Hi,

Maybe this subject has already been treated, if so, I'm sorry, and please give me the right topic or url.
I didn't find on my own.

What I do (using ableton) :
- have a nice bass track (wav or synth)
- duplicate it to two bass track... A track is renamed to 'sub', B is called 'upper', I apply a low pass to A, and the opposing hi pass to B.
- and each track get a different bunch of fx...

So I have to do many stuff twice (if I edit notes), and 2 instances of each VSTs prior to LP/HP filter will run (I'm not out of resource, but efficiency is nice)

Is there a way to have some kind of split thing to get 2 FX chains on a single track, splitted by frequency.
On a heavily modulated bass line (aka. "EEEEyayayayyaYAletsscarethecatWOOOOAAAB") it's nice to have a regular low end wich stay clean and compressed, and a bouncy low-medium.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you use Ableton it has effects racks which let you send one track down multiple effects routes. So you could have a rack with different effects chains on starting with filters to split them into different frequencies.

If you aren't on Ableton I don't really know any way of having mutiple routes of processing on just one channel sorry.

Thanks a lot for the so fast and accurate answer. (And I should have found this on my own, feel a bit silly)

I've been doing the same thing as fuz as well... UNTIL NOW! thanks wolf

You can also take the audio effect rack, duplicate 3 times. Then take a multiband dynamics unit on ea channel, single out the output of High, mids, lows.

I would change the FQ its effecting tho because by default lows are cut around.... i think 120hz. Then process as desired. This generally sounds cleaner than manually setting the FQ of different filters.

Linear Phase EQ or your gonna wreck your correlations.

They hide them. Pre-comp eq in most multiband compressors.

Make sure the compressions off and your just splitting freqs.

multi-band bro?

Route one channel completely into two others, have them combine into a fourth channel then have that channel sent to the 2buss.

the "two others" can be split by frequency.

Apply pre-frequency split shit on the first, during frequency shit on the 2nd and 3rd channels and post frequency split shit on the fourth.

No need to edit notes twice or nothing.
