Parallel Filter Tricks: Highpass and Lowpass Filters
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In which I finally start to share some of the parallel filter tricks I've alluded to in the past. This episode is on highpass and lowpass filters. And yes I'm a bit croaky in this one, I've had a slight cold, nothing to worry about...

just some dude explaining trivial nonsense that matters nothing. all that matters is making something good. that might mean there are phase issues who ENRICH the mix. If you remove phase issues you end up with this guys terrible sounding boring sound. focusing on trivial stuff like this distracts from the heart and soul of music mixing.

The best part of this channel is that you REALLY will learn something new, damn near each and every video. Now of I only understood what I just watched lol.
I feel like I've learned more from Dan's videos in the span of a few weeks than I have in my several years of mixing without them. What a breath of fresh air. Thanks Dan

As a total beginner at digital music making, your videos are like looking in the abyss and getting your mind twisted by the eldritch abominations that rest there. Maybe one day I will reach your level.

Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed. Terence McKenna

God damn I love your videos. I only have one complaint about your channel: I wish it had like 3x more videos I could watch! :D
Thanks! Fascinating stuff, as always. Greatly appreciate your generous sharing of knowledge - I've learned a lot from your videos and always look forward to the next.
Thank you! Lots of excellent comments as well. I'm looking forward to working with this. It's very generous of you to share it with us.
Thank you for helping me chase my musical dreams - I have thankfully gotten much better and look forward to learning more
I can only imagine the hairs being pulled on audiophiles when hearing they can finally use a filter side chain lmfao Converting people one video at a time 🔥
I've been eating tons of music related infos for 15 years, but never heard about using filters in such a way. Thanks Dan.
Used this methods almost everytime since I discovered parallel filtering two years ago. Great stuff to massage your sounds inside your mix.
As always, best audio tutorials on KZread.
This is probably one of the neatest little tricks I've ever seen on youtube.. nice!

Masterfully presented and beautifully narrated, as always.
Brilliant. I've done variations on this using something like the Waves Abbey Road Saturator in parallel to the mix bus, cut the lows and highs and just bring it in until it becomes obvious, then back it off a bit. Great video.
another banger from Dan the goat
Thanks Dan - And I hope you feel better soon. Looking forward to many more videos Ha ha !
Ahhhhh...Welcome back! We missed This Dan Worrall!!!
Dan, again, thanks a bunch for your video. I am actually using parallel EQ, but now, I will use it more. Can't wait to see the next video. That type of PC never used it. Cheers
I adore the new visualizer, Dan!
Awesome, as usual! Can’t wait for the bandpass video!
As usual, true gem ! Thank Dan !
last time you made a parallel eq video i just thought it was a weird flex, but this time you showed a great usecase. i can see myself making exciter sends like that
love it when Dan drops knowledge bombs and then says "wait..... it gets better"
DAN THE MAN! i've been doing music for 15 years, 12 since it was my job, i've never ever stopped watching tutorials even if it was to see a different point of view because this is a never ending learning art. And i trully and honestly gotta say that i've never came across such good videos as yours. Not only you have great knowledge, but also mastered the way to teach such complicated concepts. You are really born for this man. Thank you so much and love from Madrid!

What a nice and interesting trick. Thanks Dan!!
I was skeptical initially, looking forward to playing with this tonight
Crazy tune Dan, very good tutorial!
Phase issues are so trivial to me. Just use your ear. I never had a problem with phase no matter what crazy FX chain I concocted. If anything the phase "problem" was actually what made the mix spicy. It's all subjective.

Your tuts are incredible and you make this area of music production very interesting and digestible to a noob like me. Mr Worrall for PM!
You are a mountain of wisdom Dan. I am forever thankful for looking into the name I saw mentioned in a fabfilter video years ago. Would love to meet you by coincidence some time.
love the vocals there! and thanks for the video, great info
Parallel high-pass + comp send on vocals does wonders, very radio-like top-end 🤟😁
I do love your vocals and they do fill my hole.
A standard biquad PEQ will have a bandwidth of 1 octave (1 octaves above half the band gain) at Q=1.414 (square root of 2), while Fabfilter equates that to 2. When Q3 has a Q of 1, a standard EQ will be at 0.707. This holds true for the bell type filters, but not for the shelves, which scale very differently (but line up at Q1/Q0.707 again). You were close with the 0.72 approximation, but my OCD prevented me from ignoring that, I'm sorry!

Unbelievable. Thank you so much.
Came for the parallel bandpass tricks, and waiting for next installment! Dope vocals, btw
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Always appreciate it...
I can’t wait for the next episode.
Your one pole curve filled my drum hole. I didnt even realize my drums had a big hole, I thought I was making room for midrange elements and it sounded fine/good. when I use the teased trick at the end I feel as though that hole gets filled and sounds more like you're there with the drums but still doesn't step on other elements. Maybe this is due to compression or saturation; the stereo image is also greatly enhanced. Thanks again for the awesome tricks, can't wait to hear you expound on this super cool method!
what an absolutely amazing video
Dude you make learning music production fun and engaging thank you so much! :)
This why modular analog synths are awesome. Phase errors give it that unique sound.
Hell yeah more Worrall!
Ugh, killing me with that teaser at the end!
Excellent video as always.
I'm your fan Dan! Keep it up! 🔥
The audio oracle blesses us again, awesome...
I use parallel bandpass (Usually LPF + HPF) for my drums in every single mix I do (something like what Thcad Blade does), can't wait to see your approach.
Love it. Good teaser too.
Great tips as always, and a really interesting demo track! With the heavy autotune it sounds like robot Gregorian chant.
Can't wait for the next Installment.
Thank you so so much dan, your my hero
Jeez, this seems like something I should have thought of by now. Soooo useful and elegant to use an EQ send for groups! Thank you! Side note those graphs are Outstandingly Helpful for understanding your concepts!
I’ve watched maybe 30 videos & you finally gain a sub 🥰 hahaha . They’re always good 👍🏻
I had this idea a while ago, saturating and compressing a parallel channel with only the high frequencies. It works wonders on pretty much any dry source! Now I finally know why it works :D

Unfortunately, any saturators I tried in parallel broke and chewed my highs. Aprox. 9 - 15 kHz is a very uncomfortable band for saturation for me.

@@lennartrauhe7194 unplugged instruments (incl. drums - 4 channel recordings mainly) + electric guitars taken from the cabinets without DI + vocals. When recording with my portable equipment I get clean enough sound, but with highly energetic high-end, e.g.: rides from the overhead position. Trying to tame this with the eq is a problem as the eq reduces the level not energy (i.e. the acceleration of high frequencies), taming highs with the saturators chews the highs (slams or turns them into porridge, as I like to say). New native Reaper's antialliasing might help somehow. Shall try soon. However, the trick Dan proposed might be great for properly recorded signals with mild highs.
One of the greatest cliffhangers ever 😩😁👍
As interesting as ever, thanks Dan !
Gonna try this out while i wait for the bandpass video my g!
Thank you for these great ideas sir!
You got around to making it! Yay. And nice singing and lyrics :)
My PerfoModule "Expandurator" Ableton Live Audio Effect Rack uses parallel bandpass trickery to boost a select frequency range. It's delectable!
Really really informative!!
You made my music better man, thankyou so much
That is cool. Great work.
You beat me to it Dan! Theres so much you can do with IIR filters beyond standard EQ. A lot analog EQs actually use parallel bandpass filters in thier designs for each bell/peak.
I used to use parallel band pass a lot and now I'm intrigued as to why it was such a good idea 😂
Good stuff. I'll have to mess with this in my next mixes.
best info...thank you
Amazing to see how you can basically switch between a Baxandall and a Pultec style curve :D
Really liked the low end trick idea, I'm going to give that one a try for sure thanks! Curious to know what natural phase would do, did you test that mode?
Excellent. I’ll try that.
concepts that seem relatively boring in the title become astounding when you explain them dan!

Awesome Dan. I wonder what difference make in the slope of the bell filter in pro q3
I love the Drop by Cytomic for this feature.

At first I thought "I would never do this". Then after one example, I realized I do it all the time. Lol. I just never thought about it quite that way.

Spectacular..
Thank you Dan. :)
The Airwindows LP and HP filters are my go-to for this. I don't know if Chris did something to compensate for the phase issues or if it's just luck/the material I use it on, but I've never had any phase issues with them.
The sum of a lowpass filter and a bandpass filter (multiplied by a specific gain) gets you to a proper low shelving EQ if mixed with the incoming signal. That is why the frequency response looks like the cutoff shifted in ProQ on 0 latency mode (it's not a simple Lp). As an experiment, take an SVF filter (usually this is the filter used in EQs - or in worse case biquads), add the Lp + Bp (multiplied by 1.5), and you get a shelving filter without any dipping. This can be enhanced into 24dB/Oct or any steepness without any issues just by stacking such patches in series and doing a bit of calculation on the mixing gain. This is closest to how this is solved in the analog domain anyways. The algorithm that you find in digital EQs with a nice symmetrical frequency response curve around the cutoff is a bit more complicated in terms of calculations. However, it is still based on calculations of a simple SVF's output ( Shelving = Lp*M^2+Hp*1/M^2+Bp*R*1/M^2 // (where M is the linear boost factor) ). Probably I'm going to make a small video about this since this looks more complicated when written than it is in reality.
Vocals sound great!!
Great video!! Any chance you could do the new pulsar massive passive eq review? Great sounding master eq Thanks
It's Dan worral!! Better break out the good speakers and reference headphones ;-)
I loved the music.
This is absolute sorcery. Wow.
