High pass Filters (HPF) in music production, do's and don'ts This presentation aims to bring a thorough insight on the use of high pass filters in music production. WHich type, slope, and frequency settings could be more desirable for a given source or application? Are HPF in microphones and preamps the same? Do they serve the same purpose? is there any rule on when to use one, the other or both? furthermore, HPF is also used extensively in the mixing and processing of audio signals. HPF is commonly applied in the sidechain signal on dynamic processors (EG: buss compressors) and of course in all multiband processing. what are the benefits of this practice? Live sound reinforcement, different approaches on the use of HPF. Different genres call for different production techniques, understanding the basics of this simple albeit important signal filtering process helps in the conscious implementation.
