low cut filter on mixer strip?come on gotta be kidding me ds. first wasp will be breed into the mixer. you know where you have those special 3d glasses and you suddenly see a whole new world! then vocoder and etc will follow
low cut filter on mixer strip?I don't know why Rich did the Vocoder as DX? But would be nice to sequester it as a VST onto the OP FX List/Other one of these days.
low cut filter on mixer strip?I don't see the point. I certainly don't understand why you would use it on almost every track. Very few sounds would have so much bass content that you couldn't effectively EQ it away. I do tend to do that quite a bit - turn the Low EQ all the way down. After all, it is basically a low-cut filter anyway.

low cut filter on mixer strip?I use the lowcut on almost every channel (including send busses). Would make sense to include it in the mixer.

low cut filter on mixer strip?wow i am surprised that you asked that question! if you dont use it you should, it makes your mix cleaner. almost all sounds have low-mid/mid content , as you add them up they begin to cloud the mix. Low Shelf Eq is not the same as Low Cut filter. The shelf is at 80hz and the Q value seems to remove around 80hz because the output of both those sound different. Whereas in the Low Cut filter you can get it to remove everything below 80hz and beyond till the end of the other side of the spectrum, quickly and effectively.

low cut filter on mixer strip?It helps to get rid of some of the mud and preserves headroom in the low end. It's an essential mixing tool!

Got this advice from Andi Vax's 'Mixing Secrets', to name one source out of many. http://www.andivax.com/index.php?option ... s&Itemid=1 You are of course correct, that using an EQ and truning the low end all the way down is basically the same thing. However, I often only use the onboard EQ, and the low shelf is not selectable. I don't always want the lows rolled off at the same point. Even some (not all) HHat samples have some undesired low-end that coud be caused by a number of factors, and cutting these out can make things sound crisper...... and for that, you're cutting much higher than 80hz.

low cut filter on mixer strip?
well that is what i was trying to say
low cut filter on mixer strip?+ 1 for a 12 24 36 48dB/oct low cut on each channel.
I can do it on the bus but I do it on each channel due to diffrent settings. Orion 8, Live 8Le, Cubase 4 LE, Cantana, APC40, UC16, Fostex PM1MKII, Q9550, 4G0, 1,5T, 22"+15"

low cut filter on mixer strip?hell yeah, i love to have it on the mixer too, it totally makes sense as its a basic mixing tool wich makes sense on almost every chanel PLZ rich, consider this one
inserting it every time u open a chanel is certanly a way to go but haveing it strait on the mixer would speed up things very effectively
low cut filter on mixer strip?I'm all for it, I use it on almost every channel as well!

I do use it, on every song, but only on those channels where it is appropriate. Usually it is on basslines, to keep them out of the way of the kick, or vice versa [on the kick]. In any event, I am after a full mix, not a clean one. If I wanted a clean mix, I'd run every channel through it's own band-pass filter to keep teh top end as clean as the bottom.
Not often to the point where it becomes an issue that cannot be solved by EQ. That is, in fact, one of the main uses for EQ and it's why pro engineers/producers will tell you that you should always cut, never boost, your EQ. [I do not subscribe to this theory.]
OK, let's clear this up. A shelf filter does not have a bandwidth [Q], which is why the high and low are shelf filters - they filter everything above/below the threshold frequency. The Low Shelf in the EQ section is a Low Cut filter, it just has boost as well as cut. And if 80Hz isn;t the sweet spot, the Lower Mid goes down to 45Hz, although it does have a set bandwidth.
Who the hell is Andi Vax? He looks around 12 years old and seems to have been doing this for about a month. I've been doing it for 28 years and I learned much of what I know from people with even more experience. This looks like the kind of wrong-headed garbage you read in Computer Music from time to time from people who have made something work for them in a very specific situation, which is then quoted as gospel for every kind of situation by ignorant fools on forums like this. If Andi Vax uses a Low Cut filter on every track, it is very likely because whatever software he is using does not have EQ like ours and a Low Cut filter is much easier than full parametric EQ for a simple task.
So use the Lower Mid as well. When that doesn't work, you can always add a Low Cut filter. Having one there all the time, whether you need it or not, is stupid. In fact, a far better solution would be one extra knob in the EQ section to adjust the Low Shelf's cutoff frequency, but I don;t even see the neccessity of that.
Which is precisely why the EQ has four fucking bands with 20dB of gain reduction.
See, this is the other problem. Once we have a Low Cut, people will want a Band Pass and High Cut filter too, with switches for slope and all the rest of it. So we end up with a mixer that won't fit on a 1280x1024 screen because it has so many knobs and switches on it.
It makes very little sense at all, as their is already one low-shelf filter in the EQ section, which can both cut and boost. If you are using the Low Cut Filter effect on every track, it is because you want to, not because it is in any way, shape or form necessary. You guys all need to understand just how much better off you are than users of any other DAW application. We have a proper mixer with brilliant EQ, which means we can work like Bob Clearmountain or Andy Wallace do in a real studio. That makes the advice of some spotty moron with a dance anthem in the charts almost completely useless, because he does everything on a spreadsheet style application that throws obstacles in his path at every point in the process.
