This looks fantastically perfect, of course...
But,

Yeah, double the feature, half the CPU

A lot of developers could copy THAT

This looks fantastic!
Based on current Pro-Q pricing, the upgrade would be between 52€ (65% off) and 75€ (50% off) for us Europeans which is reasonable.
However, even though I'll get maximum discount, I'm wondering if I really need it as Pro-Q v1 already does everything I need it to do. (and only had it for 3 months.)

I think the new phase mode plus new curves makes it worth it, and a number of useability additions like the keyboard and that method for grabbing part of a spectrum to place EQ points

Dan Worrall is the Michael Jordan of plugin demos. I always end up salivating after a plugin after watching one of his videos.

Great, so Dan is destined to follow up his voiceover career by being a terrible actor in underwear commercials?

So, who's Scottie Pippen in this scenario?

I bet Dan sounds great in underwear, in fact he probably sounds great in just about anything, or nothing at all for that matter. I get tingles just listening to him on that ProQ2 video. That voice and that sexy GUI....pure gear lust! Ooh, I think I need a cold shower!

Good question - I think many of us are in the same situation. Although the product is no doubt good, even the "discounted" price for the upgrade will be most likely high, a lot of money in these days. Fabfilter upgrade prices are what other developers crosscrade prices are - it seems that the market/tech leader can do this. H.

Yes, it won't come cheap cheap. Then I think compared to all the features they put in, the upgrade price will be a total bargain.

Better start getting information from somewhere else.

Not that I've ever heard it distort, I made a test - a normalized sine wave, boosted 18dB before Pro-Q, and attenuated by the same after Pro-Q. The result is a perfect sine wave, which obviously means it's floating point, like 99.9% of plugins -

Probably best to check "rumours" yourself before assuming they're true

How are you ever going to get 1000 posts per year with all your precious "accuracy" and "fact checking"? Eh? Eh?

Fabfilter Pro-Q 2!
