Fabfilter pro q2 manual manual#

I heard linear phase was good for certain aspects of mastering but also read as a general rule of thumb only use linear phase if you're going to mix together multiple copies of the same sound with different EQing. I think I would rather listen to those with proven results.

Fabfilter pro q2 manual manual#

People complain about the pre-ring, say the bass isn't hitting as hard, I honestly have never even played around with them and always have left it on Zero Latency but after hearing a very successful engineer, one of the most popular hip hop producers atm, and the plugin's manual say the other modes work better. So it delivers the most accurate frequency response and best sound quality, even at the lowest frequencies and highest Q settings, without introducing noticeable pre-ring or long latency! 'ДЄfter reading this, I thought it was obvious I should switch, but I wanted to learn a bit more & I constantly see people saying they recommend to just use the Zero Latency mode most of the time. The manual literally says Pro Q 2' s 'unique Natural Phase mode performs even better It not only perfectly matches magnitude response of analog EQ'ing, but also closely matches the analog phase response. I did some research and even read some of the Pro Q 2 manual (i don't have 3 ). He says if you used natural phase or linear phase instead of zero latency this wouldn't be the case. He points out how on the second Pro Q 3 you can still see frequencies on the graph below 100hz, even though he 'cut them out' on the first one. In this case, the intention was to cut out everything below 100hz. The way he explained it was by keeping Pro Q 3 on zero latency and adding a highpass filter to an effect. He then says that he was working with Mixed By Ali one day, and Ali said that he used to always leave it on Zero Latency mode, but once he switched it to either Natural, or Linear Phase, everything sounded 10% - 15% better. I was watching a recording of KennyBeat's first twitch live stream & at one point he mentions that when using pro q 3, he used to leave it on Zero Latency mode. There's a tldr at the bottom for those who don't wish to read.
