Pro Q4, Something Others Haven't Talked About

[@Nayah9]

So many people don't realize they already have perfectly good spectral shaping plugins if they own Ozone. They're the Spectral Shaper and Stabilizer modules. Works great for me!

[@BILLYPATRON]

Spectral shaper in Ozone 9 is one of the best things i’ve ever used for taming frequencies. Just hover to any overbearing frequency and pull down thresh hold and tone knobs. Magic

@@Nayah9 Sorry, But I don't like anything from izotope.

[@Nayah9]

@@kinghandlee Wow, that's a pretty hot take... Mind explaining why?

[@kinghandlee]

@@Nayah9 They sound plastic to me.

[@Nayah9]

@@kinghandlee lol what

[@kaynezhashino]

Another simple but amazing test!! Thanks again man🤓🤓

[@nilespeshay1734]

re: latency... per Colt Caperune, once you turn on the spectral eq switch, Pro-Q internally processes +that particular filter+ in linear phase. Big CPU/latency bump.

[@kinghandlee]

@@nilespeshay1734 CPU ok. Not a big deal.

[@MusiclyricsByECDaleyC]

Great input! I like your style Sir!

[@kinghandlee]

Thank you!

Very interesting, still not sure whether to upgrade (£50 is pretty decent). I have been using Spec craft for similar stuff and really like it.

[@Dxtzip]

Your comparison between similar plugins was majorly flawed… you only used 2 bands in pro q while you were suppressing the whole freq spectrum on the others. I understand some dont provide that functionality but this shouldve been mentioned.

[@kinghandlee]

You think so because you can't hear the major difference between them.

[@Dxtzip]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@kinghandleelol yes in fact i can hear the difference. And i do agree with you pro q seemed to sound better. But your comparison was still flawed. Waves equator was suppressing the whole freq spectrum. You only used one band in smooth operator and Equalizer doesnt give you the band options. Shouldve compared with soothe 2 where you have multiple bands available and as these 2 plugins have been the most compared EVEN if they arent doing the same thing.

[@kinghandlee]

@Dxtzip You didn't understand what I mean. What I said is that other auto EQs can cause dynamic change But q4 doesn't. It has nothing to do with how many bands being processed.

[@JamesJones-th3ml]

Did you get the update? They released it today man. I was upset when I noticed the latency in a bass guitar while playing the bass and or guitar it creates latency with the spectral stuff. I haven't tried it yet but in Mac they said the update fixes the latency issue BUT I have windows so I am not sure BUT I am bout to fire up the system.

[@kinghandlee]

@@JamesJones-th3ml It's not for live or recording.

[@JamesJones-th3ml]

@@kinghandlee Did you get the update though? One of your issues sounds like something they addressed in the update is what I am trying to say. You showed a ton of latency when you activated the Spectral feature. It says if you have a mac... Thats why I said something. I don't. My issue is different. I don't think they can fix that I just can't use it while tracking guitars or vocals.

[@kinghandlee]

@@JamesJones-th3ml I did. It works well for me.

[@pjuliano9000]

Why can't people spend money on a Good DI for their Bass tracks ... Just spend $700 bucks on a good one so their is some sustain and really beef in the low end ... so many good ones out there

[@fractionalist]

Painful watching you destroy your lungs... however, interesting review!

[@kinghandlee]

@@fractionalist Just checked a few months ago. My lungs are super healthy. But thanks for your kind heart!😁

[@fractionalist]

@@kinghandlee Great news! I smoked 2-packs a day of unfiltered French Gauloises for almost a year after which, even after such a short stint of inhaling, had trouble breathing. I quit cold turkey, which is the hardest thing I ever did! I just felt bad for you every time you inhaled!

[@kinghandlee]

@fractionalist I used to smoke 3 packs a day, coughing every morning, also got shadows in my lungs. I switched to vape in 2018. No coughing after then. Shadows also gone after 3 years. Everything is fine now.

[@zisuiwangWZS]

我第一次把它挂到钢琴上去除浑浊时也瞬间发现这个功能很好听, 然后对比了soothe和speccraft, 它们都没能给我Pro4这种感觉. 可能确实是处理的方式不一样, 可能因为pro4这种功能是线性相位

[@kinghandlee]

@@zisuiwangWZS 这个好像默认并非线性，具体什么原因我也没有深究，好用就行了😁

[@ketarii]

Kirchoff the end 🙏🏽

[@kinghandlee]

@@ketarii don't understand

[@apologiajosecarlos]

Kirchhoff EQ is better.
