Spectral Dynamics:

Spectral Dynamics in Pro-Q 4 is a game-changing feature that lets you apply expansion or compression selectively to frequencies. This ensures you can target only the areas that need attention, whether it’s harsh frequencies or unwanted resonances. By maintaining full control over how the EQ interacts with specific elements in the sound, Spectral Dynamics gives you the ability to clean up your mix while preserving the integrity of the rest of the signal. The result is a more polished and controlled sound with less effort.

EQ Sketch:

The EQ Sketch feature in Pro-Q 4 allows for quick and intuitive frequency shaping. With a simple drag of the mouse, you can create EQ curves directly on the display, offering a natural way to visualise your sound. This functionality is perfect for both seasoned engineers looking to create fast, broad adjustments, and beginners learning the ropes of EQ design. EQ Sketch removes the complexity, allowing for more creative freedom and quicker workflow.

Multi-Instance Control:

Pro-Q 4’s Instance List allows you to manage all instances of the plug-in within your project from a centralised location. This multi-instance control feature significantly speeds up the editing process, giving you the ability to instantly navigate between instances, tweak settings, and ensure consistency across your mix. Ideal for large projects, it reduces the time spent searching for individual instances, helping to streamline your workflow.
