High Pass Filter On Bass

[karmine]

Just a quick tip I found, high bass your bass at around 45 or 50 hz (unless you really do have some crazy 33hz tones that are intentionally in there). Really cleans things up a LOT.

thanks for the tip but this is fairly common knowledge

[karmine]

haha, and yes that was ment to be high pass filter, not low pass.

What is the difference between doing a high pass filter or a high pass EQ on the same frequency ranges?

difference between EQing and filtering isn't much really, they're basically the same thing

[karmine]

filters are more agressive and definate, EQ's are more subtle, usually.

good tip but i love that 40hz bass, so i cut below thirty-thrityfive ish.

that's more to do with how they're used I thought, generally if you want subtle you go for EQ and if you want complete cuts you go for filters but I don't think that's because they work differently if you really wanted you could do it the other way around

30 hz here

why would you want to cut out so much beef from your sub? highpass at 30 at the absolute highest surely?

because 90% of rigs and human sound it's wasted on
just pushing 20hz out of a subwoofer research what the cone size has to be

Hahahaha!


But yeah I usually chop it at the 30 mark.

it seemed counter productive to me as well, but im liking the results so far, still gives you plenty nuff bass to to work with and hits you in all the right places while keeping things really tight and comprehendable.
