Low cut behaviour in Pro Q 4
Hi!
You changed the behaviour of creating low cut in Pro Q 4 when compared to Pro Q 3.
Most of the GUI is now used for low shelf, but there already was a way to create low shelf with one click - by dragging from the unity line.
Before in Pro Q 3, you could create a low cut quite near the unity line and the node was created near where you clicked.
Now you have to click in the corner below and the node is create far from the last mouse position. So taking control of the node is more cumbersome.
There are now two ways to create shelf in Pro Q 4 with one click and a more complicated one to create low cut.
Is there a way to introduce legacy behaviour. I already have muscle memory for this.

OK, i just realized I can create the low cut by dragging from the unity line.
....and actually, if you click really close to unity, you still get low cut like before.
Sorry for spam.
Hi Andres,
We have fine-tuned the creation of new bands with the release of Pro-Q 4. It might take some time to get used to, but in the end you'll get faster with these new improvements.
Is there any way to customize this behaviour or change it back to Q3 behaviour?
I understand that with the fine-tuning now more options are available but i still prefer the old way of Q3 because it is easier and faster (not so much mouse movement needed and with the new behaviour the "control window" gets in the way from time to time). I pretty much never use low shelf but pretty much always use low cuts so the new behaviour feels pretty frustrating for me.
i just tested more extensively and maybe i really just need some time to get used to it - it just felt more intuitive and easier with Q3. One feature request/suggestion: it would be cool if double click would show alternative behaviour to one-click and always create cuts. (like high cut in the upper half, low cut in the lower half). option or shift click would work too but double click seems the easiest and fastest from a user perspective.
