Fabfilter´s Pro-Q 2

[Winston Wolf]

How does this compare to DMG Equick? soundwise obviously

I generally use the circular knobs below the graphic interface to adjust center frequency, gain and Q. I found I had the same issues you did, and still generally find eQuality a much quicker EQ to dial in using the graphic interface. That's really the only drawback to Pro-Q for me.

Yes, this is what I mean, the rotary knobs were extremely sensitive (the equivalent of physical knobs that are too loosen). Not so much a problem with the other two, but quite scary with the gain.
I don't get why anyone would want a knob so loose, every other eq plug I've used (stock on a DAW or a freebie) behaves normally in that sense.

The plugin is obviously by far the most attractive visually out there, and the GUI promises so much.. I really wanted to like it, but IMO it doesn't deliver on the sound front, at least not as much as the GUI promises (just my opinion of course).
I found myself fighting the GUI most of the time, tbh. Couldn't use it as a surgical eq with either the knobs or the spectrum window, and for a musical one, having A/Bd the same groups of parameters I still prefer my old trusty Q10 (with its horridly small graphical window ).

ps to anyone looking for a surgical eq I would recommend apQualizer (NOT musical at all, but imo it is excellent for things like doing subtractive work on guitars, which can then be translated to a different plugin).

AD Chaos if you shift click it makes much more controlled adjustments on all parameters.

Ah, thanks for the tip! I'll bear in mind if the new one comes with a trial.

I only bought this three months ago and now it's going to cost me $100 to upgrade. Sorry but that's just terrible.
