Hi all, I have a very annoying behaviour here on N7.1.20
I was hearing strange things on a mix while tweaking Pre Filters (HC & LC) so I decided I had to test this with a pink noise generator :
REPRO :
- create one audio track routed to stereo out, insert test tone generator set to pink noise
- On the stereo out track (you can’t do this on the audio track itself for the pre filters are pre-insert), set the HC filter to lets say 6 KHz and 6 dB/Oct (something very audible)
- Just turn ON the LC Filter hitting the power button of the LC (default is 20 Hz 24 dB/Oct)
- Your HC is screwed (you can hear a lot more high frequency content but it is definitely not like if it was turned off
- Turn OFF LC and your HC is back to normal
Can anyone confirm this please ?
- Now even stranger, instead of turning LC ON with it’s power button, you can just click and drag the frequency slider of the LC lets say you drag it to 130 Hz (LC becomes active automatically)
- Your HC stays normal
- Turn OFF and ON again the LC (frequency stays at 130 Hz)
- Your HC is screwed once again
So, the workaround seems to be to NEVER activate a LC with it’s power switch
BUT and this is the worst part so far
- If you use a 6 dB/Oct setting on le LC it screws up your HC no matter what
- The only way to have your HC working normally again is to turn OFF the LC either with it’s power button, or by draging the frequency back to under 20 Hz (which switches it off automatically)
EDIT : This only seems to be the case with a 6 dB/Oct setting on the HC Filter, I can’t seem to reproduce any of this with other slope values on the HC, so my workaround ATM is to STAY AWAY from the 6 dB/Oct slope on the HC filters !
Best regards
