Description:FabFilter Pro-Q 3 is a professional equalizer plugin designed for precise mixing and mastering in any DAW. It delivers clean, musical tone shaping with an intuitive visual interface, making it fast to fix problems and enhance character. Core features include up to 24 flexible EQ bands with zero latency, natural phase, or linear phase modes; per-band dynamic EQ for automatic compression or expansion; and a highly detailed spectrum analyzer with Spectrum Grab and EQ Match. Work in stereo, left/right, or mid/side with steep filters up to 96 dB per octave, scalable gain, auto gain, and convenient band soloing. Ideal for music production, post, and podcasting, this VST/AU/AAX EQ plugin helps you achieve transparent results quickly and consistently.
How to use:1. Download and install the plugin from the official website, choosing VST, AU, or AAX for your system. Launch your DAW and authorize your license or start the trial.
2. Insert Pro-Q 3 on a track, bus, or the master. Pick Zero Latency for tracking, or switch to Natural Phase or Linear Phase for precise mixing and mastering.
3. Double-click in the display to add bands, then drag to set frequency and gain. Adjust Q for width and use Band Solo to hear exactly what you are changing.
4. Enable Dynamic mode on a band to control resonances or add punch. Set the threshold and choose whether the band compresses or expands. Use stereo, left/right, or mid/side per band when needed.
5. Use the spectrum analyzer and Spectrum Grab to capture peaks, try EQ Match with a reference, and A/B with bypass. Save presets and apply subtle gain scaling to finalize your mix.
