Is it just me, or does the Q knob not react properly when trying to adjust it?

How have I just now found this absolute treasure - both the channel and Dan Worrall? I have never seen such a skilled, visual, and "tactile" education of how some of these audio techniques actually work. Other pros just keep throwing around all the same pro terms, spinning knobs and clicking buttons that I cannot hear one bit with my old, untrained ears and haven't made me an ounce better in my self-paced world. The details that Dan chooses to explain are so expertly chosen, like knowing to focus on the peak meters and how they can be deceiving. He has a way of zooming right into the biggest question marks that come up and leave me scratching my head on why I seem stuck at the same quality level, with any changes I make just getting worse. I'm an engineer by trade, so maybe that's why a lot of these quantitative and/or mathematical explanations help me infinitely more than "warmth" and "presence". But these are absolute gems, and I wish I found them 3-4 years ago when I started dabbling with all this mixing and production stuff.

Resonance suppression inside a tool already so great...

The problem with LUFS (although it's the best we have currently) is that it doesn't include width. Width plays a huge role in perceived loudness

Good stuff thank you

I used to hate physics lessons at school, I simply didn't understand them, though when Dan is teaching, I enjoy them considerably more. Still don't understand a damn thing, though I'm sure if I watch this video a few times, I will have at least have spent more time trying to get my head around the principals than I ever did at school, even though I probably wont understand any of it.

Yes higher sample rates is always better. You’re welcome kids.

I need that pan flute sound he created in 10:09

I got lost midway, and wil give it multiple listens. This is surely a masterclass of a video. Thanks Dan!!

Pro-Q 4 introduces significant latency and delay issues, especially in Spectral mode, making it almost unusable in real-time mixing or tracking scenarios. Even outside Spectral mode, delays are noticeable and disrupt workflow. The increased CPU usage further slows down performance, forcing many users (myself included) to revert to Pro-Q 3. However, I found a solution: if you disable and then enable the plugin, it can fix the issue temporarily. (win10 - Studio One 7)

Too much cpu is wasted on rendering aniti-aliased flashy artsy ui for daws and vsts

Isn't video just great! I just got to the part just before the harmonics and was thinking shame they didn't include volcano thing ish in here and bam! there it was. Then I thought ah...but what about dynamic attack en real....en bam! there it was. From there I put it on my ...to rewatch later list😄..aint we just so clever Fabfilter! Fab - who needs a pdf! Edit - apart from you.

If there is a secret to maximum loudness for me, it is to NOT USE it. It’s so easy in the current swamp of pointless pop to use volume like a weapon and never stop shooting. Max volume is a gift, a tool for drama. Save it for the moment it means something to the piece, to the lyric. I have to confess I learned this a bit too late for some of my early records. A breathy, whispering lyric delivered at -0.5dB ref PK feels as silly as it sounds. I call that engineer music. Attention is paid when we speak softly, so if you need attention, get away from volume. There will usually be a place for it in nearly every piece, but the rarer it is, the more fascinated attention will be paid it. Listen to Peter Gabriel’s solo material for a masterclass in loudness use. You’ll find yourself leaning in, maybe even asking “what?” That should be the goal with lyrical music.

You guys at Fabfilter are awesome! I purchased Q3 not too long ago, and you allowed me to upgrade to Q4 free of charge.

I would have enjoyed this a lot more if it wasn't oriented towards the modern, lifeless, electronic music scene. Music now has all these gimmicks used to get attention from people. It's so tacky. Why are there so many people trying to create noise instead of recording a beautiful instrument played by a talented musician???

the terminology omg... 2 minutes in didnt get a single thing 😆 maybe this video aint for me

That is the coolest Eq I've seen in a long time.. never would of expected a built in vocoder of all things with it! haha

insanely detailed tutorial - thanks guys!

Is the match EQ feature any different in Pro Q4 from Pro Q3?

the rare Dan Worrall burp @ 11:19

Love spectral dynamics mode!

You guys at Fabfilter are awesome. I purchased the Q3 not very long ago, and you gave me the upgrade to the Q4 for free! Thank you.

Loving this, enough to make my newyear more then OKAY already!

This was awesome. Thank you for making this.

Really nice job with the music.

Enjoy the ASMR ProQ4 video featuring Dan's soothing voice. Just sit back and relax.

What's really missing for me is the ability to choose Pre- or Post-EQ for the saturation! As it stands, the saturation is very clearly post-EQ, which means it is sometimes working against the EQ move you may have just made. For instance, you hi-pass a signal at 110 Hz, add the Warm saturation setting, and you get all this build-up of very low frequency gunk... that you just purposely got rid of in the first place. The Subtle setting adds a lot of high frequencies, btw. Granted, these are fairly low level signals; but if you follow the FabFilter stance that you can add this plug-in across numerous tracks as a channel EQ, then of course it can build up. It needs to be either fixed as pre-EQ or switchable at the very least. Too bad, because I think the new saturation is decent-sounding on its own, although subtle.

I just do it because so far I’ve seen that if the mix sounds good in mono it ends up sounding great in stereo.

2mins in & my brain literally exploded 😅

This video needs to be preserved for future generations like they preserve the international prototype metre.

Oh my gosh! What is this song??

I recently purchased the Pro EQ 4 and the Pro Comp MB together. Wow. Little hard to take it all in. I can see as I learn more it's a really nice tool in the arsenal. I appreciate the opportunity to have videos like this one for the journey foreword.

Your videos are simply dangerous for my wallet.

Love this plugin and thanks for the great tutorial! Having an issue with Pro Tools Ultimate 2024.10.1 though where, when the automation snaps back to flat AND Spectral Mode turns off, it causes a little skip in playback of the session, even when the track with Q4 active is not actually playing anything, ie, the clip is finished and the plugin automation snaps back to default. No skip at all if the bands are in normal Dynamic Mode, only when Spectral turns off. I tried to post this on the Fab Filter User Forum but got the "Error: Forbidden" message. Thanks in advance!

Just got it and I’m excited, appreciate the information!

How do you get the spectral grabber now in Q4?

Does any one know were to find an unzip app for Dan Worrall's incredibly condensed introductions to Fabfilter's plug-ins? This is pure gold

This is such a good video about mid side holy damn thankyou

the god of tutoring

need a more in depth bit on the vocoder technique in the end!! whoa

Day-1 of requesting, morphing EQ & transients processing

this is the best sound design tutorial ever!!!!volcano 3 is the ultimate plugin to bring production to the next level 👍

How about adding a bell-dip on the kick or snare fundamental in the side chain as an alternative to the range or ratio?

The narrator in this video is fantastic. Dan Worrall I presume. Just props where it's due :)

Amazing info, beyond the scope of fab filter for sure

24:18 KZbin сейчас работает на частоте дискретизации 48 кГц (дефолтный кодек - Opus всегда работает на этой частоте, даже если вы отправили видео со звуком 44.1 кГц)

quiero aprender a usar este plugin en su totalidad ! 🤩

It's a good thing when you think these new features are an overkill, means the team is pushing the boundaries of software design.

Guys! Please! Where is MSEG modulatoon in Volcano, Saturn, Twin? Its 2024 and we got kinda analog modeled LFO in non-modeled modern GUI. Your plugins rocks, but modeling section sucks so hard nowadays. Thanks you. Scream of pain

Been waiting for THIS video for a while, we can say.
