As for which ones to get, for bread-and-butter mixing I would rank them in the following order:
Pro C
Pro Q
Pro R
Pro L
Pro MB
Pro G
And for sound design:
Timeless
Saturn
Volcano
Micro
If I really had to choose only 3 they would be Pro C, Pro R and Timeless.
I finally bought Pro-R to complete my FabFilter collection. Thank you, Kranick, for the initial heads-up post.
I can confirm this.
I use Pro-MB on most things, either presets or tweaking presets.
Whether a 'professional' music producer would use this FF in the same way is not really an issue. All any filter I buy has to do is make my stuff sound better to me.

I've used that on vocals, and have been pleased with the result. It could do with more professionally made presets, though. A great strength of FF filters.
Must...not...be...tempted...
Not until they get released outside of Auria Pro anyway...
I would buy the lot if they did that. It pains me. I don't know if they, and PSP, are locked into some exclusivity deal with WaveMachine Labs, but I guess it is going to cost them if they are as AU3 takes off.
The regular priced was $40 (USD), which is a full $160 less than its Mac/PC-based counterpart. I'm not really complaining, just bummed that I missed the sale by four days after biding my time for several weeks specifically for this plug-in. Still, sales are generally aimed at on-the-fencers, of which I certainly am not one; I had every intention of owning this plug-in following its announcement, full price or not.
I own all the FF plug-ins for iOS except Volcano 2, Pro-DS, Pro-MB, and Micro. I can honestly say I use Pro-G, Pro-L, Pro-Q 2, and Pro-C 2 every single day. (And I'll be adding Pro-R to that list now that it's in my arsenal.)
I have no immediate need for any of the four plug-ins I don't already own, but with crazy-low iOS prices going even crazy-lower, I may just grab one and save it for a rainy day.

A few months ago I asked someone at FF about this, and was told they had no plans or interest in making their collection available for other IOS based apps. So it's Auria Pro, or nothing. Unless someone knows differently?
You know, I have spent SOOO much money building up my arsenal these past few months that this is no bad thing for me right now. I'm pretty sure that once AUv3 and BM3 takes off they will look more closely at the viability of standalone. We'll see.
I hope they do. When I raised the question the reply was very polite, but they just seemed to have no interest, primarily because it wasn't worth their while.
To me, it felt like the deal they did with AP was not only exclusive, but more of an experiment in marketing as opposed to genuine interest in IOS.
Timeless and saturn are incredible yes. i've barely gotten through all the presets. i usually stumble on one that i only have to adjust a bit to be perfect for what i'm looking for at the moment.
will be nabbing pro-r for sure, probably not the compressor though because i am so happy with micro warmer and old-timer and the regular auria compressors aren't too shabby either.
FWIW to my fellow dabblers, I looked at the sage advice here and added Pro-Q2 to my Pro-L and Pro-MB combo. Unsurprisingly, it adds more to the mix.
The track I tried it on was a future soul sound, which seemed to suit the 'Clean' preset. The track already sounded really good, having been worked upon and mastered using the two other FF plug-ins above.... but adding Pro-Q2 has expanded the sound, making it cleaner and crisper, brighter and more vibrant. And this is without me actually doing anything extra!
Now, can I afford Pro-R as well. Hmmmm. Tempting.
I bought Timeless And it s fantastic ! Are the two synth iap (one And Twins) in sales as Well?
I too just got Pro-L last week, so trying to not let it irritate me...I researched when sales had been in the past and didn't see anything for Summer months so went for it...of course I checked again when this sale was announced and Google pops up results from this time last year. Oh well...
Compared to the desktop price $40 was still a steal so I'm not bitching, just like sales as much as the next cat.
I now have all the FF plugins I had really wanted (Pro-Q2, C2, R, Timeless 2, Saturn and now Pro-L) but during the sales especially I'm still on the fence re: Pro-MB and Volcano. To me if you want a filter app Volcano is too close to Micro price wise and has so much more to offer...so Micro to me is a write off.
Pro-G & Pro-DS are a bit overkill to my needs; there's a nice gate/expander in the PSP channel strip in Auria and de-essing isn't a big issue for me...Q2 is so surgical if any sibilance is that bad it can deal with it.
The sale's on until Aug. 1 so I'm gonna think about it re: MB & Volcano. To those new to Auria I say believe the hype, these plugins are woth every cent and many are first call pro level pulgins, iOS or desktop.
I have both. I use Pro-MB on pretty much everything. Volcano, is an occasional addition.
@Zen210507 I know Multiband Compression can be a difficult tool to harness but it sounds like you're using it & getting results that hard knee compression & select EQ couldn't approximate.
You have a cool perspective as I would've guessed most would've got Pro-Q2 & the standard Pro-C2 compressor if they had bought only two FF's previously. Is MB mainly essential to you as Pro-L is in a mastering context or do you use it during tracking and/or mixing?
If you head over to the fabfilter forum, there's a thread where you can request this.
There's a link to it on this very forum!

My quick calculations indicate the cost for all of them to be $515.82. I wish I could justify them as a working professional but those days are long ago now. But still I may do it because as an engaging lifelong hobby there are much worse fates and much heavier costs; think boats, motorcycles, world travel, engaging trollops, new carpeting and adherence to Judaeo-Christian mythology.
I found the AU thread on FF Forum, if that is the one you meant? I've added my +

I was saving for BM3, due to early reviews I just bought Pro G. No regrets: better than I could expect and way better than Auria’s built-in gate.
I feel like it extends past electronic music...if you play guitar in particular, these are the top two effects of any sort to have on iOS. Granted I don't use Saturn for the crazy stuff but for beefing up a DI guitar tone.
The reason these only exist in Auria is because Auria just uses a VST wrapper for the plugins so they're easy and cheap to port from the desktop. I don't think this is the case for AU, which requires substantially more development effort and so is much less likely to be cost-effective. There's no exclusive deal between WML and FabFilter, it's just a simple question of economics.

Hmmmm. Interesting. So, no exclusive deal, and an easy process. Then why, I wonder, is it economically such a non-starter to come to arrangements with the makers of AUM, Cubasis, etc? Would it not be worth them adding the capability to use FF, via VST, as that is currently such a big advantage for Auria?
Or is the simple bit not so easy if it has to be added at a later date?
I'm entering into the realm of speculation here, but I assume that Rim had the foresight to make a simpe VST wrapper for Auria that made porting of desktop plugins to Auria easy, whereas the makers of other DAWs haven't done that, and relied on Apple to provide the APIs instead.
Thank you. I have long wondered what the reason is.
I’m a guitarist first, and Timeless is absolutely a staple in my processing arsenal. I own Saturn as well but haven’t spent much time with it. Perhaps I should make that this afternoon’s project.
Start with the Best of> The Tube preset and go from there if you haven't already.
