FabFilter Pro-Q

The Pro-Q EQ is said to combine 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.

According to FabFilter, here are its key features:

• A great sound from state of the art filter algorithms with precise analog modeling and unlimited internal headroom (no clipping).

• Operates either in zero latency mode, or in linear phase mode with adjustable latency.

• Interface that is ideal for easy and precise editing.

• What-you-use-is-what-you-see to minimize screen clutter and maximize usability.

• The ability to create new EQ bands just by dragging the frequency curve.

• Select multiple curves to drag and edit in parallel.

• Up to 24 EQ bands.

• Filter shapes: Bell, High/Low Shelf, High/Low Cut with 6, 12, 24 and 48dB/oct slopes.

• Each band can operate on the stereo signal or on the left or right channels independently for per-channel EQ-ing.

• Mid/side mode to EQ the mid and side signals separately.

• Built-in real-time frequency analyzer with Pre- and Post-EQ modes.

• Ability to double-click for text entry of parameter values.

• Different display ranges: 6dB range for mastering use, 12dB, and 30dB for sound shaping during mixing.

• All the usual FabFilter features you’ve come to expect: fine-tuned knobs and controllers, interactive MIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an help file with interactive help hints, sample accurate automation, and AltiVec and SSE optimization.
