I have noticed this issue for several years, but current system specs and versions I just re-tested... https://www.fabfilter.com/forum/topic (Topic) Pro-L3 idea: Spectral limiting and priority EQ section Wed, 06 May 2026 11:20:25 GMT One idea for potential FabFilter Pro-L3 is spectral limiting, which might use the same FFT approach as FabFilter Pro-Q4's spectral dynamics but with psychoacoustic model (derived from lossy codecs like MP3 and AAC) to shape the gain reduction per frequency (e.g. masked parts received less gain reduction or something else) Another idea for Pro-L3 is the priority EQ section, which could behave superficially similar to Pro-C3's sidechain EQ section, which depending whether spectral limiting... https://www.fabfilter.com/forum/topic#comment24190 (Comment on) delay on automation level set (filter freq) Fri, 01 May 2026 08:26:29 GMT Nova (TDR), 7Q (Manda), H-EQ (Waves), etc... work fine and quickly (also without any oversampling). https://www.fabfilter.com/forum/topic#comment24189 (Comment on) delay on automation level set (filter freq) Thu, 30 Apr 2026 18:21:32 GMT Hi Paolo, We're investigating this issue, but it seems to happen with all other third party plug-ins as well, on different hosts. Do you have an example of a third party plug-in in which the quick automation works properly? https://www.fabfilter.com/forum/topic#comment24188 (Comment on) Pro Q3 and Q4 causes error in Pro Tools "Audio processing deadline not met" Thu, 30 Apr 2026 18:19:42 GMT Hi Alli, Would it be possible to send over a crash report that we can look at? It seems that there's something happening with the dynamic plug-in processing, but unfortunately we can't seem to find out what. https://www.fabfilter.com/forum/topic#comment24187 (Comment on) Pro Q3 and Q4 causes error in Pro Tools "Audio processing deadline not met" Thu, 30 Apr 2026 18:16:24 GMT I've been getting continual beachball crashes since updating to C3 from C2. That's the only thing I've changed in what was an otherwise stable system. After reading all of the posts about recent issues I tried disabling Dynamic Plugin Processing (I'm using 2026.4) and so far, today everything seems stable. The same crashing issues were not present with my UA plugins, but Im guessing that's because the processing is done by the satellite box, not the CPU. I have no other plugin brands... https://www.fabfilter.com/forum/topic#comment24186 (Comment on) ProQ4 - Issue when saving preset on PT Thu, 30 Apr 2026 10:16:53 GMT Hi Niels, Are you storing them in the plug-ins internal preset browser, or via Pro Tools preset browser? https://www.fabfilter.com/forum/topic (Topic) ProQ4 - Issue when saving preset on PT Wed, 29 Apr 2026 15:46:09 GMT Hello, I am using the recent update of Fabfilter ProQ4 and noticed an issue when saving presets in Protools. (using 2025.6.1) If I modify the settings of the Equalizer and try to save the settings into an already existing preset via the "Save Settings" option, the preset will not be updated with the new settings. It works correctly when saving to a new setting file.
