This was subtly the best pro-Q tutorial I have seen thus far

[ryanmcnally]

Its gorgeous too. It's insane how much the GUI matters when you spend a while looking at it. Fan filter is soft on the eyes for sure.

Just bought for the. iOS environment. Your presentation style is clear, concise and very easy to listen to. Made it all the way through and will rewind again and again. Thank you

The best thing about such videos of yours is that MAYBE even if I buy the plugin, I will always come back to your videos because of the extremely brilliant and detailed explanation of what everything does

[OneFingerSnap]

Great video! One thing: the way you were doing dynamic EQ you were adding a straight gain/cut to the dynamic feature. If you just want straight dynamic behavior, you should put the regular gain knob at at 0. You can just create a node with gain at 0 and then press the down arrow on the bottom right of the micro HUD and select ‘Make Dynamic’ and tweak the dynamic settings.

I REALLY appreciate how in-depth this was, and how positive and impartial you were, especially considering you work for a competitor. I will definitely tune in to your other deep-dives.

I love this eq, it's so versatile it's crazy... And the dynamic feature of it is just THE best thing around...

I had no idea how well Fab Filter worked. Before I stumbled upon it, I was pretty much all iZotope. Now that I understand the actual dynamics and features with Fab Filter, I have the ability to shape the mix in a way that an artist can hear the potential in the instrumentals I send them instead of hearing a quiet/rough mix.

When someone hears something that is sonically sound, it’s almost subconscious.

Love this plugin line. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work!

[karmefunk]

that's probably the most explicative and comprehensive video about this EQ I found compared to the rest of fuffing around out there. Very simply put, exactly what I needed to get my head around it as I just got it. Thank you!

(4:25) If you double click, it'll add a LP/HP, depending on the frequency you're at.

I got all the FabFilter Plugs, and i can only reccomend them. The Multiband-Comp and the Saturation/Distortion is killer too. Hats off to FabFilter :)

[anthonyimprogo]

Love your teaching style. Straight to the point and informative. Please keep it up. We need more instructors like you!

[jcushon]

Thanks for this in-depth tutorial review. I own Fab Filter q3 because as you mentioned, I saw it in a lot of studios and several engineers raved about its flexibility. Having purchased it, I being more of a musician masking as an engineer (ahem’) used the presets more so. Then, I’d tweak from there. Your tutorial demonstrated the many, many options of this plugin. Now, I look forward to getting comfortable with it in a more ‘customizing’ fashion. Great tutorial and .... I might say.... your speaking voice is most pleasant.

Fantastic video.I love this plugin and has been my go- to plugin. One compliment--- you have a fantastic way of speech and very nice way of explaining things. I learnt about the Piano roll which I never clicked on before, thanks for sharing the knowledge of the whole plugin.

[carlosipkiss]

Great review answered everything I was wondering about the plug in 🙏🏼

[Deniqueology]

This was an excellent tutorial! Thanks again for your work!

[RickatSonyRed]

The finest introductory look at FABQ3 I've seen, great work, clear and concise.

[violamoonshape]

Great review! The Piano Roll at 11:00 is useful as long as you're working in the A=440Hz tuning. Would be great if the roll were tunable.

[CodyCleggMusic]

Just bought this plugin this week. Learned most of the features by just playing around, but there is simply SO much to this one plugin that I felt watching this video was definitely warranted. I learned a lot; thanks so much! This plugin is truly amazing IMHO. It's almost a plugin "suite" rather than just a single EQ. I'm very impressed so far and it's already changing my workflow after two mixing sessions.
