The IQ-Series EQ V3 offers a dedicated preset function for each band, so you can recall not only the entire plugin but also single filter bands, including their dynamics and sidechain settings.Here\\u2019s how it works:Preset button on the band: Each active filter band has its own \\u201cPreset\\u201d button. A single click opens the preset menu for that specific band.Three options in the submenu:HOFA Presets \\u2013 pre-configured band setups from the HOFA team (e.g. typical de-esser, resonance or vocal cleaning settings)User Presets \\u2013 your own saved band configurations (available as soon as you have created your own presets)From IQ-Analyser \\u2013 if you are using the HOFA IQ-Analyser at the same time, automatically detected or manually marked peaks\\\/dips can be transferred directly and used as a band presetSaving your own setups: Use \\u2018Add Preset\\u2019 to save all the settings for a band as a reusable user preset.This allows you, for example, to save a perfectly tuned de-esser band configuration once and reuse it at any time later.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How can I import frequency values from the IQ-Series Analyser?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The IQ-Series EQ V3 is connected to the HOFA IQ-Series Analyser V2. Marked peaks and dips from the Analyser are automatically saved as band presets in the EQ \\u2013 saving you the trouble of manually entering frequencies.Here\\u2019s how it works:Prerequisite: IQ-Series EQ version 3.7.3 or later and IQ-Series Analyser V2 on the same computerSet markers: In the Analyser, either use Alt+mouse click (the marker snaps to the nearest peak\\\/dip) or the Auto-Marker function, which automatically detects relevant peaks and dipsApply to the EQ: Click the \\u2018Preset\\u2019 button on an active band position and select the desired marker from the \\u2018From IQ-Analyser\\u2019 sub-menu \\u2013 the band is immediately set to this frequencyThis allows you to quickly identify problematic frequencies using the Energy and Peak curves of the IQ-Series Analyser and apply them to the EQ with a single click.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How can I use the IQ-Series EQ as a channel strip?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"With just a few adjustments, the IQ-Series EQ V3 transforms into a fully-fledged high-end channel strip. The key is the \\u2018Flat\\u2019 filter type, which puts a band into full-range mode: instead of processing just one frequency, the dynamics section of this band accesses the entire frequency spectrum and works like a classic compressor (or expander, depending on the ratio).Here\\u2019s how to build a channel strip:Flat filter as a full-range compressor: Set a band to \\u201cFlat\\u201d and define the compression behaviour via Threshold, Ratio (2:1 to 12:1) and, if necessary, Attack\\\/Release.Use other bands as EQ: Bell and Shelves on the remaining bands shape the sound in a classic way.Choose the order carefully: Using drag-and-drop, you can decide whether the full-range compressor acts before or after the EQ bands \\u2013 producing two noticeably different sound results.Combine multiple dynamics stages: Multiple flat bands allow, for example, gentle level control followed by tighter compression or an expander.\"}}]}<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-268c9b51 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"

this single plugin can do. Apart from needing reverbs (which they make and I will write a review for soon) and delays (maybe we can convince them to make an IQ-Series Delay) you could mix and master entire projects with this single plugin and want for nothing. (&#8230;)<br \/>\nSince getting IQ-Series EQ, I\u2019ve pretty much used it on every track that needs any frequency processing, (&#8230;) I hate overhyping anything but this is the most versatile EQ plugin I\u2019ve used in a very long time.<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Everything Recording Rating:<\/strong> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-316 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hofa-plugins.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/05\/50sterne5.png\" alt=\"5 Sterne\" width=\"56\" height=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everything Recording<br \/>\n <a title=\"IQ EQ V3.5  Review Everything Recording November 2013\" href=\"\/en\/plugins\/iq-eq\/review-everything-recording\/\">read the article<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5673838 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5673838\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"loop-item\" data-elementor-id=\"54698\" class=\"elementor elementor-54698 e-loop-item e-loop-item-8224 post-8224 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-feedbacks-en category-iq-eq-en\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\" data-custom-edit-handle=\"1\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83a9c46 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"83a9c46\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc6e2d7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bc6e2d7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e3e8af elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-theme-post-featured-image elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7e3e8af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"theme-post-featured-image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\" src=\"https:\/\/hofa-plugins.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2014\/09\/undertoneaudio.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-3015\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hofa-plugins.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2014\/09\/undertoneaudio.jpg 110w, https:\/\/hofa-plugins.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2014\/09\/undertoneaudio-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 110px) 100vw, 110px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4035e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-theme-post-content\" data-id=\"f4035e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"theme-post-content.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>I cannot say enough how excited I am about the HOFA IQ-Series EQ plugin.\u00a0 I have been mixing and recording out of the box for decades and it has been challenging for me to make the transition to ITB mixing.\u00a0 Mostly because there are a few indispensable tools that have only existed as rack mount devices.\u00a0 For decades I have relied on the BSS 901 mkii Dynamic Equalizer as a sort of &#8220;secret weapon&#8221;
