radio shack probably aren't the best cables around, but you may or may not notice a difference from switching. don't be suckered into buying Monster or any other super overpriced cables. read this: http://sound.westhost.com/cables.htm

no. moving to 24 bits allows things be SOFTER, not louder. although what this means is you can track at a lower volume, normalize it, and you haven't lost any resolution compared to 16-bit. just turn down the gain, or track with a compressor/limiter.

Just because it isn't black magic doesn't mean you can't use it as a multiband compressor. Or, there is also another way to do multiband compression, if you want to. If you apply "Dynamics Processing" to a track in Multitrack view, and then go look at its properties, there is a "Band Limiting"...

Sure, I'd trust the splitter. I don't mean to come across as saying it's useless, or anything close to that. But the first few things people were saying about it were hailing this feature as a miracle, leaps and bounds beyond any high or low pass filters' wildest dreams. In fact, the two are...

If that's the case, then the track was filtered twice .... of COURSE more lows freqs were gone afterwards! "There was stuff in both ranges which was easy to hear" .... this was my point with the 440hz tone demonstration. When you listen to these ranges, you are hearing predominantly the...

i just re-read your post --- did you mean that you "split" the track after you had applied the butterworth to it?

Fair enough. I just wanted to make sure it was clear that the frequency splitter isn't magic, and it doesn't actually "split" one file into many -- it is just an automated series of filters, though it may or may not have documented the exact process it uses.

don't waste your money on 192

Cheater!!

I'll be interested to hear about that. 6th Order or so should make for a damn clear cutoff.

cooledit offers them. Effects .... Filters .... Scientific Filters

if you want real control over the slope of your high or low pass filter, use a high-order Butterworth, which you can find in the "scientific filter" menu. not to suggest that it would necessarily be any better than the Frequency Splitter's "magic." just to say it wouldn't be any worse.

Ok, so which of those ranges should I delete if i want to get rid of that 440hz tone? 400-600? Whichever you get rid of, you'd still hear it. I don't doubt it has a steeper slope than whichever filter you were using before. But it is still far from "scrupulously empty of what you don't want."

I'm not ignoring anything. Yes, you end up with 8 separate files. But that does not mean that the cutoffs are any more precise. It is not like teh computer goes bit-by-bit through the file and says "ok, this bit goes to the 400-600hz file, and that one goes to the 800-1000hz file." It applies...

Don't mean to burst your bubble, because the frequency splitter is indeed a very cool and useful tool. But how do you think CoolEdit splits the track in the first place? Answer: by using the very same high- and low-pass filters that you can use elsewhere. Go into "Edit View" for one of the...

yes, harmonics only exist above the fundamental frequency. but that does not mean that when you sing at 220 Hz, you won't see any frequency content below it. we only speak of harmonics in reference to some fundamental. with a flute or recorder, this may actually be a good approximation of the...

and filters are not exact (yes, even on precious digital editors). a high-shelf is more like a high-plateau. frequencies near the cutoff are not attenuated as much as frequencies far below it.

in any finite signal, there will be some frequency content at ALL frequencies, not just the fundamental that you were aiming for. but i'd be curious .... are you using a shockmount? and yes, the human voice has a ton of harmonics and overtones. what you are probably hearing is the difference...

i have yorkville ysm-1s, with a hafler TA1600 amp. a couple of years ago i built a pair of 3-way hi-fi loudspeakers. it was a fun project, but i ended up spending far more time and money on it than i anticipated. in the end, though, they did sound pretty hot. with 12" NHT1259 woofers, they have...
