So, I just got this mixing advice second-hand: "In the meantime, you may want to give him this one piece of advice that helped me immeasurably: If he makes a narrow cut at 330 Hertz in each instrument as well as possibly in the final track it will make them sound better." L |

i'm only replying to this thread to continue my encouragement of you all to follow your instincts and to apply fewer "global rules" to mixing. |

I have one global rule: Keep an open mind. |

I think the guy just hates the E above middle C. I did find this from : http://www.answers.com/topic/frequency I didn't want to quote too much, just the juicy bits. Less melodious, but still certainly tolerable, is an interval known as a third. Three steps up from middle C is E, with a frequency of 330 Hz, yielding a ratio involving higher numbers than that of a fifth?4:5. Again, the higher the numbers involved in the ratio, the less appealing the sound is to the human ear: the combination E-F, with a ratio of 15:16, sounds positively grating. |

Which frequency should i cut if song is in a key of E????Smile))))))))))))))) |

Are you sure that EQ designed without oversampling could handle uper frequencies (above 20k) without artifacts? |

Could you please point exact thread? Currently i don't see how FIR/IIR based filter can solve this design problem. As corresponding FFT transform will have band limited at Fs/2 as i remember, and convolution is just like multiplication in Freq domain. Anyway what will happen with responce in time domain? unpredictable phase rotations, distortions. I will try this in matlab filter design toolbox. Some nastalgy from school times:) And will give plots for phase spectrum and amplitude i i will succeed, for different filter coeficients. |

It's not about FIR/IIR, and it's not convolution. It's about practical implementation. http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/t/16683/2699/ |

Unfortunately on that theread are still not any "practical" implementation. And filters they are talking are "IIR" filters and they are using convolution by the way. Anyway thnks for pointing out interesting subject. I beleve if you don't have Ofxord filters you still don't want to lowpass after each stage of processing? Or maybe somebody have different oppinions? Anyway even idea of lowpassing after having already alisased impact is quite "amateur" to me.(sorry for going there.) Lowpass is done in ADC converters and you should be happy with that. Best regards, Vladislavs |

I wonder if the advice giver mixes in a room with a peak at 330 hz. |
