I'll definitely be upgrading. I have other dynamic EQ's but since Pro-Q2 is my default PT eq it's nice to have it with their easy to use interface, already swapped it out on the song started yesterday with dynamic cuts in place of the statics I had on some drums, very nice. I thought the 96dB slope was insane but the brickwall is nuts.

Yeah I'm quite interested in that feature. Izotope did it with Tonal Balance Control or whatever but I'd rather have it in Pro Q3 I don't want izotope stuff everywhere it's just not my thing.

I’ll be getting this definitely. I have pretty much limited myself to UAD and FabFilter as I find it better to dig deep into a smaller set of plugins. I checked my FF account and I can upgrade for €52 so its a no-brainer. I see I can get the L2 for the same but I only use the Pro-L to turn up my final summed bounces to -14 LUFS ... so I’m not sure I need it
And yes, their demos are awesome!
EDIT: Just bought it. Got it for €42 ex VAT in the end as an upgrade from Q2 :-) Been messing with it for an hour or so, very impressive. The overlap analytics are cool and the brickwall cut has zero artefacts. I have an organ DI in this track and the player is doing bass lines and chord stabs. I was able to separate those out and duck the bass a db or two on the kick hits and only put reverb on the stabs... very useful!

Each day I like q3 more: funny I had been dissatisfied with digital eq's, but q3 seems just the ticket !

This is insane! I'm already heavily invested in Softube Console 1 and I recently discovered the amazing Sonnox Dynamic EQ, so I'm really covered. If I didn't have the Sonnox then it'd be a no brainer!

Ya Sonnex is pretty sweet and I think also still on sale? I do appreciate the cleaness of FF plugs though.

Thanks for the explanation. It seems a bit to me like how the Newfangled EQuviocate describes their multiband EQ. I own that but haven't really sunk my teeth into learning it yet. Equivocate is pretty cool. It's basically a big graphic EQ but it has a sound to it. I like it for notching out annoying frequencies and maybe some very small boosts on a master. Click that "auto" button above the output meter...

I have honestly never really got on with any of the software eq’s before, but used them, but ff q3, seems to fit me like a glove:)

I’m so excited in just the sheer value this upgrade offers. Sometimes I’d use two de-essers and then an EQ (usually ProQ2) on a vocal. Now I can just use ProQ3. Or doing my bass guitar EQing and helping that one unruly low note not peek out without resorting to weird techniques. Or cymbals in room mics. Or that one freq in twinkly tele riffs.
I’m so happy!

This thing is just so good.
There's a 'trick' folks on the purple site have been talking about and I'm a little floored by it. Find your problem area, create a node and then hold shift when you reduce the gain. The static gain will come down but the dynamic ring around the gain knob will stay locked at unity. The result is some upward expansion just on the transients while the static attenuation stays static. For one reason or another, it results in amazingly transparent sculpting. It sounds like you magically just remove bad resonance. I pulled awkward midrange roominess out of an acoustic guitar track with a huge cut (but the upward expansion dynamically doing its thing) and I couldn't believe how much it improved things.
Try it.

Bought this yesterday and played with it for a while on a stereo mix. Excellent sound quality, interface and features. I definitely will find some uses for this plug-in.
My only wish is to have the option of tweaking the attack/release/ratio parameters of the compression/expansion. It seems to be tuned towards catching transients, which can be great, but sometimes I want the opposite...

It's got attack and release controls.

I thought this would be my one-stop eq, but I’ve found I can really overuse the dynamic eq. It can be a rabbit hole. I still find surfer eq to be the single best problem fixer.

In the instructions they reference being aware of the threshold and the comp/expand is really occurring: easy to over do it !?

How is the dynamic EQ setting on the Pro-Q3 practically different than the Pro-MB? I love the Pro-MB and use it constantly. I'm always a little confused about the different nuances between dynamic EQ and multiband compression/expansion.

I'm always a little confused about the different nuances between dynamic EQ and multiband compression/expansion. It looks like the Pro MB has a lot more parameters per band. And it also I don't think is exactly a "normal EQ" in a general sense that the Pro Q3 is, it's focused on compression and expansion.

I've been considering this EQ. Any more reports from the field?

I've been using it a while. Nice upgrade. Though honestly, not enough parameters on the dynamics of the band to replace something like f6. Which is a shame because it sounds so good. Wish it was a one stop shop.

Yeah - it's my go-to EQ and I use it on Linear Medium on everything. Like achase said, it doesn't really replace something like the Oxford Dynamic EQ for me, but for rudimentary dynamic things I use it. You can't go wrong.
