That's right. Customers who purchased Pro-Q 3 from Plugin Boutique within the last 60 days will receive Pro-Q 4 in their account automatically from FabFilter. - JC
Attack and release is a game changer. I always used Kirchoff EQ because it had it. Glad Fabfilter have listened to customer feedback. But the multiwindow is probably the most exciting feature. I've been begging for someone to make this!
With this update Fabfilter still supports OS X macOS 10.13 ! I was 100% sure the next update wouldn't be possible on my 11 year old iMac, but nope, Fabfilter has done it again !!! Love these guys !!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
@@PluginBoutiqueOfficial No functionallity is never "needed" (we can mix without), it is just good to have. But it can do marvelous thing on drums. Really good to play with Split EQ or Tonebooster EQ Pro to boost toms or snare right from drum bus. It is implemenetd just like M/S mode in fab filter (a single switch on the point to determine its transient/sustain type). But yes, Fab Filter Pro Q 4 has already a looot to offer and I celebrate with you 😉
@@PluginBoutiqueOfficial Note that 3 years ago, you claimed that "SplitEQ changed mixing forever", precisely because of transient VS sustain equalization. At least it is pluginboutique video title about it 😉
Good man. Cheers Joshua. Thought I was done after BF, but when I seen this drop, upgrading is unavoidable. The instances view is such a great addition to an already amazing EQ
The only walk-through I could find online today. Thanks Josh! Can we get some walkthroughs for the new RANDOM update and RANDOM Metal! There's not much out there on those two, and they are sick!
It's pretty cool that the Pro-Q4 is bringing spectral dynamics, which could earlier only be done with the likes of ReaFIR (in Reaper) and MeldaProduction SpectralDynamics, to the people.
I always resisted FF because i felt like i got everything i wanted done with TDR NovaGE...but....ah....seems like like i have no excuses left....the Instance feature alone makes this worth whatever the asking price is.
With this update, Fabfilter could really have eliminated the only competition still on the market, namely Sonible. With the Instance View in Pro-Q4, they didn't include a function to unmask all the tracks with just a few clicks. That would really have been a good idea if there was already such a good overview in the plugin. Too bad, then SmartEQ will probably remain my GoTo.
@@davidmcpoland5286 it'll be on 'my account' tab via their website, then scroll down; to see your upgrade options. Ha, with EDU I paid £25 for the upgrade from Q3,, bargain. :D
I would love to access the Big Gain knob ( with its features ) in the multi-window, so I don't have to close and re-open the instances of different instruments. Right now it's not possible to do it ALL from one instance, it does suck from this perspective. The multi-window instance feature looks basic.
How CPU heavy is the new version compared to version 3? EDIT: just tried it with two Reaper projects simultaneously open having one in each on the master chain with dynamic EQ engaged and they overclock. I love the sound and it’s a fantastic upgrade but will stay with V3.
Still no multiple side chain inputs though.....guess ill wait for Pro-Q 5 if you have never used an EQ with this feature, you dont know what youre missing
There is a workaround though as you can send multiple sources to the side chain input and then choose, with the individual free dynamic trigger bands, which source affects which side chain band via which free frequency trigger band you selected, works like a charm.
Upgrading from Pro-Q version 3 to the new Pro-Q 4 is safe and easy: installing Pro-Q 4 will not replace or delete the previous Pro-Q 3, 2 or version 1 plug-ins. All versions will co-exist and can be used at the same time. This ensures that you can open old sessions that use Pro-Q 3 without problems! Of course, FabFilter Pro-Q 4 can also read all presets from previous versions as well.
@@PluginBoutiqueOfficial Thanks. I'm thinking in terms of keeping a streamlined plugin footprint. If I uninstall ProQ3...will ProQ4 step in and follow all the old settings in old projects that once had ProQ3?
They've killed soothe and all other dynamic eq's on the market, i couldn't even think of another feature they could add on a version 5 😂 maybe some vintage emulations but there's millions of them
We deserve a giveaway. One last chance to finally win something. And this isn't something, this is everything. Plugin boutique, you know we all love you. Pretty please?
Thanks for this informative video, it was useful. But why do you have to edit background music that is totally unrelated to the content? Honestly that is very distracting. I do appreciate the features showcase though.
Just picked Pro Q 3 during black friday sales and the upgrade is free! 🎉

Crazy 🎉 those guys really rock
Yep same here!
and so it should be that cost
What if I pick it up today? Does it still count?
I've never been so excited about a plugin in my life
go go go! - JC

Aside from audio stuff I love the UI and dynamics of this software. FF devs are something else.
I had 9 instances on one project. I was maxing at 50% with them all on, and 47% with them all off..... so, pretty outstanding performance. - JC

Great to hear! Was worried about that aswell (Mac Pro 2010 here)
Wow, well done!!!
Only missing: Transient/Sustain EQ as seen in Split EQ and Toneboosters EQ Pro. These are really well nice.
I am not sure that functionality is needed here. - JC

the instance view is insane
yea, super smooth - JC
VERY nice indeed!!!!
Will grab the upgrade after this video... Bit of a no brainer really!
Go for it and enjoy! _ JC

I will do a live stream with them next Thursday. 5pm (UK). Come through. - JC
plugin purchase for this year> "just when I thought I was out.... they pull me back in!" 😎
It's pretty cool that the Pro-Q4 is bringing spectral dynamics, which could earlier only be done with the likes of ReaFIR (in Reaper) and MeldaProduction SpectralDynamics, to the people.
What should we take a close look at?
If the new spectral mode can replace the need for something like Soothe
@@RPhaF 👍
I summon the powers of ALMIGHTY DAN WORRAL for the ultimate Tutorial!!
Love Dan. Would love to have him on a live stream. _ JC

It's one of the best EQs out there. - JC
Looks interesting. Hoping to see an update to the ProMB soon 👀 ProMB2 anyone??
That would be epic - JC
Nice! Thanks for the review! Does it also show the graph of mid and side to compare?
this is insane !!!
facts - JC
Pretty cool, but is that new resonance feature up to par with soothe2?
That's what I need to know. I would upgrade instead of buying soothe2

Other than that feature, ProQ4 blows that away
OOOOOH! For £50 to upgrade, I can't sniff at that!
Yeah, I’ll probably pay £15 with my educational discount then 😂
Where are you seeing an upgrade for £50?
@@angrypandagames1792 same price with educational..but 59 euro for this is crazy

Got the update, wish it had Split EQ function tho. Btw what is that Ableton skin? Thanks!
The skin is called "Logic" - JC
Thanks for the introduction. One little feedback: Make sure not to overdrive/clip tracks. There are some nasty clicks in the piano sound
That is a lo-fi effect. It's meant to be there. - JC

Exactly what I was thinking because Pro3 is actually heavy when you have multiple instances
whats the latency of the spectral thing?
Can you mute or solo a track from the instance view?
I know you can bypass any instances... don't think you can solo any from there though. - JC
if they continue making improvements they are going to end up making the kirchhoff EQ
After black friday?...noooo.
A lot of companies put out new stuff after getting you to buy other things on sale
Of course. Why would they discount the new thing?
It’s free if you bought proq 3 in last 60 days
@@northtimo666 Its not that, its the fact most people spend their money and probably can't afford the update.
I saved up for ages for ProQ3 and bought it one week before the cutoff date for free upgrades. Bugger! 😕
Is this better than soothe 2 & Waves Curves Equator for ducking, making space etc?
How is it handling oversampling with saturation, time constants and spectral?
Still no multiple side chain inputs though.....guess ill wait for Pro-Q 5
if you have never used an EQ with this feature, you dont know what youre missing
There is a workaround though as you can send multiple sources to the side chain input and then choose, with the individual free dynamic trigger bands, which source affects which side chain band via which free frequency trigger band you selected, works like a charm.

Proq4 is a different plugin. You’d have to keep proq 3 for your old projects. I still have proq 2 for my really old projects
@@EpithetMusicTV Thanks
what are the crackling noises ?
That's a lofi effect on the piano. - JC
@@PluginBoutiqueOfficial I thought it might be a Special Feature LOL 🙄 ...
No transient/sustain option?
Not in this update - JC
Does the Spectral mode does the same thing as Soothe ?
Better than soothe
No. Soothe and other resonance suppressors track all the audio coming in and operate over the whole signal.
What is Soothe?
@@PluginBoutiqueOfficial Oeksound
@@Krastermusic what's the difference in Q4? Select the whole range and apply spectral suppression there
can i delete soothe2 now?
It's better than Pro Q3, but it still doesn't replace Kirchhoff EQ and Speccraft.
Something isn't right with vocal recording on this video, the mids of the vocal are inconsistent and lacking sometimes which is disturbing.
Why I bought soothe2😢😢
It's still probably better.. soothe2 is the best at what it does
Soothe2 is still better / has more control for what it does. Best to have both IMO (I do)
Don´t say " so OP!" You´re too old for that obviously, and so am I!
It is hilarious that is the one thing you felt like commenting on this video. - JC

Thanks for the review. But it would have been better if you had EQed your background music away completely.
Ok next time - JC
