FabFilter ProQ preset/setting imported to ProQ3
I've use the FF ProQ for a long time, and today bought the ProQ3. Tried to dopy a setting and paste it in Q3 without luck. Tried "save-as" and the open that preset in Q3 .. didn't work. How do I get all my settings from tons of ProQ's on the album I'm working on now, to be imported into th new Q3??
I manually wrote all setting from one into the new, and it sounded ace - so much better, os I definitely want to use the Q3, but can't imagine to do it manually with so many channels and tracks - hope you can sort it out :-)

Hi Søren,
There's unfortunately no way to automatically upgrade Pro-Q 2 to Pro-Q 3 in a session. We recommend one of these approaches:
1. Keep using Pro-Q 2 for existing sessions for 100% compatibility.
2. Manually replace each Pro-Q 2 instance by Pro-Q 3. You can save the Pro-Q 2 setting in a preset (using the presets menu inside the plugin). Then in Pro-Q 3, load it via the "V2 Presets Folder" submenu. Unfortunately any automation will have to be recreated.
I've written more about this in this forum topic:
