Acid head... I agree with ya for stuff bellow 20hz... but not bellow 50-40hz...

And I'm sorry 2 insist but a cut filter removes everything (of course u have 2 account 4 the pole order) while a shelving removes a constant x db bellow (or above) the cut off!.. so althoug u might not ear much difference there is quite some!



U said...

"...also - i high pass filter that removes low frequencies is very similar to a low shelf eq if you dont add any resonance ..."


Like I said above as far as I know the only why for them 2 b similar is if u use a High amount of shelving... still on a powerfull PA there will b a difference... BUT I AM ALWAYS KEEN ON LEARNING so please elaborate and teach me where I'm wrong (I'm not being a smart as* by the way... if in fact u r right just explain so I correct my wrong ... :) )




I go even further... I use a bell cut of 16 db around 50 hz... most systems don't reproduce bellow 40hz (if even that much) so u end up with a much defined punchyer, louder mix... also u can make it a little beefier with a touch of maxxbass... in fact u can even pump the 60-80 range while doing the above trick ... just b sensible and u'd have a bad as* bass...

Why don't I use a high pass 2 do the same .. cause the bass sounds hollow and metalic! :(
