabFilter Pro-G? That part of the video went super fast and doesn't correspond to any of the inputs that I see in Ableton. Surely there must be a sidechain input selection somewhere on the Pro-G interface? Can't find it, though.

[@user-hn3jw7pm6u]

-I think that depends on the DAW you are using.

[@jamesmalloch5801]

Finally found out that it's not on the Pro-G interface itself. I use Ableton, so the sidechain selector drop down menu is on the little Pro-G mini-module interface in the toolbar of the individual track (same place where you drop other effects.)

[@lordberly]

Ayo, that song got Rammstein vibes

[@povertytaretv]

CAN YALL MAKE A CHANNEL STRIP PLEASE

[@witemax]

wait Pro G2 with max rage 90db....and chenge interface, 60db to 90 db

[@danymalsound]

Holy shit! So, watching this, I feel like Sonnox and Slate both simply copied this design from which to create and market their "drum" gates...wow

[@xpill9141]

What's an expander

[@Byronic19134]

At 7:07 it's what the upward mode is doing

[@andrew74x]

Where is Pro-L 2?

[@paulminter3511]

I wish if he stops talking when audio signal is playing - I wanna hear the result.

[@atila8623]

I watched it twice in order to understand what was he saying.

[@allanlimaverde6201]

sexy

[@MrLordofcoffee]

All due respect, on this vid (and all the fabfilter tutorial vids), why is it a constant line of speech trying to talk over the effects? Please do one at a time, I can't concentrate on what you're saying, and I also don't get a chance to hear the effect in action, constant speech and constant noise!

[@camdromeda2816]

the intro was stressful to watch
