Replacing Pro Q3 with Q4 with the push of a button- Wish
So in ableton there are some native plugins where you have a button up to the right saying „Upgrade“ which upgrades the plugin to the newer version available from within the plugin, in 1 second with the push of one single button.
I would love love love a button in Pro Q3 where it says „Make to Q4“ and Q3 becomes Q4 and takes over all settings currently set in the instance of Q3 that you want to convert to Q4
Hope everyone understands me. Lost the thought train for a second

I was under the impression the "NEW" Pro Q3 was upgraded to allow that, but for the life of me, cannot figure out how to do the cut-and-paste as advertised...
Cannot find it anywhere on the FabFilter site...
Hmm i havent seen what you mean.
However the way for now is,
Save preset of Q3 and open it with Q4 (preset browser shows Q3 presets as option) but it only works if you use vst3 (OR au?). One of the two but cant remember which one, only one format works reliably for now
It's not possible to update Pro-Q 3 instances to v4 automatically. However, you can copy the settings of Pro-Q 3 in the latest version and paste it in Pro-Q 4.
My friend Tristan made a Soundflow macro for this and it's free!
