Now shipping, FabFilter Pro-Q (Mac / Win; $199 MSRP) is a precision EQ plugin that lets you create and edit up to 24 EQ bands with multiple curves.

Pro-Q has a Zero Latency mode, as well as the option to switch to a Linear Phase mode with adjustable latency. It also features a built-in, real-time frequency analyzer that provides visual feedback of your signal's frequency content; filter algorithms with precise analog modeling and unlimited internal headroom; a Mid / Side EQ option; and a clutter-free user interface.

You can create new EQ bands in one simple motion, by dragging the frequency curve; what's more, you can select multiple curves to drag and edit in parallel. Use the Mid / Side mode to EQ the mid and side signals separately. Each band can operate on the stereo signal or on the left or right channels independently for per-channel EQ-ing. Filter shapes include bell, high / low shelf, high / low cut with 6, 12, 24 and 48 dB / oct slopes. Furthermore, Pro-Q offers different display ranges: 6 dB range for mastering use, 12 dB, and 30 dB for sound-shaping during mixing.

Other notable features include fine-tuned knobs and controllers, interactive MIDI Learn, undo / redo and A/B switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, a help file with interactive help hints, sample-accurate automation, and AltiVec and SSE optimization.

Pro-Q is available in VST and VST 3, RTAS, and Audio Units plugin formats. For more information, please visit the official FabFilter Web site.
