FabFilter Volcano 3 offers unparalleled versatility and an intuitive interface, making it a must-have for any music producer looking to add dynamic filtering effects to their tracks.

Nothing beats a vintage-sounding, gritty, and creamy cut-off filter. FabFilter Volcano has been widely recognized for this quality since its introduction in 2005. The latest iteration, Volcano 3, excels in providing top-notch creative filtering capabilities through a completely revamped and innovative interface that enhances the user experience.

The Volcano 3 application filters the microphone input in real-time. To utilize Volcano 3 as a plug-in, you will require an AUv3-compatible host application such as Auria, AUM, or Cubasis.
