FabFilter Pro-Q 3 is a top-quality EQ plug-in with up to 24 bands, perfect analog modeling, dynamic EQ, linear phase processing, and a gorgeous interface with unrivalled ease of use. With its unique Natural Phase mode, it matches both the magnitude and phase response of analog EQing perfectly. Innovative features like Spectrum Grab and collision detection together with its intelligent interactive EQ display make Pro-Q 3 an absolute joy to use.
The Pro-Q 3 app filters the microphone input and plays it back in real-time. To use Pro-Q 3 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. Pro-Q 3 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app.

I can use this on every track because of its very clever programming to be very lightweight on the iPad’s resources. Fully featured, including dynamic EQ, side-chaining, multiple filter types and so much more. I say rubbish to the complaint about the accuracy of the on-screen scales. You EQ with your ears, not your eyes. I will use the on-screen scales to get me close when going after a known issue, but in the end you cut, boost, and filter with your ears. There’s a reason that engineers all over the world are raving about FabFilter’s EQs and the rest of their plugins. They’re all fantastic tools!!
game changer

Pro Q helped me really grasp the concept of additive and subtractive EQ while it enabled me to perform those tasks more efficiently. The cross-track visualization component and surprisingly low DSP usage really puts the bow on the present and shuts the mouth of any fab filter naysayers. I was able to afford one FabFilter app and I was very happy I made that decision Pro Q when my mixes started immediately improving and sounding so much more professional. Looking forward to slowly collecting all of these desktop-level apps for my ipad.
Inaccurate!!!! 👎🏼

I used a single pure tone to measure the accuracy of this EQ and it turned out to be off by 20Hz at least. I used a free app called NA tuner for A&B, the NA tuner gave correct reading. I emailed customer service ( Ralph ) just to hear that it works fine on their end, after several emails they requested video of my test and the sample I used, I sent them multiple times, after 3 weeks of emailing back and forth all I got is, we didn’t receive the sample even though the email thread includes multiple attachments of the same wav file. They are playing me and wasting my time just so they won’t admit that their Auv3 isn’t accurate. Last time I purchase anything from this developer.
Wow wow

I started using my ipad for live gigs with an interface with aum , I was looking for a good equalizer for my iPad 6 generation shouldn’t take up much CPU process, also something to be able to work with midi And guess what I don’t have nothing bad to say I think it just works great. I am also very happy with the compressor on every band in two words.! Just great. !Thanks
Fixed a bug that could cause the spectrum analyzer to show peaks at slightly incorrect frequency values.
