Pro-Q Higher Latency,better sound?

Hi.
Is it true, that the sound is getting better when I change to a higher latency mode? If so, I would like to have the option to set all pro-Qs on one click. So I can produce and mix in low latency mode, and before bouncing,I change to maximum.
Thanks.

Hi,

This is not necessarily the case: high latency mode might increase the amount of pre-ring that you're hearing, especially when you're doing lots of low-frequency manipulation.

We'll consider a way to switch multiple Pro-Q instances at once though.

Cheers,

I've noticed when using Pro-Q linear phase mode that for doing low cuts using HPF, the 'High Latency' seems to sound best and shows the least amount of artifacts, much better than Maximum latency setting.

High Latency seems to offer the best quality in this instance.
