Pro-Q4 Upgrade

New in version 4

At first glance, FabFilter Pro-Q 4 looks quite similar to its predecessor. But looks are deceiving! Of course, the clean design and intelligence of Pro-Q 3 is still present, but a lot of exciting new functionality has been added to improve both sound and workflow:

• Usability improvements and EQ Sketch. Wondered if you could ever just draw the curves you’d like? Now you can!
• The new Instance list lets you control all instances in your session via a single plug-in interface.
• Use Spectral dynamics to treat problem frequencies more precisely and efficiently.
• Setup your mixes with one of the Character modes to add that analog, vintage feel.
• The Dynamic EQ section has been improved, with Attack and Release settings, but also optional free side-chain filtering.
• You can now choose to use fractional slope settings if you need to, e.g. a 3.5 dB/oct LP or HP filter.
• Improved dynamic EQ processing for less distortion and cleaner sound.
• Improved precision in linear phase processing.
• New All Pass filter shape.
• You can now copy and paste EQ bands or presets, also between instances or via the new instance list.
• Improved analog matching in zero latency and natural phase mode.
• You can change parameters directly via the value display in the EQ controller by dragging or with the mouse wheel.
• Overall new and fresh design.
• Many minor improvements.

Other key features
And of course, all the goodness of the Pro-Q 3 is still here: highest possible sound quality, dynamic EQ, Natural and Linear Phase processing, universal slope support for all EQ shapes, EQ match, a gorgeous, resizable interface with full screen mode for easy and precise editing, up to 24 EQ bands, intelligent band solo mode, stereo or mid/side processing, intelligent multi-band selection and editing for maximum ease of use and efficiency, spectrum grab, GPU-powered graphics acceleration, double-click text entry of parameter values, different display ranges: 3 dB and 6 dB ranges for mastering, 12 dB and 30 dB for mixing, Pro Tools hardware control surfaces support, MIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B comparison, and
an extensive help file with interactive help hints.

Upgrading to Pro-Q 4
Upgrading from Pro-Q version 3 to the new Pro-Q 4 is safe and easy: installing Pro-Q 4 will not replace
or delete the previous Pro-Q 3, 2 or version 1 plug-ins. All versions will co-exist and can be used at the
same time. This ensures that you can open old sessions that use Pro-Q 3 without problems! Of course,
FabFilter Pro-Q 4 can also read all presets from previous versions as well.
