oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah pop filter pro-q I'm hyped everyone I don't think you
tell on my face but I'm hyped I'm very hyped alright so today I'll be doing a
review of fabfilter pro-q 3 everyone's favorite eek you don't need to fact
check that it's fact I checked it ok so my biggest thing going into this is I
was wondering if it'll be worth the money to upgrade from fabfilter pro-q to
five tilted pro-q 2 is already a nearly perfect EQ and I didn't really see too
many ways like upgrade fabfilter pro-q 3 ok so let's get into the new features
it's a great dynamic EQ that wasn't there before the attack release and
threshold will set themselves for you which are great you got some manually
changing threshold - which is really useful for de-essing and sibilance looks
like they did a lot to refine existing features to their support for surround
formats up to 7.1 - there's a spectrum grab that can be used to find them fix
resonant sounds easily you can view other fabfilter instances underlaid
underneath your EQ you can pick and choose which one you want you no longer
need the sidechain the mid side and stereo EQ features can now work per band
as well there's a flat tilt EQ mode to adjust the brightness and more as well
as new filter mode see even more specific zone and the price tag is 179
dollars now I'm gonna go into what I thought about everything I really like
the dynamic EQ is something that fabfilter really needed it was one of
the only other reasons I would go to another EQ ever I really like that the
dynamic mode has its own auto attack and release settings it's really hard to set
those sort of things down about you guys but I could personally never hear it
optional static threshold is a great way to build de-essing as well I really like
what they did with the spectrum grab because I'm terrible at noticing
resonant frequencies so being able to visually see them and pull them down is
like I don't know I didn't even know I needed this but it's amazing for me
personally I don't have a surround system so that's one of the only things
I wasn't able to test I absolutely love it you can see others this is a bad
filter on command there's one of the things I loved about Neutron 2 is you
can visually see the clashing of the frequencies so make it much easier to
clean them up I freaking love this flat tilt EQ mode a lot of times I thought to
myself man this sound is too bright or this sounds too warm I need to bring it
in line and I'll try to do an EQ show but it doesn't quite do exactly what I'm
looking for but this flat tilt EQ mode is exactly what I've been looking for
this is probably the one feature I'm most excited about and honestly I didn't
know it was gonna be here so it's great surprise spring Christmas surprise guys
thank you there's a few new filter molds with smoother curves very subtle
differences not something you'd notice easily what I really appreciate about
this plugin is how they kept the same general design as fabfilter pro-q - I
hate when I get a new version of a plug-in and it's like I'm looking at a
whole new plug-in I don't know why developers would do that sort of thing I
think you just work with what you have there and kind of just build on it very
minimally kind of as they did with pro q3 what's really good about this type of
setup is you can dig into the new features right away right on the first
day you don't have to fiddle around as much I really appreciate the price tag
to $179 for the greatest CT of our time is that's something to behold people I
think they were trying to get the stop for cyber monday but they couldn't in
time so this is their late Cyber Monday gift so god bless you fat filter I got a
strong 8 - light none gotta give people room to grow I can't give anyone a 10
ever
