Customize the Interface Size
FabFilter Pro-Q 2 lets you adjust the size of its interface.
This makes detailed editing easier.
Additional EQ Types
New EQ types have been added.
Band Pass
This familiar filter type cuts the low and high frequencies.
It gives the sound a distinctive radio-like character.
Tilt Shelf
Choose a pivot point, and the filter boosts one side while cutting the other.
This is a relatively unusual EQ type.
More EQ slope options are available as well.
Auto Gain
- Left red box: Gain and Q are linked to prevent extreme volume changes.
- Right red box: The level is adjusted automatically when an EQ point is boosted or cut.
This makes it easier to judge sound quality without being swayed by changes in volume.
Piano Keyboard
Enable the piano button to display a keyboard along the bottom.
This helps you identify the approximate pitch corresponding to a frequency
and learn the relationship between frequencies and keyboard notes.
