I've had this plugin since it came out. Now I know how to use it.

[@samsmyers]

great!

[@AliasEverest]

This is by far the best explanation of how to use FabFilter EQ I’ve ever watched. Great work, thank you!

[@TheChiversBeatCompany]

Just got my hand on the Q3, I needed a little tutorial to clear it up. You gave me exactly what i was looking for with a clear and calm voice! THANKS SAM !

[@samsmyers]

Welcome, glad it helped!

[@Batmonthesequel]

The fabfilter eq is not an expensive plug-in for everything it’s capable of. Definitely the best of its kind.

[@grim1793]

or you can just crack it lmao

[@icheese4vc477]

@@grim1793you got a crack??

[@spiral-m]

I just got round to finally looking at the plug-in in more depth and using it more effectively. It's really a great piece of software and you helped me discover some more tools. Thank you so much!

[@joemillo]

This is an incredible tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such an easy-to-understand way. I will certainly get more from this EQ because of what I learned here. Awesome!

[@piscesman54]

Excellent video. Very informative. I've been using this plugin for a while and I never knew about some of these amazing features. It's not for nothing that it's so revered.

[@speedcrawlmusic]

Really helpful, thanks! ❤‍🔥

[@icehousemuzik]

very worthy plugin and help video. I initially came here to see if there was a way to lock a point and drag it up or down with a scroll wheel. This is what FL users are used to if they use Parametric EQ 2. I have learned much from you. Thanks so much.

[@ParlanceOpus]

2 awesome features you forgot: 1) click the little 'cog' icon next to the Q and it will slightly narrow the Q automatically as you boost, like an API EQ does. 2) The 'A' next to output volume auto-adjusts the output gain to be the same as you boost or cut frequencies. 👍

[@samsmyers]

thanks!

Thanks for the tutorial. Just bought the Pro Q3 and this video definitely helped me get started.

[@cobusprinsloo]

Thank you, I recently got it, and this video helped a lot.

[@Eduaro2U]

Remarkable. I bought this plugin a couple of days ago and have been flummoxing and floundering around - being totally amazed but almost totally lost at the same time. Though realising that Pro-Q•3 is head and shoulders above Logic Pro X's pretty good - but basic EQs. Now, thanks to you sir, I am even more amazed at what this thing can do. I suspect that FabFilter has increased the intelligence level of the human race through the implementation of some highly intelligent and creative R&D. Wouldn't that be good.

[@samsmyers]

Glad it helped! Fabfilter is amazing!

Hello:) amazing video! I have one question - because I am writing sort of cinematic music and I am a beginner - is it possible to do a final mix using only intuition and to listen a piece on diffrent headphones and monitors? Just to ballance particular instruments in my partiture by experimenting with dynamics?

[@distortionplayer1]

Dude just watch this video. It was really great. Thank you for taking the time to post something really formative. But you have a moment for a quick question? I honestly just got a hold of the software moments ago. I was going to email the company, but it just occurred to me that the pros, such as yourself lol might have the answer? Just for example purposes. If I am mastering a track and load pro q on the master channel for adjusting parameters in stereo and the sides only. Do you know if the plug-in has to be loaded once for both of these areas of adjustments (stereo and sides?) Or might I have to load it twice? With the parameters made for stereo on one plug-in. And the second pro q plug-in added for the side parameters. Basically separating the plug-ins for the separate areas of adjustments. Thanks for your time man. Cheers

[@samsmyers]

Thanks! U can actually choose for each band whether it is stereo, mid, side, left, or right. So u can do it all in one instance of the plugin!

[@distortionplayer1]

@@samsmyers thank the lord lol. I’ve used ozone 9 and apparently you need separate equalizers for the different fields in which you are adjusting parameters. Honestly this is amazing. Money well spent on Pro Q 3 Thanks for taking the time man. I appreciate you. Cheers!!!

[@RetroDaydreamMusic]

Great video, I just recently picked up this plugin to help with my metal mixes. I haven't worked with multiband eq's before, this plug-in is for sure a game changer and far as getting instruments to sit better in the mix.

[@Unknown-qr2jl]

Can u help me/explain to me on how to install it(I just bought and I'm new to all of this)

[@RetroDaydreamMusic]

@@Unknown-qr2jlThis plugin is a VST. So when you install it take notice of where the installation path is. Example: C:\Program Files\Vstplugins. After it is installed, based on what DAW you use. Make sure your plugins have that directory selected to search for it. Once you rescan your plugins it should be visable in your DAW when you search for plugins.

[@OfficeofthePacific]

What I don't understand about this plugin is the input and output and makeup gain. If we are only shown the output meter to the far right how do we know what the input is? Also, by adding gain how do we know if we cannot match it to the original input signal?

so cool that you can sidechain to multiple tracks in the same plugin instance

[@samsmyers]

How do you do that?

[@SkorpionDnB]

@@samsmyers I think i misunderstood haha you were just looking at the list of possible sidechain inputs. I thought you had set up side chains to all those within the same instance, but that is not possible (yet!) i guess, haha. Thanks for the tutorials, just picked up the fabfilter mastering bundle and these videos have been really helpful!

[@samsmyers]

@@SkorpionDnB oh ok for sure yea that would be cool if you could sidechain multiple inputs but I don't think it's possible yet. And thanks!

[@jonathanguzman7492]

Hey dude great video. I had a question maybe you might be able to answer if you have a moment. Let's say I have pro Q3 on snare track. And I am creating two dynamic bands that I am going to set up as a side chain to two different instruments within that 1 pro Q3 plug-in I have on that snare track.. I've noticed when I try to do this. And try to Side chain the two bands to two different instruments. They automatically default to the same one. Do you know if I have to have separate pro Q3 plug-ins on the snare track, one designated to the different instrument that I am going to side chain to? I thought I would be able to side chain multiple bands to any instrument for side chaining within the same one pro Q3 plug-in on the track. Hopefully I didn't confuse you. Anyway thanks again for posting such a great video

[@samsmyers]

yea you can only have 1 sidechained instrument. So you would need to put 2 Pro-Q3s on your snare track with each one sidechained to a different instrument.

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

Wow thank you so much for the this video.
