Say you have an annoying frequency that arises only when a certain passage in a song plays: for whatever reason, there's a spike at 2k that you want to deal with, but only during the pre-chorus. So for those of us* who don't know what "dynamic EQ" is: essentially, as I understand it (having only just now learned about it) it's an EQ that kicks in when a threshold is met. Is it worth it to upgrade? What does 3 offer that 2 is lacking? It’s $3 now.Īlas, those who bought Pro-q 2 on sale have a $15 upgrade.

The upgrade from pro-q 2 to 3 is usually $15 for me. I think it is important to note that "all parametrics can achieve the same EQ curve" is not the same as all parametric eqs are the said:

He readily admits and other pro audio engineers point out that some eqs are set up to have more efficient work flows than others and may be easier to work with.
I think Q3 has an EQ-matching function not in ToneBoosters (though not 100% sure of that).Īnd where "equivalence" is concerned (and he says this) that is strictly (where it applies) about the theoretical possibility to match eqs. There are a couple of other things potentially of interest. For instance, it doesn't apply to linear phase eqs. I am not saying ToneBoosters isn't the same quality as FF but I've seen people overextending Worrall's conclusion. The relative equivalence in terms of being able to replicate each other's eq curves (given enough time and patience) applies to digital parametric eqs. I also get excellent results with Auria’s channel strip and buss FX, which are professional-grade (by PSP, mind you) and come for free, but having the option of using Fab Filters just saves (a lot of) time and : worrall's video doesn't quite say that all eq's arr equivalent. You get there easier though with a better UX and a better algorithm, both of which the reason why Fab Filter dominates the market and the reviews. You know his argument is a straw man fallacy, right? Anyone can get great results with about anything - the producer is the key. FF is great, but you can get very similar results from other (cheaper) plugins FabFilter paid this guy a decent wage to promote and explain the entire FF plugin range, and yet he still speaks very candidly about being able to achieve much the same results with stock EQs and compressors. I thoroughly recommend his recent "What's wrong with stock plugins" series.īy the way.
