Dynamic EQ versus multi-band compression

Hi everyone. I picked up the Mastering Bundle and have been working my way through the manuals. It seems to me that the Dynamic EQ feature in Pro-Q3 performs a similar function to Pro-MB, but in a different way. Any thoughts on how to choose which is the best tool for the job here?

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your purchase. Pro-Q 3 and Pro-MB do have similarities for sure in terms of the effect you want to achieve. However, they work on entirely different algorithms. The main difference is that Pro-MB splits the signal into bands while Pro-Q 3 doesn't. With Pro-MB you'll have a lot of flexibility while Pro-Q 3 is better for smaller, surgical adjustments.
