FabFilter goodies

Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly tuned knobs, 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, advanced optimization and much more.

All your Pro-Q 4 instances in one interface

With Pro-Q 4, you can control any other plug-in instance in your session from a single interface, easily navigating the list by filtering, pinning and zooming as desired.

You will discover that the Instance List is a huge time-saver, making it much easier to setup initial EQing when starting your mix session.

Precise treatment of problem frequencies

In Spectral dynamics mode, Pro-Q 4 doesn't change the gain of the whole band, but triggers per specific frequency within a band when it exceeds the threshold, leaving other frequencies untouched. This is a great way of treating varying problem frequencies.

Typically, you would need a separate and often complex plug-in for this type of processing, but Pro-Q 4 makes the process simple to use and easy to understand, as a natural extension of normal dynamic processing.

Just draw the curve you need

Setting up initial EQ settings in an equalizer often involves adding a few general bands to get started, like a low cut filter, a few bell filters and a high shelf, creating a general starting point.

Wouldn't it be great if you could draw that curve in one gesture? Well... now you can with EQ Sketch!
