Pro-Q has long been able to work its equalisation magic on the mid or side channels in a stereo signal, as well as left and right, and this functionality becomes even more flexible with Pro-Q 3. The plug-in automatically configures itself to the multichannel format of the hosting surround track, and an intuitive selection panel enables EQ adjustment of multiple channels together. Pro-Q 3 works with all major surround formats, up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2. And, of course, dynamic EQ bands continue to operate with perfect analogue matching and support Linear Phase mode. An intelligent algorithm automatically chooses program-dependent attack, release, and knee settings, while the Threshold can be set automatically, according to the input signal level, or manually. Pro-Q 3 adds the ability to switch any of its 24 bands to Dynamic EQ mode, with a simple, elegant workflow: just raise or lower the Dynamic Range ring around the Gain knob to apply smooth compression or expansion to that band.

Beautiful, responsive, resizable GPU-accelerated graphical interface with full-screen mode. Separate mastering (3/6dB) and mixing (12/30dB) display ranges.
