Pedro Viñuela Romero and FabFilter

"When I used Pro-Q and Pro-MB for the first time, I felt like I was in heaven! Amazing GUI but top notch tone and sound. In my opinion, this plug-ins are right now the ones I use to as a standard reference to judge others."

"In my day to day basics, I use Pro-Q 3 for clean and surgical tone treatment, specially when I have harsh high mids. In dynamic mode, I select a wide Q in the 3 Khz and the plugin does his magic! The Pro-MB is used here a lot. Mainly for control the lows and for making a crushed song more dynamic. Finally, I use the Pro-L 2 as my last processor to cut those peaks and make it loud!"
