Essential Information About FabFilter Pro-Q 4 Software
- Lightning-fast workflow thanks to "EQ Sketch": draw your EQ curves freehand to sculpt the sound in just a few gestures.
- Multi-instance control: a new instance list manages all your tracks from a single interface, with copy/paste of bands and presets between projects.
- Enhanced sonic precision: revamped dynamic equalization (Attack/Release, free side-chain, fractional slopes) and more accurate linear phase for a clear and natural sound.
- Musical color: "Character" modes to add an analog/vintage feel and better matching with zero latency and natural phase.
What FabFilter Pro-Q 4 Is For
Pro-Q 4 is a high-end parametric equalizer for mixing and mastering. It excels in transparent tonal correction, resonance reduction, creative tone-shaping, and fine-tuning the placement of each element in the spectrum. Its spectral dynamics precisely target problematic frequencies without altering the rest of the signal, ideal for vocals, drums, guitars, synths, and mix buses.
Main Features
Modern Interface and "EQ Sketch"
With a simple drawing, create complex curves that convert into perfectly editable parametric bands. The interactive value display allows parameter adjustments by dragging or using the mouse wheel, with an overall updated and smooth design.
Next-Generation Dynamic Equalization
The Dynamic EQ section gains Attack and Release controls for a more musical behavior, free side-chain filtering, and redesigned processing for less distortion. Fractional slopes (e.g., 3.5 dB/oct in LP/HP) offer ultra-fine control over filter slopes.
Advanced Session Management
The instance list centralizes all Pro-Q 4 occurrences: compare, solo bands, copy/paste settings between tracks and projects, and maintain a coherent overview of your session's equalization.
Color, Phase, and New Shapes
"Character" modes add an analog or vintage patina depending on the context. Linear phase accuracy is improved, as is analog matching with zero latency and natural phase. A new "all-round" filter shape expands spectral shaping possibilities.
