Feature Request: Pro L2 - Auto Blanking Dither

Hey Fab Filter Team:

Any chance of adding an option to auto-blank the dither on silence? I often use your limiters on multiple tracks inside Cubase for a convenient mastering workflow (which I teach to others). I recently just noticed that the dither doesn't autoblank on silence, which adds tremendous noise to the signal if you have multiple tracks with 16-bit dither. This would be solved with an autoblanking feature. I'm sure others use the limiters on multiple sources and not just for mastering and many probably also mistakenly add 16 bit dither noise with the plugin.

Another option would be to also add a feature to set the dither settings to all instances of Pro L2. That would also be quite helpful and improve the workflow within the plugin itself.

Hope you take some of these suggestions. Great work on the quality products over the years. Cheers!

Hi Bobby,

That's an interesting request. Thanks for your feedback :-) We'll take it into consideration. Could you elaborate as to why you would use dither on multiple tracks? Or is it simply about skipping between different masters and not having to mute/solo each track?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Maarten
