Pro Q3 is much more surgical when it comes to frequency bandwidth and contour, and really shines when you want to downward compress or upward expand a very specific band of frequencies.
Pro Q3 is a parametric EQ with the ability to downward compress or upward expand bell, shelf, and tilt filters. You are unable to sidechain compress the low end of your sub triggered by an external kick drum or modify the degree of stereo unlinking of bands. In addition, you cannot use Pro Q3 as a downward expander to attenuate spill/noise or as an upward compressor to bring up the sustain of an 808. You can set the knee, so that it eases into compression, starting at a low ratio and building to the set ratio when the signal reaches the threshold, this is called soft knee or instantly compress at the set ratio, as soon as the signal passes the threshold, this is called hard knee. Set the amount of compression after the signal passes the threshold with the ratio. In Pro MB you are able to modify the shape of the compression with attack and release parameters. Therefore, Pro MB is ideal for multiband compression/expansion duties, where control over dynamics are most important but over a broader range of frequencies.įor example, you want to compress the upper mid range of a stereo master.
Unlike Pro Q3, Pro MB is a fully featured multiband compressor/expander with controls for time constants, ratio, knee, and lookahead, as well as the ability to sidechain, upward compress and downward expand. However, Pro Q3 has some advantages and disadvantages when compared to Pro MB. Like Pro MB, Pro Q3 can dynamically control a range of frequencies. I thought I would write a quick post demonstrating a few practical applications of dynamic EQ. FF Pro Q3 Static Atten.png 904×599 121 KB
