To bring up the frequency plot of another track in your project, if that track has a Pro-Q 3 on it, you can simply select it from your current instance, saving you the complexity and time of sidechaining routing in your DAW. Being able to access the information from one plugin instance in another plugin instance on another track is a helpful and sensible way to work – especially in the world of mixing. It’s nice to see FabFilter respond to one of today’s growing plugin trends. This lets you control the Q of all, or make cuts and boosts less or more severe for all together – click to enlarge. You can click-drag to select multiple bands at once. Could not stepping on Pro-MB’s toes have been a reason for this feature only now arriving in Pro-Q 3? And what direction might Pro-MB be moving in to have made it time to introduce dynamics in Pro-Q 3? Time will tell. To do this, you have to create a band by boosting or cutting, dial in the dynamics, and then return the Gain back to 0. The introduction of dynamic EQ brings out some comparisons to FabFilter’s other dynamics plugin, Pro-MB. One drawback is the inability to instantiate a dynamic-only band with no gain changes. The idea is that we put our trust in FabFilter’s algorithms, and for me, this trust has been rewarded every time I’ve used Pro-Q’s new dynamic features – I’ve not found myself wanting to tweak the timing of those dynamic bands so far, and I’ve hardly felt the need to use the optional Threshold control. Notably, each band’s dynamic nature is set using its collar only, and although there’s optional control over the Threshold, there’s no Attack and Release customisation. Dynamic EQ lets Pro-Q 3 compare more easily to other sophisticated EQs such as Tokyo Dawn’s Nova GE and iZotope’s Neutron package. You can tweak the collar’s setting from the visualiser pane too, via up/down arrows that appear above or below the band’s center-frequency node. Each band’s Gain control now has a collar that can instantly turn that band into a compressor or expander. So what could possibly be missing in Pro-Qs 1 and 2 to warrant version 3?Īctually, the headline addition in Pro-Q 3 is a bit more obvious than I’m letting on here: dynamic EQ bands.
#Fabfilter pro q 3 eq software
Throughout its first two incarnations, Pro-Q has consistently been rated as the world’s best software EQ, and for very good reason: it’s a state-of-the-art equalizer carrying all the tools you need to take command over the frequency spectrum, wrapped in an immediately easy-to-use interface that lets you get right down to business.
