Hey Bourban
A filter is like a super strong eq. But instead of turning only the bass or treble up or down, it removes everything higher or lower than the bass (or the treble).
So you can be listening to a song where you like the bass, but not the guitar, run a filter over it and remove the guitar so you only hear the bass. This is called a low pass filter.
If there's a song with a nice cymbal pattern, you can cut out all the crap that is beneath it so you hear only the hats and cymbals. This is called a hi pass filter.
Easy

is it just me or does filtering suck most of the time for the simple fact that there is always SOME of the other sounds left in the sample. i hate that.....

maybe im not doing it right.

i guess it can only be done with certain samples

 

[Ghetto Lexicon]

well if performed right.. filtering can produce a good ending sound to a drum hit or w.e...

keep in mind that u gotta put the right amount of resonance and cutoff when filtering... also u should eq after if u still dont have the sound that ur lookin for.

i love filtering jazz samples, you can get such a nice mellow sound from it.

- its hard to find a sample that u can actually eliminate instruments, its all about CLEAN samples.. once you do you can filter out vinyl grumble, or harsh clipping from old recordings etc..
or if u deal with techno and shit you use it alot more for alotta things like buildups-which are cool in hiphop too.
"not that ive ever made techno beats or anything i swear!"

 

[Manji]

haha erkl makes techno beats.

*hands erkl a glo stick and extasy pill and an MPC*

 

[9zeros]

hey erkl what do you mean by clean sample?

 

[erkl]

i mean, like something that isnt real busy that you are trying to filter instruments and sounds out of

mmm extacy

 

[Ash Holmz]

food for thought: try using filtering to make completely diffrent sounds from a sample instead of just tryin to eliminate a noise ....
