Pro-Q 3 is one of the easiest and most powerful EQs that I’ve ever used.
Fabfilter one review update#
The Pro-Q 3 update brings support for up to 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos. For post-production, this is extremely useful to have on every surround bus.

The same concept applies for surround mixing, with the ability to group stereo pairs (such as Ls/Rs), and even use mid/side processing within those stereo pairs. This provides the ability to treat the mid channel independently from the sides or the left from the right. Pro-Q has always had mid-side capabilities, but now Pro-Q 3 can quickly select the channel placement on a per-band basis, within the same instance of the plug-in. This makes it quick and easy to identify areas of frequency buildup in the mix. A red shading appears on the spectrum where frequencies intersect between the two selected sources. Pro-Q 3 also allows you to superimpose the frequency spectrum of any other instance of the plugin, making it easy to see the guitar and vocal spectrums at the same time, for example. In Pro-Q 2, the sidechain input spectrum superimposes over the primary input spectrum to show both simultaneously. Pro-Q 3 can communicate with other instances of the plugin to help make more informed mixing decisions.

Under the hood, Pro-Q is highly optimized and can be used in natural phase mode, linear phase, or zero-latency mode. The feature set is robust and presented logically for effortless usability.

The GUI is designed to maximize workflow and usability.

Pro-Q stands out in a sea of hardware modeling and emulation plugins because it doesn’t attempt to emulate the design, operation, or sound of a hardware EQ. Last October, Pro-Q 3 won an Engineering Emmy ® Award from Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. In 2018, FabFilter set out to improve on Pro-Q 2 with the release of Pro-Q 3. Released in 2009, Pro-Q firmly established itself as an industry favorite with its robust feature set, pristine sound quality and ease of use. Pro-Q has always been at the heart of the FabFilter lineup. Its product line includes a range of bread and butter mixing essentials, as well as creative effects and synths. The ‘dynamic’ evolution of an industry standard, top-shelf EQ pluginīased in Amsterdam, FabFilter is widely known for creating some of the best plugins on the market.
