More than that, it is recommended to look into re-recording the affected track as over-EQ could introduce some artifacts. Although in some scientific filters you need to set the “order”, which is the measure of steepness of the frequency attenuation Summaryġ.) A low shelf filter operates similarly with a high pass filter in cutting mode.Ģ.) A high shelf filter operates similarly with a low pass filter in cutting mode.ģ.) A high pass filter is not the same as the low shelf filter because low shelf filters can be used in boosting signals while a high pass filter is limited only to attenuation.Ĥ.) A low pass filter is not the same as a high shelf filter because low pass filter cannot be used to boost signals unlike a high shelf filter.įor best results, you might want to cut not more than -12dB on shelving filters. So if you are going to use high pass/low pass filters, you need to set one important value and that is just be the “cut off frequency”. One important distinction of high pass and low pass filters with the rest of the filters (like parametric equalizers) is the absence of Q in the settings.
HPF can be applied to vocals, guitars and other string instruments to avoid mud with the bass guitar or bass frequencies. I commonly use this filter during mixing but not so much in the mastering process.
The mixing engineer can use a high pass filter on kick drums to cut its lower bass spectrum in favor of the bass guitar. In rock music, bass guitar commonly occupies the bottom subwoofer frequencies while the kick drum is above the bass guitar. But high pass filter drastically reduces the signals below the cutoff as compared to a low shelf filter.A common implementation is when mixing bass guitar vs kick drums. As you have noticed, high pass filter operates similarly to the “cutting” mode of a low shelf filter.
