7 Different Latency Types Make it Perfect for MasteringĪ lot of plugins offer linear phase options, but few offer as many at the Pro-Q 3.

With the exception of the flat tilt, each of these filter types can have their slope altered from 6dB pre octave to 96dB per octave.įurthermore, the bell filter can be combined with a Gain-Q setting, which mimics the effect of increased gain on the Q of a band, similar to analog consoles. Overall a very useful eq to have.9 filter types make the plugin incredibly versatile.īell, Low Shelf, High-pass, High Shelf, Low-pass, Notch, Bandpass, tilt shelf, and flat tilt. I plan to make full use of my demo though as it is very good and will revisit a purchase after the update.

The lack of a bypass makes this a no go for me at this moment, but I contacted support and they are aware about the bug and it could see an update. It is only stereo which can be a bummer, no mouse scrolling on parameters for fine tuning, no bypass in AAX, not enough key modifiers for my liking, and the analyzer is far from my favorite. 31 or 32 bands which is more than enough. It also shows some useful info on the graph such as db and note values along the side and bottom. The only exception being Evo with a wider Q which is awesome for cutting. Lastly, cutting nasties especially from the mid range of vocals faired better than Evo, BxDigital, and ProQ2 which I would prefer a dynamic eq. Definitely gives Bx Digital a run for its money in that regard. I actually prefer it in M/S mode for final touches on a mix or making space for a vocal in a busy instrumental. I decided to continue down that route which ended up being a happy accident. After a half an hour trying to match what I was hearing with other eqs I realized I was in M\S lol. The highs are even better than Pro Q2 imo. Where Slice further excels over Evo channel is in transparency, sharp Q surgical tasks as well as specifically boosting the highs which are articulate and airy. I decided to completely ignore that after I did some extremely exaggerated boosts and it still sounded good! I tried the same with the Evo channel strip.nope. It was so busy and I couldn't make head or tails of it after using Flux Evo channel strip. The first time I used Kilohearts Slice honestly my expectations were very low as the spectrum analyzer threw me off.
