FabFilter Pro-Q 3 FAQ
Is FabFilter Pro-Q 3 free?
Yes, FabFilter Pro-Q 3 is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is FabFilter Pro-Q 3 legit?
🤔 The FabFilter Pro-Q 3 app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I bought this one for dynamic eq and I was sooo disappointed there is no manual attack/release implemented. Especially attacks are fixed wrong way for my purposes. Oxford or waves dynamic eq sound much better imo, but this could be fixed by implementing manual attack/release. This unit just kills my transients because attacks are too fast.
Inaccurate
It absolutely is inaccurate. When you do a long hold and the frequency peeks are displayed the numbers are off. Definitely not a PRO app. Fix it.
The Best
My favorite surgical+ EQ on any platform: MacOS, Windows, or iOS. It’s packed with features, but the beauty of the app is its perfect interface. It’s a joy to work in.
game changer
Pro Q helped me really grasp the concept of additive and subtractive EQ while it enabled me to perform those tasks more efficiently. The cross-track visualization component and surprisingly low DSP usage really puts the bow on the present and shuts the mouth of any fab filter naysayers. I was able to afford one FabFilter app and I was very happy I made that decision Pro Q when my mixes started immediately improving and sounding so much more professional. Looking forward to slowly collecting all of these desktop-level apps for my ipad.
I can’t upload
How to install in my Cubasis please help me
Inaccurate!!!! 👎🏼
I used a single pure tone to measure the accuracy of this EQ and it turned out to be off by 20Hz at least. I used a free app called NA tuner for A&B, the NA tuner gave correct reading. I emailed customer service ( Ralph ) just to hear that it works fine on their end, after several emails they requested video of my test and the sample I used, I sent them multiple times, after 3 weeks of emailing back and forth all I got is, we didn’t receive the sample even though the email thread includes multiple attachments of the same wav file. They are playing me and wasting my time just so they won’t admit that their Auv3 isn’t accurate. Last time I purchase anything from this developer.
Dec 21 Update 👎🏽
Just downloaded the update, now when I open the interface in Cubasis, I get a scratchy mess! Just resizing the window causes so much feedback, the track slows and eventually just seizes into oblivion. Thanks! 🙄
Wow wow
I started using my ipad for live gigs with an interface with aum , I was looking for a good equalizer for my iPad 6 generation shouldn’t take up much CPU process, also something to be able to work with midi And guess what I don’t have nothing bad to say I think it just works great. I am also very happy with the compressor on every band in two words.! Just great. !Thanks
The price is worth it! (19 year old telling you this)
I was watching a lot of my favorite YouTube audio engineers use this bundle and was like “Okay lets get it so I can follow along better.”
It was way better than I ever imagined!
It can do my EQ setting for me! (Helpful with a trumpet gotta say)
It has soooo many presets as-well! I am just amazed at the detail and quality of the sounds.
I cannot thank FabFilters enough for all of their outstanding products.
Seriously, I’m a 19 year old kid telling y’all its worth it.
Your very happy customer.
