This per-band processing extends beyond stereo implementations into surround sound applications up to 7.1.2 (Dolby Atmos). If you need to filter the lows out of the sides, notch out some resonance from the middle, and attenuate a harsh crash cymbal on the left of a mix, you can do that all in one instance of the plug-in. This is particularly useful for mastering engineers, as they no longer need to load multiple instances of the plug-in for left/right or mid/side processing. In Pro-Q 3, this option has been implemented on a per-band basis. In previous iterations, you could tweak the left and right channels independently, or switch the whole plug-in into mid/side mode for M/S processing. Stereo functionality has also been updated. This helps you identify where, for example, a kick and a bass might be competing for the same slice of the frequency spectrum. You’ll also note that the plug-in shades any possible conflicts in a reddish hue. Pro-Q 3, however, takes EQ-matching a step further: now you can choose any other instance of Pro-Q 3 in your mix and compare it to the source audio instantaneously. Pro-Q 2 provided EQ matching via the sidechain input. With dynamic mode, you can use the Pro-Q 3, a de-esser, while EQ’ing the rest of the signal in a more traditional fashion. You’re given an intuitive range control to handle the degree of dynamics-processing, though the threshold can be set manually if need be. Attack and release are handled under the hood. You can use this mode to compress or expand a frequency band based on the strength of the incoming signal, much like a multiband compressor. However, Pro-Q 3 offers new features, such as streamlined EQ-matching with other instances of Pro-Q 3, per-band M/S or L/R stereo processing, support for surround sound up to 7.1.2, and a new Dynamic EQ mode.ĭynamic EQ can be implemented on any bell or shelf filter. The familiar and intuitive GUI with 24 clickable bands hasn’t been changed, for example. Many features remain true to the version 2. FabFilter Pro-Q 3 represents the third iteration of the company’s well-regarded equalizer.
