About FabFilter Pro-Q 2

An equalizer is probably the tool you use most while mixing and mastering. That's why there are probably around 1001 EQ plug-ins

available. But the strange thing is: most of them don't meet top quality standards by far! Most just lack sound quality and the ones

that do sound okay, often have poorly designed interfaces that obstruct your workflow and creativity.

Now here's where we come in. FabFilter Pro-Q 2 gives you the best of both worlds: the highest possible sound quality, and a

gorgeous, intelligent interface that is designed to help you get 'that' sound quickly and easily.

New in version 2

At first glance, FabFilter Pro-Q 2 looks quite similar to its predecessor. But looks are deceiving! Of course, all the goodness and

intelligence of Pro-Q's interactive interface is still there, but a lot of exciting new functionality has been added to improve your

sound and workflow. And even more work has been done under the hood: Pro-Q 2 features a whole new processing engine, twice

as CPU efficient, with improved analog matching and our brand new, unique Natural Phase mode. Here's a list of the most important

new features and improvements:

Introducing Natural Phase mode, which not only perfectly matches the magnitude response of analog EQ'ing, but also closely

matches the analog phase response. It delivers the most accurate frequency response and best sound quality, even at the

lowest frequencies and highest Q settings, without introducing noticable pre-ring or a long latency!

Introducing Full Screen mode. With just the click of a button, Pro-Q 2 instantly fills the whole screen, making super-precise

adjustments easy and fast.

Introducing Spectrum Grab. Did you ever wonder how it would be if you could just grab that obvious peak in the frequency

spectrum analyzer? That's possible now!

Introducing universal slope support for all EQ filter shapes. Everyone is used to having different slope options for low- and

high-pass filters. But Pro-Q 2 introduces the unique option of having control over the slope of any EQ shape. So for example,

you can make ultra-narrow bell filters or very steep shelves. Also, Pro-Q 2 now supports filter slopes up to 96 dB/oct,

including 18 dB/oct, 30 dB/oct, 36 dB/oct and 72 dB/oct.

Highly improved linear-phase mode, now offering a better magnitude response while avoiding possible artifacts in the lower

resolutions. Also, frequency, gain or Q changes in linear-phase mode will sound smooth, no zipper effects whatsoever. This

might sound trivial, but it's actually quite unique in linear-phase processing!

Introducing new EQ shapes: Tilt and Band-Pass, in addition to the existing Bell, High/Low Cut, High/Low Shelf and Notch filter

shapes.

Introducing Auto-Gain. When enabled, output gain is automatically adjusted to compensate for the audible gain loss or

increase introduced by the active EQ bands.

Introducing Gain Scale, which can be used to scale the gain of all EQ bands (that have a gain setting, i.e. Bell and Shelf

filters) between 0% and 200%.

Introducing Gain-Q interaction. When enabled, Q and gain influence each other in a pleasant way often found in analog mixing

consoles.
