apQualizr2 has become my default EQ in Pro Tools.
I have FabFilter Pro-Q 4, I almost never use it ahead of apQualizr2.
Key Features:
• Intuitive and rapid setup for ducking functionality
• Separate modulation section in the lower tool dock
• Direct routing into the dynamic module.
Dynamic Controls:
The plugin offers comprehensive dynamic control with adjustable:
• Look-ahead timing
• Hold, attack, and release parameters
• Knee settings (click from soft to hard)
• Upward compression ratios
• Downward compression
• Detection modes: Peak, RMS, or Transient for super-fast response
* Every filter, harmonic, gain, frequency can be modulated and I find it quicker to tweak than my other fav Melda.
The workflow is streamlined and the interface makes complex dynamic EQ tasks surprisingly accessible.
