AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFabFilter Pro-Q 3 ships with native Apple Silicon support. To upgrade from the Intel build under Rosetta to the native version, download the latest installer directly from FabFilter's website or use the FabFilter installer if you have it installed. The native build will be automatically served on Apple Silicon Macs; simply install it over your existing copy. Your plugin presets, settings, and DAW integrations will carry over without requiring manual migration. After updating, you will see immediate performance improvements and longer battery life when running on M-series Macs, as the plugin will no longer need Rosetta 2 translation.
