Thanks for the clarification.

Not one of the developers I'm afraid, just a sound engineer that found a little niche making the most awesome tutorial videos which practically force you to buy what's demonstrated

There, fixed that for you

I always feel like I've learned something interesting. Sometimes it's hard to follow, though. Playing MFM2 melodically on a MIDI keyboard still has me scratching my head

Pretty sure that I won't have any problem with the Pro-Q 2 concepts.

Well, technically not THEIR developer, but a developer on his own right.

BTW lemme fix the above :

I hope their server can withstand the customer storm coming the first day it's available. Can't wait a day longer

Visually, as well as ergonomically, all the Fabfilter plugins are first class.

The good news is they also sound great.

Is this really news?

Thanks guys

But if a FabFilter plug is a gleaming new BMW, mine are toy cars made of Lego

Although I had EQuilibrium I always keept returning to Pro-Q due to the speed. Now with this update this EQ has everything I ever wanted and even more!

But will it sound better than Equilibrium? That and Equick have a great sound. Don't forget Equick is much quicker to use than Equilibrium.

I'm a huge Fabfilter fan, but where they often seem to fall a little flat is in the presets. Great plugs, good website, nice pricing scheme, excellent demos, beautiful design, consistent ergonomics, but so-so presets.

I know, I also had EQuick but still preferred workflow of Pro-Q. Soundwise I like both eqs, but somehow I always preferred low mids of Pro-Q and highs of EQuilibrium. But still Pro-Q for me is an instant grab where I achieve what I want in 30 second and move forward. It keeps me focused to the music I am mixing instead of paying attention to the tool. And this is why it is basically the only EQ I need.

I never had a look at the presets in Pro-Q, or the other mixing tools. The presets for Volcano2 are very good. The same for Timeless2. Twin2 is good, but could be better.

I hardly use presets with mixing tools (EQ, comp, etc.), but for synths or creative effects I usually search thru the presets for a starting point. And I've never found myself reusing my own settings in the next project. Exception are settings for sidechaining and a simple locut (it's in fact my default preset when I start Pro-Q, with the analyzer on) that starts at 50Hz and can be set fast and easy. Every project, mix or mastering needs its individual settings, so in this case presets are almost no use for me.

This! I stopped worrying about magic fairy dust plugins and just use a few tools that do the job and focus on the mix. It's liberating really.

Indeed, it makes no sense at all to have presets for EQs. Well, maybe Equilibrium for all it's different settings, but I never used one preset for Pro-Q or other EQs.

It does make sense to setup your own Pro-Q presets though, for returning tasks like e.g. reducing certain harmonics from a certain string instrument or removing bow noises from flageolet notes when making samples for a library. Those EQ settings often involve plenty of bands which take a while to setup, so once you've made such a preset the recall will save you a lot of time, then you only have to adjust the settings to match the respective root note you're editing and the overall gain settings by grabbing all the nodes and adjusting them simultaneously.

BDeep · Post by **BDeep** » Wed Aug 27, 2014 9:15 am

Ah yes, that obviously makes sense!

I don't understand how you would use presets on an EQ? I own Twin 2 and think the preset are great for that.

Fabfilter Pro-Q 2!
