This shows the cut/boost implications of overlapping bands neatly, while the sound is wonderful, allowing you to introduce serious cuts and boosts without producing over-bright or over-dull results.
Left/Right and M/S modes are available here too and what we particularly like is how the graphic 'blobs' representing each band adjust if you widen an adjacent 'Q' point.
Up to 24 bands can be set up simultaneously which represents huge flexibility and an Analyzer can be enabled for both pre- and post-EQ graphs. Hold down 'command-Alt' at the same time and you'll adjust 'Q' for that band. To enable a band, you simply double-click on the line and one appears, ready to be dragged up and down for cut or boost. This is unlike any other EQ we've ever used as, rather than a fixed number of bands which can be enable or otherwise, the default setting simply shows a flat EQ line. The Pro-Q is our favourite of the three processors, due to its extraordinarily flexible nature, great sound and wonderful interface. Be careful not to cook your speakers! Super-toned One note of warning - up to 36dB of output volume can be added with the 0dB position at the top of this dial rather than far right. Three modes - Clean, Classic and Opto - allow you to radically change the sonic characteristics of the compressor from clean and transparent through to warm and retro.
