But hey, classic left-right can be just as powerful because it allows you to add stereo differences to any sound by simple EQ-ing the left and right side differently. These days, I feel like mid-side gets all the attention. My favorite example of this? Just boost the low end of your kick in key with your track for a classic 'professor move.' #5 Stereoize This is super helpful because it allows you to add or remove frequencies in relation to the key of the track. The most obvious benefit of turning on Piano Display in Fab Filter Pro-Q2, is now that every time you create a point or a node in the EQ spectrum, it tells you EXACTLY what frequency you are working. When combined with frequency sweeping + using your ears, spectrum grab mode is an extremely useful and time-saving tool. Spectrum grab mode allows you to grab at those obvious, alarming peaks and harsh frequencies in your EQ spectrum by simply hovering over the analyzer. For creativity, because it has a beautiful graphic interface (and it get's you in the f*cking creative zone).For accuracy, because any detailed EQ work will be easier in full-screen mode.#2 Full Screen Modeĭid you know you can use Pro-Q2 in full-screen mode? Sure, it's a pretty simple and straightforward feature of Pro-Q2, but a lot of producers aren't aware of it. And this is huge because our ears love to trick ourselves into thinking that pretty much anything louder is going to sound better (which is definitely not the case). This allows you to be able to hear ONLY the added coloration. Which means that it actually removes the volume addition when you're adding frequencies. What does the autogain feature do? Well, it automatically compensates for an increase or decrease in gain when adding frequencies. So, let's listen to that DaVinci quote from up top and keep things super simple. Less is almost always more - even in the case of plugins. It's just that classic expression, right? It's not about the tools that you have, it's about knowing how to use them. It's very easy to get caught up in every new plugin under the sun, but in reality, knowing just a few plugins inside and out is drastically more effective for you when it comes to making strides with your music. The purpose of this video isn't to show off the bells and whistles of Pro-Q2, but rather to show what you are capable of as a producer when you get to know a plugin really well.
