100K views. Wow. Ok guys what plugin should I review next? Comment below!
Gullfoss By Soundtheory? its a dynamic eq controlled by some kind of Artificial intelligence.
808 thing already did a video on it! Check my previous ones!
Vocal finalizer , please .
You should be yelling about Spotify stealing everyone’s music
You don’t create the music for pennies
You shouldn’t be paid in pennies

This was subtly the best pro-Q tutorial I have seen thus far
Thank you baby
How was it subtle? It was an in depth 30 minute tutorial.
Its gorgeous too. It's insane how much the GUI matters when you spend a while looking at it. Fan filter is soft on the eyes for sure.
Your Neutron 3 demo with Mitch Gallagher a couple years ago remains stellar. You were generous doing this vid.
Thanks dude. Very kind of you to remember and leave a comment.
Great video! One thing: the way you were doing dynamic EQ you were adding a straight gain/cut to the dynamic feature. If you just want straight dynamic behavior, you should put the regular gain knob at at 0. You can just create a node with gain at 0 and then press the down arrow on the bottom right of the micro HUD and select ‘Make Dynamic’ and tweak the dynamic settings.
I think this would be way too much information for him. This video needs a good edit as he seems to be one chapter ahead of the rest of us.
I got all the FabFilter Plugs, and i can only reccomend them. The Multiband-Comp and the Saturation/Distortion is killer too. Hats off to FabFilter :)
Best plugins out there.
Thanks that was a great intro, I’ve been drooling over this unit for a long time but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Is it worth is or does parametric eq do the same thing?
Thanks so much for doing that. I bought Q3 (for iPad) a couple of days ago and have been staring at it not knowing how to start ever since! You have completely demystified it for me. Now I need to rework my workflow as I am sure many of these features done earlier in the mix process will save a huge amount of time. It also looks to me like dynamic EQ is going to be a winner on most things but I guess it needs practice and a very good ear.
my pleasure!
As part of my 2020 studio refurb (and decluttering effort !) decided on minimising plugins in Logic Pro X - will be using Fabfilter Pro Q3 as my main EQ so this was really helpful :-)
This is a really good option for sure ! I'm working with just a Neve channelstrip and build a analog console emulation into my logic Pro X
(4:25) If you double click, it'll add a LP/HP, depending on the frequency you're at.
that's exactly what i was thinking watching him doing click and move. Double click for god sake!
I love this eq, it's so versatile it's crazy... And the dynamic feature of it is just THE best thing around...
Got it yesterday. It rules. And your overview was excellent, well done.
Thanks. I do own this plugin and appreciate all that you pointed out. I will put this to work right away.
Thanks for sharing your video, I just bought the pro q3 and your video helped me out immensely. Must appreciated.
Even Jonathan Davis lead singer of Korn praises this thing and says that he uses it. Just that sells it for me. 🤘
Thank you for the great video! It was very helpful. I own this plugin and some other fabfilter plugins. They’re all very useful and I like the way they sound. They also all have lots of functions that sometimes take me a while to discover because, in the interest of time, I grab for tools that I think might impart something helpful quickly or I’ll grab for something that I’m very familiar with.
During my downtime I jump on RUclips to dive deeper into the products I use, things I’m considering for purchase, or just to gain more knowledge.
It’s nice to collect all the latest (virtual) gear we can get our hands on, but it’s even nicer to be really good at using things we already have. I think it can be more effective and it’s definitely much cheaper.
Thanks again for the video. You got me where I needed to go with this EQ. I can see why my friends swear by it and now I can take better advantage of it.
Best wishes - Tim
13:57 ,, why am I sitting on the top of my chair, with popcorn in my hand, with my face in my screen, getting the feeling this is the most exciting movie I've ever seen... :O
DALO same here! :O
Perfect introduction and overview of Pro Q3! I already used it in many projects and did not know everything you showed. Thanks!
Thanks dude!!
Really useful. Yes, I made it to the end. This video is about perfect for me. Many, many thanks.
Thanks friend
TNice tutorials is absolutly the best video of the world you expaining skills are good and it was a honor to see tNice tutorials vid well done
Great video Geoff. I enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Your style is getting much better. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
I literally googled this question word by word, and you answered it perfectly. Thanks
Lol.
It's kind of unreal that the mere fact of a plug-in being resizable is a feature (basically something that literally every other app on your computer can do by default).
yeah welcome to 2013...lol..
that's probably the most explicative and comprehensive video about this EQ I found compared to the rest of fuffing around out there. Very simply put, exactly what I needed to get my head around it as I just got it. Thank you!
Check out Dan Worrall, this is nothing close to what he does
I had no idea how well Fab Filter worked. Before I stumbled upon it, I was pretty much all iZotope. Now that I understand the actual dynamics and features with Fab Filter, I have the ability to shape the mix in a way that an artist can hear the potential in the instrumentals I send them instead of hearing a quiet/rough mix.
When someone hears something that is sonically sound, it’s almost subconscious.
Love this plugin line. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work!
Fabfilter Pro Q3 is the best EQ on the market.
Geoff, really well done tutorial... great to have people like you and Dan Worrall breaking down all these plugs. THX!
Nice to be mentioned in the same breath as Dan! Thanks dude.
I have this plug-in. Never used it, after watching this tutorial i def will use it again, so much cool features i did not know about. Thank you!
Thanks much! One of the better and more detailed explanation of this EQ plugin on Da Tube. Fabs site is great also but the guy explains like he going out the door : ( Keep up the great work : )
Great review answered everything I was wondering about the plug in 🙏🏼
Wow, thanks for the amazingly informative video on Q3! I’ve used Q2 for over a year, and just recently upgraded to Q3. Your explanation of the UI was great, and I even learned some new tricks. I wish you would do a similar video for all of the Fabfilter plugins 😊 Thanks for your effort on this video.
Fantastic video.I love this plugin and has been my go- to plugin. One compliment--- you have a fantastic way of speech and very nice way of explaining things. I learnt about the Piano roll which I never clicked on before, thanks for sharing the knowledge of the whole plugin.
I love this thing. The fab filter MB is also so amazing. Sometimes you don't even need the q3 for mastering purposes.
Great tutorial! Thanks!
thank you for that very detailed lookthrough! never thought I would watch the whole video :D haha. btw listening to your voice is relaxing
cheers!
The plugin Is the tool, but Geoff you are the artist of eq! Freaking amazing producer
This is my main eq for all my busses. You can unmake instruments within a group - then unmask groups to each other.
Thanks for this in-depth tutorial review. I own Fab Filter q3 because as you mentioned, I saw it in a lot of studios and several engineers raved about its flexibility. Having purchased it, I being more of a musician masking as an engineer (ahem’) used the presets more so. Then, I’d tweak from there. Your tutorial demonstrated the many, many options of this plugin. Now, I look forward to getting comfortable with it in a more ‘customizing’ fashion. Great tutorial and .... I might say.... your speaking voice is most pleasant.
I REALLY appreciate how in-depth this was, and how positive and impartial you were, especially considering you work for a competitor. I will definitely tune in to your other deep-dives.
Glad it was helpful!
Just bought for the. iOS environment. Your presentation style is clear, concise and very easy to listen to. Made it all the way through and will rewind again and again. Thank you
Thanks Peter
Precise, clean, superior versatility, easy to use, pretty
My first impression is... It's beautiful
thx for making this vid. I don't see why this filter is better than the built in eq in logic however.
Salt Spring Design Five minutes with it and you will know why. It’s my go to eq, and I’m no plug-in junkie.
Woah, great video mate!
I use Reaper, and now I use the stock plugins, more than ever. Yes, they look like they were made in DOS, but they sound great.Try looking into them. Maybe you´d be surprised of how great they sound.
The best thing about such videos of yours is that MAYBE even if I buy the plugin, I will always come back to your videos because of the extremely brilliant and detailed explanation of what everything does
I appreciate that!
Just bought this plugin this week. Learned most of the features by just playing around, but there is simply SO much to this one plugin that I felt watching this video was definitely warranted. I learned a lot; thanks so much! This plugin is truly amazing IMHO. It's almost a plugin "suite" rather than just a single EQ. I'm very impressed so far and it's already changing my workflow after two mixing sessions.
Wait... In pro-q2 at the very edge of the screen it automatically suggests a hp or lp filter. Now it's shelf only....? 😮 Shouldn't it behave like the older version... creating shelves if you're near the plugin border but at the very edge creating filters??
dragging at the ends of the yellow line creates a shelving filter, double clicking creates a high or low cut
Beautifully explained! Looking to upgrade to the ProQ3. Thanks
nice review! very precise.. Good job!
thank u sooo much this is definitely the best video explaining this plugin u made my day :)
Excellent detailed breakdown of the features. Succinct and really useful. I have this plugin and I am just getting to know it.
If you could do something around Side-Chaining - that would be useful to me. I got a hint of what it might be from your video but would like to understand it more.
Fab filter is really awesome. Too many instances of fab filter really bogs down the daw. Thank you for the video RUclips should pay you even more
Thanks for the kind words. Out of curiosity: how did you find this video? I made this a few months back just a few weeks ago the views have totally skyrocketed.
I’ll just stick to my 31 band Behringer.
Just kidding.
i really apreciate your help with dowloanding this software
Thank you so much. i have 2 and I'm off to get 3 right away :D great video man !
Love your teaching style. Straight to the point and informative. Please keep it up. We need more instructors like you!
Thanks so much for sharing! I love your channel! Best of luck!
The only proper Fabfilter Pro Q3 settings for any track with the revolting i-min, bVI, bIII, V chord progression is:
1. Leave all frequency bands at null.
2. Reduce output to lowest possible setting.
3. Take computer to Lampung and drop it into Krakatoa.
If you please review the Smart EQ3 of Sonible. I find your reviewing very nice and lucid. Thanks.
Nice tutorial. All Fabfilter plugins are that great, anyway. Over them all, the fabulous Pro-R, one of the most natural sounding algorhythmic reverbs.
I prefer Exponential Audios Tbh. Very different interface but the sound..wow.
Don’t touch the lighting bro! It’s perfect Geoff! You got it nailed! Voice over sounds like honey. I could listen for days. Thanks for your time as always. You know Crave DSP? It’s my Personal FabFilter.
Intriguing walk through of an incredible plug-in! Albeit the fact that proq3 can be used and leveraged to its exhaust in a music production/mastering scenario, it does have its pertinence in the content creation/podcast/voice over world. Unfortunately for this part of the world, detailed walkthroughs on RUclips made explicitly for content creators/voice/dialogue is sparse (to say the least).
It will be great to see you cover the focused-versatility of proq3 …exclusively for voice!
Thank you so much this helped a lot!!!! You saved my life
Great overview of one of my "must have" plugins. I learned a few things and I use it all the time. Thank you!
TY brother
This was so helpful!! Thank you 🙏🏼
This is great, thank you!
This is great, thank you!
This is so so good bro. Much love and respect to you ♥
Best tute i'v watched in a long time
Great vid Geoff!
I agree its a great video, im buying it right now
Thanks!
Brand new to it - very, very, very helpful - Thanks!!
Great vid thanks for sharing
watch more and learn more your are great thanks.
AWESOME! this is the EQ I was looking for, it has everything I wanted in one!.. and perfect review, great job. Thanks a lot!
This is incredibly concise and thorough. Your knowledge clearly shows and your ability to explain made it easy for me, a beginner who had a very general idea of EQing, to be marveled by the possibilities in mixing/mastering - and of course, understand the feature of Fab Filter Pro Q3. Super engaging and helpful, thank you for this!
just downloaded it. looks super cool! great vid too man. earned you a new sub lol
Ton of real Hype that's for sure.
Thank u soo much. i was wondering y it didnt soft the sa for as well
Great tutorial very clear and well spoken, great analogies and very helpful. I have the Q2 which does most of what the Q3 does fo it was very helpful. Had a few "i didnt know that" moments. which is great. I sure hit subscribe and will be checking more! Did you happen to do one for the L2?
Great info, thank you very much. Immeditally bought it, so Fab should give you some freebies! Cheers. Frank
My pleasure!
Can Pro Q3 be used for a player to EQ tracks for playback or stricktly mixing? Do you think Saturn might be better option for a player?
thanks
It might have real-time playback capabilities but I’m not sure in a real world situation. I only use it for mixing.
Because it's the best digital EQ plugin out there.
Just saved you 29 minutes and 33 seconds. ;)
I just use it for music playback but I learned a few new things today. Thanks.
Excellent overview which prompted me to try out FabFilter Pro Q3, currently on sale for US$135. I really like the interface. However, iZotope is telling me that I can have Nectar 3 and the Advanced versions of Neutron 3 and Ozone 9 as a package for another $65, so I checked those out too. If Pro Q3 was the only that could be resized, I’d buy it, but iZotope’s new versions also offer resizing. On EQ, I don’t think that there’s a significant functional difference. I’ll decide before the 4th, when Fabfilter’s sale ends, but the iZotope offer is pretty attractive. You’ve complicated my life, and I hold you responsible for upcoming damage to my pocketbook, but thanks anyway :)
Hahaha. Thanks for commenting Rory, nice to see you here again. FWIW: Fabfilter offers more bands to play with (24 vs Neutron’s 12) and Fabfilter has a more sophisticated M/S + L/R channel node functionality. That being said, I’ve never needed to use more than 8 bands on any given track and I’m seldom needing to reach for MS/LR nose, stereo is all I usually needed. Outside of that the only significant difference is all the smart tech in iZotope’s stuff which Fabfilter can’t offer.
Oh my god it took me this long to find out about the spectrum overlapping this EQ is insane
The best guide to pro q 3 i've seen, will watch more, new subscriber from Manchester (UK)
You should check out Dan Worrall videos if you think this is good.
Thanks for this video. I'm pretty sure CNN is using this track of yours in their ads.
Installed, everything works, thanks!
That you can have mid, side, left, right nodes on same graph is cool. In izotope you can have either left/right or mid/side, but not both. And they're on 2 different tabs. That's one of things they need to improve.
Man now I’m ready to make music. Thank you I’ll come back to say another thank you again
is your DAW a Garageband?
Logic Pro X
@@ManchesterMusic they have the same design.. anyway thanks..
God, I'm glad I found your video that helped me
Organization is a key to success
I would like Fabfilter to create a plug in with only two buttons on it: 1. Compose, Produce and Distribute button (Which could be called CPD button), and 2. Collect The Loyalty button.
Awesome turtorial
i think ozone 9 handles dynamic processing within eqs a little better but as you said this might be for the more intermediate/ advanced users. i would definitely use fabfilter as a last resort fine tuning tool to clean up mixes
Very nice!!
Just got the essential bundle from Fabfilter with the EQ, reverb and compressor.
A very nice walkthrough of its features. Keep it up :-)
