i love negative rep
i finished this recording recently, bridge (it was posted on the mixing clinic)

haveing some problems in the subs, so per a suggestion i decided to be a little lazy about it and go to a finished 24bit 48k version and throw a hi pass on it to see if i could solve it the easy way.

it was slamed to -.3 so i open it in protools, hard pan the l and r tracks and put an eq over the master fader. everything's fine.

when i ran the hi pass, instead of gaining some head room like you'd think i would i start peaking, like 2.5 db. NO GAIN ANYWHARE just a cut.

tried it with a different eq, same result. peaking

what the heck is going on here????

ps. if the eq is in and on it's fine. nothing happens untill i make the cut.

figure that out.
