About lowpass and highpass filtering
Being an audio nerd and engineer, this sort of stuff does fascinate me. Came across this article on the interwebs (shouts to Owen Palmer) and wanted to share.
There’s some interesting stuff about how minimum phase filtering affects the decay and amplitude of low frequencies.
Read up! And don’t high/lowpass that master ;-)
Anyways here’s the article! 📝
PS: Plenty of video stuff coming…wait till you see what drops on Tuesday ;-P
PPS: I rarely low/highpass anything!

interesting read. Ive occasionally cut the highs and lows on master thinking it might help based on internet rando advice too. Will be sticking to doing that at the source in the mix from now on
yeah there's these myths that people repeat like mantras… "HP all tracks", "premaster has to be at -6", "you must compress the master" etc while there's not much factual benefit behind it…ppl just repeat them cuz they hear it all so much
sup Fanu! Just signed up and i'm excited to dive in. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You mentioning you rarely low/highpass anything is pretty surprising. What methods do you prefer to achieve similar results?
I mostly use bell EQs for whenever something clashes! So I dont really do the LP and HP thing as it's quite unnecessary and hurts the phase.
"Even though the filter shouldn’t be touching the sine wave, as the cutoff is below the frequency of the sine, it still influences the waveform." That's almost chilling!
I need to do my own research on this once I get a moment!
