I wanted to listen to how the filters performed when sweeping back and forth. I set up an Max for Live LFO device to sweep two instances of Pro-Q3, each with a LPF using the same parameters. My test consisted of my ears at first then a null-test to confirm what I was hearing. It is indeed 0 samples latency per Ableton Live's reporting. The point of my post is that I decided to see if I could hear the differences between Zero, Natural Phase, and Linear Phase. (I think Alloy 2's EQ may be more 'powerful' and sound better, but that's besides the point). I always knew Linear Phase was preferred in mastering but never heard about the Natural Phase, nor considered it in my mixes. I've owned Pro-Q2 and Pro-Q3 for a couple of years now, and I guess I never looked into the Natural Phase vs. Sounds like natural phase is better in every aspect? Im assuming there is just a small chance at latency which is the only draw back? Which is the only reason zero latency is the 'goto' setting?Р”Вead-thread redemption, now with added news you can use! We've also compared this with standard digital EQ'ing, like most DAWs implement in their factory EQ plug-ins.' To illustrate the difference between the two modes, we've plotted both magnitude and phase response of a Bell filter at 15 kHz, and So it delivers the most accurate frequency response and best sound quality, evenР”Р„t the lowest frequencies and highest Q settings, without introducing noticable pre-ring or long latency! It not only perfectly matches magnitude response of analog EQ'ing, butР”Р„lso closely matches the analog phase response. Pro-Q 2's unique Natural Phase mode performs even better.

It is Pro-Q 2's most effecient processing mode, and absolutely sufficient for most applications. In Zero Latency mode, Pro-Q 2 matches the magnitude response of analog EQ'ing as closely as possible, obviously without

Forget about Linear phase for a second, Im more curious why (based on what the manual says) you would ever pick Zero latency over Natural phase?
