I guess I'm the only one responding here, but thank you for this video. I've been thinking about HPF for my bass setup. You answered a few questions I had and made me hit up my engineer brother out of state. lol
rolling off the low end is peaking the frequency, anything before and after that frequency will have a slope up.. hpf is shelving the frequency below the set frequency, explained around 3:55
@@jacksonsjackedupbass2741 some bass compressor comes with an HPF, like the Empress. the lower you set the HPF, the higher the compressor reacts to the low frequency, which you don't want to happen coz it will affect/compress the rest of the frequencies. If you attenuate the lower frequencies of an EQ, say 100hz, the frequencies before and after 100hz will not be attenuated. If you picture the 100hz, it will look like a valley and the peaks are 90 and 110. If you set the HPF at 100hz, frequencies below it will be slope down or even look like a cliff.
Same…. otherwise it’ll come out muddy. High pass the guitar around 100hZ and bass at 60hZ and you’ll sound damn heavy! Plus, you can crank the bass higher in the mix giving you more bottom end.
@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos Not only that, it's going to be a lot more pronounced and articulate in the top end getting that lovely metal grind in the bass.
Playing starts at 10:57
hihih
don't ya just hate someone who explains something but never actually demonstrates anything.. is his playing really that bad? lol
Why are you holding a bass?
Are you saying there are overtones lower than the fundamental? That seems contrary to my understanding of overtones. I’d love more info on this
Is this video been recorded on an areoplane?

How is this different from rolling off the low end on an EQ?

@@jmwreck how is it any different than just using a bass compressor?

Lots of rambling and no sonic examples. This could have been a 2 minute video.
30 fucking seconds tops.
Thank you for the explanation that even I can understand!
What about metal bands using dropped tunings as low as G#

Cool
Really? You fucking talked through the whole thing without playing an example?
😴
This clip is a great cure for insomnia, but you didn't really say much that isn't common sense. Or show us any examples.
