In fact, any bell or shelf band can be switched to dynamic mode.ĭynamic EQ bands are awesome when you want to combine the characteristics of a compressor, with standard linear phase equalization. Probably one of the most important features of FabFilter Pro Q 3, the Dynamic EQ mode. This is probably the only downside to Pro Q 3, It is very much a precise and transparent equalizer. There are however times when you might want to have a more colorful equalizer plugin, to add sweetness to your top end etc.

It does everything you want it to do, without leaving a trace of it being there. Razor sharp frequency cuts, and the almost surgical level of precision you can set your Pro Q3 to have, makes it a benchmark for professional EQ's everywhere. Other than what you tell it to do, FabFilter's Pro Q 3 does not affect your sound in any other way. Upgrade prices are available when you log in into your FabFilter account.Probably the first calling card of this incredible Digital EQ, is it's precision and transparency. The standalone price is USD 179/EUR 149 / GBP 134. Price & Release DateįabFilter released Pro-Q 3 today, November 29. The developer must be on top of emerging technologies like audio-focused AI. Hopefully, FabFilter has something to offer in this regard, for it’s certainly among today’s leading plug-in developers and expectations are high. The latter is one of 2018’s leading trends among studio plug-ins and I expect to see it continue well into 2019. For example, Gramotech Babylon packs 48 filters while sonible’s smart:eq 2 takes care of business through a self-learning AI. Still, the competition appears to be stronger than ever. Indeed, there seems to be little, if anything, in terms of equalization that Pro-Q 3 can’t do. Where it stands?Ĭompared to other modern EQs on the market, which stand out with novel AI features, Pro-Q version 3 keeps holding onto the concept of being a “Swiss Army Knife” equalizer. The latter sounds particularly convenient for identifying clashing sounds and poking the appropriate “holes” in the frequency spectrum. New functionality includes dynamic equalisation, per-band mid/side processing, and the ability to view the spectrum analysis feed of any other Pro-Q 3 plug-in in your session. Alas, all we know about it is what little we can gather from the 55-second teaser video. Today, FabFilter announced the upcoming release of Pro-Q 3.
