The latest addition to FabFilter's Pro plug-in range is an EQ that they tell us delivers the cleanest sound and an uncompromising feature set, all behind a great looking, intuitive and clutter-free interface. Here's the rest of what they have to say about the Pro-Q in their own words...
FabFilter's software instruments and effects have won the company many awards and fans across the globe thanks to their simple philosophy – to develop plug-ins that sound every bit as good as they look. The Pro-Q precision EQ is no exception, combining a clean and accurate sound and a never-before-seen feature set that has none of the sacrifices you normally have to make when choosing an EQ. And with all of this power crammed behind a great looking interface, Pro-Q could easily become your 'go to' plug-in for every EQ application – be it musical, surgical or creative.
With Pro-Q it's easy and intuitive to create and edit up to 24 EQ bands with multiple curves. Pro-Q has a zero latency mode, but – unlike so many other EQs – greater transparency and precision is possible with the option to switch to a linear phase mode with adjustable latency. There's also a built-in, real-time frequency analyzer that gives instant visual feedback of your signal's frequency content – be it pre- or post-EQ.
With total control of the frequency curve and unparalleled visual feedback relaying instant analysis of the signal processing also comes superb sound quality. Pro-Q's groundbreaking filter algorithms offer precise analog modeling and unlimited internal headroom. There's also a mid/side EQ option for the ultimate in sparkle and width for your mixes.
Such a comprehensive feature-set would usually impact on ease of use but Pro-Q's intuitive interface makes precise editing a breeze. The plug-in also incorporates FabFilter's clutter free 'what-you-use-is-what-you-see' feature so only displays the curves that are in use with their associated controls. Never has precision EQ-ing looked so good!
Ultimately, then, Pro-Q offers the best of everything: functionality and usability with a feature-set and sound you've always asked for behind an astonishing interface that will enhance your creativity and give you precise control over your EQ every time.
