This is invaluable for achieving consistent tonal balance across tracks or matching the sonic signature of reference material.
• Refined User Interface:
  • While Pro-Q's interface has always been praised for its clarity, Pro-Q 4 introduces subtle refinements that further enhance workflow. The layout remains intuitive, but with increased visual clarity and responsiveness.
