About lowpass and highpass filtering
Added 2023-05-21 19:37:18 +0000 UTCBeing 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!

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

2023-06-04 10:41:23 +0000 UTCinteresting 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
