FabFilter Announces Pro-Q

Pro-Q
Combining power with precision, the latest addition to FabFilter's Pro
plug-in range is an EQ that delivers the cleanest sound and an
uncompromising feature set, all behind a great looking, intuitive and
clutter-free interface...

FabFilter's software instruments and effects have won the company many
awards and fans across the globe thanks to their simple philosophy – to
develop plug-ins that sound every bit as good as they look. The Pro-Q
precision EQ is no exception, combining a clean and accurate sound and a
never-before-seen feature set that has none of the sacrifices you
normally have to make when choosing an EQ. And with all of this power
crammed behind a great looking interface, Pro-Q could easily become your
‘go to' plug-in for every EQ application - be it musical, surgical or
creative.

With Pro-Q it's easy and intuitive to create and edit up to 24 EQ bands
with multiple curves. Pro-Q has a zero latency mode, but – unlike so
many other EQs - greater transparency and precision is possible with the
option to switch to a linear phase mode with adjustable latency. There's
also a built-in, real-time frequency analyzer that gives instant visual
feedback of your signal's frequency content – be it pre- or post-EQ.

With total control of the frequency curve and unparalleled visual
feedback relaying instant analysis of the signal processing also comes
superb sound quality. Pro-Q's groundbreaking filter algorithms offer
precise analog modeling and unlimited internal headroom. There's also a
mid/side EQ option for the ultimate in sparkle and width for your mixes.

Such a comprehensive feature-set would usually impact on ease of use but
Pro-Q's intuitive interface makes precise editing a breeze. The plug-in
also incorporates FabFilter's clutter free ‘what-you-use-is-what-you-
see' feature so only displays the curves that are in use with their
associated controls. Never has precision EQ-ing looked so good!

Ultimately, then, Pro-Q offers the best of everything: functionality and
usability with a feature-set and sound you've always asked for behind an
astonishing interface that will enhance your creativity and give you
precise control over your EQ every time.


Key features:

- A great sound from state of the art filter algorithms with precise
 analog modeling and unlimited internal headroom (no clipping)

- Operates either in zero latency mode, or in linear phase mode with
 adjustable latency

- Incredible interface that is ideal for easy and precise editing

- What-you-use-is-what-you-see to minimize screen clutter and maximize
 usability

- The ability to create new EQ bands just by dragging the frequency
 curve

- Select multiple curves to drag and edit in parallel

- Up to 24 EQ bands

- Filter shapes: Bell, High/Low Shelf, High/Low Cut with 6, 12, 24 and
 48dB/oct slopes

- Each band can operate on the stereo signal or on the left or right
 channels independently for per-channel EQ-ing

- Mid/side mode to EQ the mid and side signals separately

- Built-in real-time frequency analyzer with Pre- and Post-EQ modes

- Ability to double-click for text entry of parameter values

- Different display ranges: 6dB range for mastering use, 12dB, and 30dB
 for sound shaping during mixing

- All the usual FabFilter quality you've come to expect: perfectly fine-
 tuned knobs and controllers, interactive MIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B
 switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter
 transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints,
 sample accurate automation, and AltiVec and SSE optimization


FabFilter Pro-Q is now available for EUR 139, USD 199 or GBP 124. It can
be used on Windows and Mac OS X in VST and VST 3, RTAS and Audio Units
plug-in formats. Bundles with FabFilter Pro-Q and other FabFilter plug-
