Whatsup guys,
I understand the concept of splitting frequencies from lows mids and highs, but how exactly do you got about doing that in ableton. Do i use a certain type of eq or do i send it to different channels and eq each one individually,
thanks guys

Ableton Live Tutorial - Splitting Frequencies

Did you try both methods you just mentioned - because one of them would give you the desired results you're after.

you do that, but instead of using an eq, you use a multiband compressor. most eqs are not linear-phase, so when you try and re-combine your channels you get weird phase issues (basically, it doesn't sound quite right from frequencies cancelling each other out i believe). use a multiband compressor on each of your channels and just put the corresponding bands on either bypass or mute.

Holy shit... this is an awesome idea!!!

i can't take credit for it man i just know that from reading these forums way too much haha

but after trying eq vs multiband compressor the difference was clear to me even using cheap cans/speakers

de la mancha has a free frequency splitter vst called fr33some.

So what (reasonably priced) multi-band compressor you guys recommend ?
