How do you split you're frequencies?

Post by Ill Frequencies » Mon May 23, 2011 6:24 am

I have noticed people have a few different ways of splitting up their low, mid and hi frequencies. EQ3, EQ eight, multiband dynamics and I just found this video by Mr.Bill on another way of doing it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOJr_QjjFQA.

I am trying to split my bassline so I can keep the lower frequencies in mono, but I don't know which way would be the best way so that I have a nice clean band of frequencies to work with. Also do you have a specific range of frequencies that you like to work between for each band? Would the low frequencies basically be the sub bass of the track?
Any recommendations would be great! :D

A plug-in that can sum to mono below a set Hz - e.g., http://www.sonalksis.com/stereotools.htm

EQ8 in m/s mode.
set up a hi-pass on the side channel around the 100 mark, should do the trick.

You mean like EQ8 in M/S mode?
