What Dan does not mention is Pro-Q 2 is twice as CPU efficient as Pro-Q 1 (according to the FF devs).

Interesting but for a hacker like me, seems like it give me more ways to smash up mixes even quicker. No?

Why no price point yet? I know I will receive a discount due to the other things I own but that does not help if you don't know what it is going to sell for. No mention of an upgrade path from Pro-Q 1 either.

No information on pricing yet, but it'll probably be the same as it's been for Pro-Q since day one, 200 bucks. The usual discount structure will apply, so if you've got a bunch of FF plugins already it may run you about a hundred bucks. So as much as my CPU would thank me, I'll have to skip this upgrade for now. But pennies are being dropped into the cookie jar for Christmas. Hopefully, they'll re-run the Christmas sale again this year.
I really expected the next major update would be for Pro-C. They've been promising it for years, it's older than Pro-Q, and it's lacking some features that have become standard for high-end compressors since its introduction.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Working on the assumption that my upgrade price is $100 I'm wondering if I REALLY-REALLY-REALLY need this.
Nope, probably not.

Nobody really NEEDS a Lexus -- we can make do with Hondas and Fords -- but man, just to behold the beautiful styling and appreciate the luxurious features is a real treat unto itself, isn't it?  For those looking for something new in a lower price bracket, here are a few free 32-bit VSTs that are fun to play with and sound good: http://www.jovankoncar.com/j1000/ Cheers, Eddie

with regard to pricing..
FF answered the pricing question yesterday: 50% to 65% discount to upgrade, depending on the products you already own + grace period for those who recently purchased Pro-Q
can't speak what the normal charge is , I'll assume it replaces pro-q's price
if you have them on facebook, you get such info ;-)

I have them on facebook and they did not post the price for Pro-Q 2 even though they have been asked there and on the forum. 50 to 65% does not tell you what your final cost is going to be because it is relative to the info we Don't have yet. The price of Pro-Q 2.

well if it was wrong they would have deleted it, is my guess..  that was off their official FB page which I'm sure they are watching like a hawk currently, much like any software house does with a new release. I'll probably upgrade regardless as i'm UN-impressed with others currently touting upgrades of things I own .e.g. reason.

I will never ever ever ever buy another EQ.
Except this one. Looks too good to pass up.
Another holy cow demo from FabFilter. It's gorgeous and sounds fantastic.

There were some small things that I thought could use an update in what was already my favorite EQ, but this looks like a complete overhaul that did everything I could think of and a bunch of others I didn't even consider. I hope the price is ok, cause I'll definitely be on board.

1. It's a hundred bucks
2. I don't need another EQ
3. Pro-Q 1 does everything I need already
4. MDynamicEQ already does 90% of that stuff
5. It's gonna be a hundred bucks
6. Even if I had an extra hundred bucks, I can think of a dozen other things that would be more useful
This is this morning's mantra.
It's not working.
Damn you, Dan Worrall!

BitFlipper, you're right in the same chorus with me saying I don't need it, I don't want to hear about it, I'll never buy one again.
Except this one is just too good. So it'll be an exception.
