Updates for Pro-MB and Pro-Q

That's good news. I hope you enjoy Q2 Dave.
 
I've gotten spoiled by it, especially the steep low cut slopes.
 
The sale on Pro-MB is only 5% off the you-already-have-a-bundle price. One of these days I'm going to snap it up. 

Yea, the new full screen GUI for the MB is wonderful.... Now trying to save up for the Desser.  It's awesome! 

For Pro-MB, yes. MDynamicEQ does the same stuff and is less-expensive than Pro-MB, as low as $42 during the previous sales. I also find it quicker and easier to dial in than Pro-MB, which is surprising given FabFilter's beautiful GUIs versus Melda's homely UIs.
 
Pro-Q is another story. With version 2, Pro-Q now has a couple tricks that nobody else does. You can't beat it for fast EQing, and it's light enough on the CPU that you can drop it onto every track if you want to. For straight-up static EQ, Pro-Q remains my go-to equalizer. But for problem tracks, and for vocals and bass, it's MDynamicEQ. 
 
Pro-Q ain't magic. It's just another equalizer and no better at the job than any other quality EQ. What distinguishes it is ergonomics and efficiency. Sound-wise, Pro-Q and MDynamicEQ are equals.

You'd think, with a name like FabFilter, that they might have some inside track on what makes a good filter. Well, they do, but it's not proprietary knowledge. Lots of other people know how to make good filters, too.
 
What makes Pro-Q special is its user interface. It takes very little time to get the hang of it, and once you do you'll find that dialing in EQ can be much faster than with a less-ergonomic equalizer. But that ugly old-style EQ with just knobs and guess-where-you-are frequency markings might ultimately sound just as good with enough twiddling.
