Technical information

Introducing EQ Match mode, which can be used to automatically match the frequency spectrum of a signal routed to the plug-

in's side-chain input.

Introducing a piano display. When enabled, the frequency scale is replaced by a piano display, via which band frequencies can

be adjusted/quantized by clicking and dragging.

Introducing phase-invert option.

Highly improved CPU optimization. Pro-Q 2 is more than twice as efficient as its predecessor!

Improved analog magnitude matching in zero-latency mode.

Improved spectrum analyzer with 60 dB, 90 dB and 120 dB range settings, horizontal zooming, freeze and tilt options, better

smoothing and more speed settings.

Various interface enhancements, like multiple interface sizes and optional output level metering, Retina support on OS X and

High DPI support on Windows.

Other key features

And of course, all the goodness of the original Pro-Q is still there: highest possible sound quality, optional linear phase processing,

gorgeous interface with a large display for easy and precise editing, up to 24 EQ bands, intelligent band solo mode, stereo or

mid/side processing, intelligent multi-band selection and editing for maximum ease and efficiency, GPU-powered graphics

acceleration, double-click text entry of parameter values, different display ranges: 3 dB and 6 dB ranges for mastering, 12 dB and

30 dB for mixing, Pro Tools hardware control surfaces support, MIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B comparison, extensive help file with

interactive help hints.

Upgrading to Pro-Q 2

Upgrading from Pro-Q version 1 to the new Pro-Q 2 is safe and easy: installing Pro-Q 2 will not replace or delete the previous Pro-

Q 1 plug-in. Both versions will co-exist and can both be used at the same time. This ensures that you can open old songs that use

Pro-Q 1 without problems! Of course, FabFilter Pro-Q 2 opens all presets from Pro-Q 1 without problems. See
