Hi all,
I have been working in Ableton Live and found I've really missed the EQ in Sonar's Pro Channel. I was thinking of finally picking up the Pro Q. I can get the Q1 used for about $70, while the Q2 new is $170. I've seen the Q2 used for about $120, so I could wait for that as well.
Is the Q2 worth the extra investment, or is the Q1 awesome enough? :)
 

I think this one would look great floating over the Live GUI:
 


 
and it's a little less than half way in between $70 and $120

Pro-Q2 just adds some nice but noncritical refinements. Pro-Q1 would be just as capable as an equalizer.
 
The advantage of buying Pro-Q2 new is you'd then qualify for discounts on future FabFilter purchases.

I have found that I really enjoy the slope choices, which I use on the lo-cut to tailor the clean, and the Tilt filter is getting a lot of use for general purpose shaping.

thanks guys! It sounds like Sir or Q1 would both be great options and I'll check them out...

Subscribe to the SIR Audio newsletter and get a 25% discount on your purchase (Seems to be good only for a few days though).

That sounds like a great deal - but I can't find a newsletter link...?

Never mind, I found it! :)
 

James,
 When I was speaking about the slope features and the tilt shift I was speaking about Pro-Q 2.
 
 SIR StandardEQ has the slope features but it doesn't have the tilt shift filter. You can easily use a shelf filter and the output gain to replicate a tilt shelf in SIR StandardEQ.

I've got the Tonelux Tilt from Softube, so I think I might have that base covered.
 
thanks Mike!
