I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to isolate portions of the eq in order to effect them separately? For example, taking just the high end and running beat repeat on it, or having two tracks playing together and wanting to run ducking compression on just the low end so that the basses don't overpower each other yet avoiding the "sea sick" problem when you compress the whole mix and everything keeps fading in and out (I'm sure you've heard songs that have this issue).
Advice? Ideas?
Thanks!

Re: Isolating portions of the EQ for separate effects?
Sat, October 25, 2008 - 2:08 PMCreate a Group with three EQ 8's. One will be set for hi-pass, one for mid, and one for low pass.
If you are lucky and set it properly it won't fuck with the original signal *too* much, but it will be delicate.
Anyway, each EQ is now on a separate chain and you can apply whatever effects you want from there. -

Re: Isolating portions of the EQ for separate effects?
Fri, October 31, 2008 - 1:39 PMWhere do I want the slope of the EQ to fall? I'm not sure if I'm expressing that correctly...it's not just a straight cutoff, it's a curve down from 0dB to -35dB. Where should those slopes intersect? Right at the top at 0dB? A bit lower down, or what? I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to use the Q settings. Can you (or anyone else) help?
I confess that I've been using the (much maligned) EQ3 just because it's less confusing. -

Sat, November 1, 2008 - 11:53 AMOn the 'high' EQ simply select the first waveform (which is a hi-pass) and move the Freq knob until the slope intersects with 1K. Notice that the Gain (or db) knob isn't even highlighted.
On the 'low' EQ select the last waveform which is low pass and do the same...somewhere around 50K...doesn't really matter.
On the 'mid' EQ select the hi-pass waveform for Dot 4, and the low-pass waveform for Dot 1 and move them together to occupy to spots 'missing' from the other two EQ's.
No gain or db choices necessary.
