How To Use Fabfilter Pro Q 3 (Tutorial)

In this tutorial, I'll explain how to use FabFilter Pro Q 3 EQ plugin from Fabfilter. This is by far my all-time favorite EQ plugin.Fabfilter Pro Q 3 has all the essential features you need in a modern EQ. There are not a lot of tutorials on how to use Fabfilter Pro Q 3 so in this video I'll go over all the features and show you how to use it.
There's quite a lot to over here. Fabfilter Pro Q3 is packed with useful features, ranging from dynamic EQ to full Dolby surround support, 24 EQ bands, external spectrum visualization from other FabFilter Pro-q 3 EQ's (on other mixer tracks), mid/side, left/right processing, and much more.
The best thing about Fabfilter Pro Q 3 is that it's very quick and easy to use. As a music producer, having a fast workflow is key. If you're looking for the best EQ plugin for music production, then FabFilter Pro q 3 is a strong contender indeed! This is actually my go-to EQ plugin, and I use it in all my projects. Many wonder what's the best EQ for mastering, the best EQ for vocals, and so on, and my answer is always the same: Fabfilter pro q 3 can be used for just about everything. It's just as good for mastering as it is for vocals, guitars, synths, drums, and so on. There really isn't any "best" EQ for different things. They all basically work the same way. The main difference is the features they offer, and their ease of use.

I've been using this EQ for a little over a year now and never knew about that automatic makeup option or what some of those other features were capable of. Awesome vid, thanks for sharing this!

[GWFO]

Just watched your exporting tutorial from like 5 years ago, glad you still make content, you helped me loads

[bllydrum]

Been using Pro-Q for a couple years.... and I just now learned it has automatic makeup gain. Amazing.

[markl]

Tutorials are well explained and clear

[knoxhardly]

Awaiting the other video, this is my favourite EQ by far and I've learnt a few things from this video massive thanks! -KH

[caliyonder]

your video quality has gone way up since the last time i watched one if your videos WTFFF ty for all the info you describe it in a very easy to learn way <3

[hebergee]

You're the best! Thanks for the clear explanation 🙃

[ReubenWalton]

I am having a problem where it's not letting me adjust the Gain knob on Band 2. I can't move the middle knob on it so there's no way to adjust the gain of a notch cut I have made.

[johnnyanko]

Still using Pro Q 2, but even that is far superior to most other EQs! Thanks for the vid

[NAWN]

thanks! I already use this plugin but still learned super useful stuff!

[jareddrogose]

You've finally shown me how to get thin sounds to full sounds. Thank you. I've always wondered how they do that.
Side note, I'd like to send you some of my stuff, but I'm seriously pinched for money. Would it be possible to get feedback in the future?

[joinslayer]

You have manual options about the dynamic eq. Just click on the Auto to open them.

[DipshankarDas]

Thanks for sharing useful information :) What do you think about Kirchoff EQ?

[MirkoAmorini]

The band with the three large knobs below the line has disappeared. what to click to get it back? I create a (point)but nothing😢

[buklau.]

Do you have any tips on using tonal balance 2? I've just bought it and I'm unsure how to get the lines to go inside the green areas :P

[silas_h]

What do you mean by latest version? How do you get updates on that, or do you mean latest just since Q3 is released in comparison to Q2?

[joedominguez-romero]

I have Pro-Q 3, Am I missing out on Pro-Q 2. I didn’t get Pro-Q 2 because I have the third Pro-Q, but now thinking if Pro-Q 2 has anything cool and unique that Pro-Q 3 doesn’t have. Of course the third one is way superior, but I haven’t been able to get a simple answer on if Pro-Q 2 would be worth to get even tho I have Pro-Q 3, or would it just literally be wasting money

[fireraid]

Tdr Nova Is a good one as well if you're looking for a free one.

[amitbhati]
