Overview

The interface of FabFilter Pro-Q is simple and straightforward. The top part of the interface consists of the interactive EQ display that lets you add and edit EQ bands. The selection controls below the display change the settings of the currently selected EQ bands. The bottom bar offers advanced features like the processing mode (zero latency or linear phase), channel mode (stereo or mid/side), a spectrum analyzer, global bypass and output level and panning.

• Interactive EQ display
  The interactive EQ display shows you in a glance what's going on and lets you easily create and edit EQ bands. See Interactive EQ display.
• Selection controls
  The controls below the EQ display adjust the parameters of the currently selected curves in the display. See Editing EQ bands.
• Processing mode
  FabFilter Pro-Q can work in both zero-latency mode or in various linear-phase modes. See Linear-phase processing.
• Channel mode
  Each EQ band either works on both stereo channels, or on a single channel. The Channel mode parameter in the bottom bar toggles between left/right and mid/side processing. See Stereo options.
• Spectrum analyzer
  The Analyzer button enables or disables the built-in spectrum analyzer that lets you visually judge the effect of the equalizer on the incoming signal. See Spectrum Analyzer.

• Output options
  On the far right of the bottom bar, you can bypass the entire plug-in and adjust the output level and panning. See Output options.
• MIDI learn

• Presets, undo, A/B, help
  With the preset buttons, you can easily browse through the factory presets or save your own settings so you can re-use them in other songs. The Undo, Redo, A/B and Copy buttons at the top of the plug-in interface enable you to undo your changes and switch between different states of the plug-in. Finally, the Help menu provides access to help and version information. See Loading presets and Undo, redo, A/B switch.
