Hey folks.
 
You may recognize me as the only guy on here who can't use his Pro Channel EQ. (I get freezes and drop outs when sweeping frequencies.) Many have tried to fix it - but I have had to accept that for some reason, it just won't work.
 
So, I plan to purchase a very similar looking EQ - 'Fabfilter Pro Q' and wanted to know if anyone on here uses it in Sonar and whether you know of any issues? Or simply whether you think it's any good?
 
Here's a nice video of it - I think it looks great, and pretty similar to the Pro Channel EQ.

Happy New Year to you all,

Dave... Its your drivers or your firmware! :)

LOL, Alex you kill me.
 
I love that video! Showing "real-world" mixing application was awesome.
 
I have never used the Fabfilter Pro Q, so cannot speak to it in any way, but opened the page for it and had sticker shock immediately. Recently I have been more on a quest to minimize the numbers of plug-ins I will need to get the job done and got suckered in by the iZotope Studio Bundle deal. I have never used iZotope before so gave them a run for the money on the 10-day trial and each of the three plug-ins has a pretty nice EQ built in. I now need to see if how the guy did it in that video can be done similarly with these guys... I am already committed to my choice.

Too late I posted on your other thread... ;)

Pro-Q is awesome, and works great with Sonar.

Alex - What can I do if I already have the most up to date drivers?! You imply that I haven't tried everything! The glitching happens even when I take out my sound card and run through the on-board sound.
I've downloaded the Fabfilter Pro Q demo version - it works like a DREAM.
SURELY, after everything I've tried, this shows that the problem is the Pro Channel EQ. It shows that my set up CAN handle frequency sweeping like it should.
It looks like I will be staying with the fab filter.
But Alex - I appreciate all of your help. I wish you could literally come to my house and sit at my PC and have a go at nailing my issue!
 
Clintmartin - Fabfilter, on first impressions, is great! So much control. I love being able to double click a new node in. I think it doesn't sound as natural as the Pro Channel EQ, though it still sounds great, but I mainly make electronic music which shouldn't be an issue.
 
Mettelus: Yeah it's a nice video - I actually learned a couple of bits from it.

Did you see the other thread? Nope I didn't talk about drivers. But we could continue to talk about the other thread from here if you like :)

I just walked through that video with a set of stems I downloaded from a remix contest someone posted last week, and a nice advantage shown in that video that I cannot do is specifically tailoring frequencies to pans. That ability is rather slick with the Pro Q, I must admit.
 
Edit: Ozone 5 does have the Mid/Side capability, sorry for the misinformation.

I have Pro Q and love it.
