Hi there guys. I have Auria but no plug ins - bit of a noob! Which plugs are considered essential? I'm not really wanting to spend 100's. Cheers in advance.

Pro-Q!
For the rest:different tastes,different needs but the Pro-Q is a must have.Even on Desktop it is my favorite EQ since a lot of years now,couldnt be happier to have it on iOS.
Agreed on pro-q because the channel strip eq is very different. I like the interface of pro-q, which follows the typical daw eq look. I use the channel strip eq sometimes, more for "broader" type eq-ing, although I think I mostly use pro-q now.
The classicverb pro is also essential for me for when I want an algorithmic reverb, because of the low pass and high pass filters on it.
Timeless is an amazing delay, and the stock delay, while perfectly fine, is limited in control. I also have the psp echo but once I bought timeless I don't use the echo anymore.
I also love the vintage warmer, that's an old favorite from the desktop world, and old timer, which is nice when you want to compress without thinking. The channel strip compressors are great though as well.
I love Saturn, but wouldn't call it essential. I bought that one on the last plugin sale.
Finally, I like channel comp a lot, because it adds a certain sound, but understanding how and when to use it is important.
But, the simple answer is that the stock plugins are awesome, with pro-q being the only "essential" plugin in my mind.
@PaulB, good point.
And I second what everyone said. Pro-Q should be your first purchase if you don't have any plugins, in my opinion. I also find myself relying on pro-C a lot, but that's probably just because I understand compression a lot better by seeing the wave. Pro-L is awesome too. Essential? Not really. You'll see what everyone means the first time you use pro-Q though.
lame question but anyone use Turnado vs Pro-MB....hehehe,,,,I would like to see what you all think. My friends love Turnado at this point...Im also sitting on the fence.
@Jaeger said:
I've not seen a mb compressor in Turnado? Not sure what to compare?
If you buy pro Mb without knowing how to use it or why you need it (if you do at all) you'll have a really easy way to ruin your tracks quickly. That's not directed at anyone, just a general comment.
De-essing would be one use, and as a dynamic eq (same thing really).
Ok got that..and. What about the final touch compressors? 4 of them in there I think..
Aside from the Pro Q and the included plugs, what you need is really very dependent on your own personal music style and taste in effects. If you are recording folk music then you likely won't have much use for insane distortions and massive reverbs, but if spacy tech house or drum and bass is your thing, you'll get plenty of mileage from such things and Volcano, Timeless etc. Some people don't have use for much if any effects, while other people produce music that is heavily dependent on a huge rack of effects. Think about what your music is and what it needs... Go from there.
Personally I'd say everyone needs a good simple filter (even if they don't know they do), so my suggestion for best general next stop after Pro Q would be FabFilter Micro.
Cheers guys. I'll get my wallet!
Doesn't pro-q already have the contents of micro? I could be wrong, but I thought micro was just a one band version?
@mrufino1 said:
Micro is a analog modeled low and high pass filter unit, with envelope follower to modulate the cut, and input/output control to add saturation. I love the sound of it, that creamy high res saturated self oscillation is yummy! Pro-q is a 24 band EQ. It's true that both units deal with removing and adding frequencies, but they sound nothing alike.
^what he said.
Oh cool, I thought it was a one band version. Good to know.
So Sale is about to finish.
I'd like to know the difference between Volcano2 and micro.
if i get volcano2, i don't have to buy micro?
@Laurie Volcano can do whatever Micro does really. If you select the "clean" preset in Volcano, to get a clean one band filter, and choose the "FabFilter" filter algorithm for that one band, it should basically sound the same as Micro.
@ChrisG Thanks for your suggestion. (^o^)
I have Pro Q, Micro, Saturn, and Volcano 2. I also have Final Touch. What other Fabfilter Auria plugins can I not live without? last day right?
Timeless is a pretty great delay...
@CalCutta said:
Agreed. I think at this price it would be foolish, perhaps even irresponsible?, not to pick it up.
It's actually a much deeper delay than appears at first blush -- definitely lots to explore!
@distraub said:
Not mixing related stuff (ProL etc)? Definitely Timeless2. It's your typical fully fledged delay with feedback, ping pong and whatnot yada yada etc. But as with all FabFilters it takes things waaay beyond that. The two delay channels can each be routed through 2 filter units, each filter unit has a 11 different filter algos/types, pan able. It can be serial or parallel. And add the same extensive modulation section you have in Saturn and Volcano with xLFOs, envelope generators etc into the mix, and you get a pretty versatile delay unit. Capable of some really amazing sounding delay type effects obviously, but with the mod section you can build quite a lot of things, like a beat slicer/rearranger for example (there's a tutorial on that one on FabFilters YouTube).
By the way, a tip for new owners of FabFilter plugs, most of you probably already know this but it can be easy to miss. Many of the plugins, like Saturn, Volcano, Timeless2 have two window modes, normal and wide. If you have long mod chains, or lots of bands, it might be a good idea to switch to wide mode, the tiny arrows "button" at the bottom right (below is timeless2 in wide mode).
Nice definitely will pick up timeless! Thank you.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't seen that
Timeless is worth the price of auria.
End of sale jitters, considering either proC or proMB. Questions for owners of both:
Are their compression features in proC that are not available in MB?
If you're using only one band, are they comparable CPU wise or does MB introduce a lot of overhead?
Want another style of compressor in Auria (I like the included one), quite like what I've youtubed of Pro C though I'm inclined to get MB because it has more uses but don't want to spend for both!
Looks like MB doesn't have side chain filters or a dry/wet control.
@syrupcore said:
MB have side chain. See upper right corner.
And mix control. Can't say which one to get tho, depends on what you need etc.
Thanks both. @lauria I see the MB has a sidechain but looks like the Pro C allows you to filter it before introducing it (great for lots of reasons but traditionally de-essing). I don't see any filter points on the MB.
@chrisG I think that's the problem. I don't 'need' either, just want another compressor to play with.
