Since 2009, FabFilter Pro-Q has set the EQ standard. Version 4 adds Spectral Dynamics, EQ Sketch, Instance List, vintage saturation, and more.Mixing and mastering featuresFabFilter Pro-Q 4 offers every tool a demanding engineer could wish for: top-quality linear phase operation, zero latency, and unique Natural Phase modes, along with a refined Dynamic EQ that now includes attack and release settings for precise control. Its per-band stereo, mid/side, and left/right processing makes it versatile for any mix, while full surround support up to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6 ensures immersive audio workflows. The updated spectrum analyzer features customizable settings and collision detection, complemented by an intelligent solo function and optional Auto Gain for smooth operation.Effortlessly sculpt your soundPro-Q 4's workflow-enhancing features, such as Spectrum Grab, EQ Sketch, and Instance List, make achieving professional results faster than ever. The large interactive EQ display allows seamless band creation, dynamic EQ enablement for any band, and multi-band selection and editing. The Piano Display further enhances precision by letting users adjust band frequencies in musical note values.FabFilter Pro-Q 4 is designed to help you achieve your sound in the quickest way possible. Via the large interactive EQ display, you can create bands where you need them, enable dynamic EQ for any band, and select and edit multiple bands at once.FabFilter goodiesPro-Q 4 retains all the beloved features of its predecessor, Pro-Q 3, while enhancing them with modern upgrades. With up to 24 EQ bands, Natural and Linear Phase processing, universal slope support for all EQ shapes, and dynamic EQ with external side-chain triggering, it delivers unparalleled flexibility. The interface remains as gorgeous and functional as ever, with GPU-powered acceleration, Full Screen mode, multiple display ranges, and intuitive parameter control. MIDI Learn, Pro Tools hardware support, undo/redo, A/B comparison, and an extensive help file round out the package, making Pro-Q 4 a comprehensive tool for every mixing and mastering need.New in version 4Usability improvements and EQ Sketch. Wondered if you could ever just draw the curves you'd like? Now you can! The new Instance list lets you control all instances in your session via a single plug-in interface. Use Spectral dynamics to treat problem frequencies more precisely and efficiently.Setup your mixes with one of the Character modes to add that analog, vintage feel.The Dynamic EQ section has been improved, with Attack and Release settings, but also optional free side-chain filtering. Improved dynamic EQ processing for less distortion and cleaner sound.Improved precision in linear phase processing.New All Pass filter shape.You can now copy and paste EQ bands or presets, also between instances or via the new instance list. Improved analog matching in zero latency and natural phase mode.Change parameters directly via the value display in the EQ controller by dragging or with the mouse wheel. Overall new and fresh design. You can now choose to use fractional slope settings if you need to, e.g. a 3.5 dB/oct LP or HP filter.EQ SketchSetting up initial EQ settings in your equalizer often involves adding a few bands to get started, like a low cut filter, a fewbell filters and a high shelf, creating a general starting point. Wouldn't it be great if you could draw that curve in one gesture? Well... now you can!Of course, EQ Sketch is not about adding many or very precise bands with specific settings; it's about sketching a global curve to start with, adding a few initial LP/HP filters, bells and shelves to start with in a fast and easy way. It might even take a bit of practice to get good at it, but once you do, it's a real time saver, especially in combination with the Instance list. Dynamic EQOne of Pro-Q 4's standout features is dynamic EQ. Any of Pro-Q's bands (with Bell or Shelf shapes) can be made dynamic, at any slope, with perfect analog matching and in Linear Phase mode.The dynamic behavior of Pro-Q 4 has been carefully tuned and is highly program dependent: attack, release and knee all depend on the processed audio, the frequency range of the EQ band and the current dynamic range. This results in very natural and smooth sounding compression and expansion, useful for a wide range of dynamic EQing applications.Spectral dynamicsPro-Q 4 introduces a new variation on dynamic EQ: Spectral dynamics. With traditional dynamic EQ, the gain of an EQ band depends on the level of the input signal. In Spectral mode, Pro-Q 4 doesn't change the gain of the whole band, but triggers on specific frequencies...Compatible with: All major DAWsSystem requirements: Mac OSX 10.7 <;Mac OSX 10.12
