But in using it I realize that the compression is so transparent that I'm now almost glad it doesn't have it.

The ability to cut frequencies only when they become problematic and leave the tone otherwise intact is the future of EQ.Īt first, I was disappointed by the lack of attack & release parameters for the compression. I find myself using the dynamic function far more than I thought I would, opting now to compress instead of cut on just about everything. But the ease and speed of the Q3, the transparency of the filters and compression algorithm, and the seemingly unlimited flexibility makes the Q3 transformative. Of course I've been using Dynamic EQ for years. Got a weird frequency peak that only occurs when the bass player plays a B flat.? Click and compress that frequency so that it only cuts when that note plays leaving the rest of your bass tone fully intact. The ability to just click and drag a frequency band has now evolved into the ability to click and compress a frequency band. Pro-Q 3 introduces surround sound processing for the first time, supporting multichannel mixes.

Even with version 2, I can't imagine having to work without its ease-of-use, Simplicity and the beauty of its interface.īut now in Q3, it's clearly in a world of its own. Every other EQ is archaic compared to the fabfilter.
