Hi

When I open ProQ3 like insert plugins the volume of the track increase around 5/6 dbs. To recover the original level I have to move off the plugin.
I can not find a solution by myself , do you have an idea ?

Could it be you are using the VST2 version of Pro-Q 3 on a mono track in Cubase? There is an issue with the audio routing with the mono VST2 version, where the input is going straight to the output parallel to the signal passing through the EQ. So every EQ move you make is parallel. Solo'ing a band will only solo the signal going through the EQ, but the other signal will be audible as well.

We've reported this issue to Steinberg many times, but since they will abandon VST2 soon I'm afraid they will not fix it. Please use the VST3 version instead, which works as it should. You can recognize the VST3 version by the /// symbol next to its name. Also the VST3 version is simply called "Pro-Q 3", where the VST2 version is called "FabFilter Pro-Q 3".
