But years of hit-and-miss plugin purchases have taught me to be prudent, and to think twice before clicking the Buy button. Like everyone, I do like to have the best stuff. At its announcement, I admit to having been a bit skeptical at first. Now here we are nine years later and FabFilter has released a long-anticipated second update, Pro-Q 3. But one that’s very intuitive to use, and so lightweight that I found I could throw it onto every track and bus without worrying about overloading my aging CPU.
