Really Good Lowpass Filter?

Any recommendation?
VST plugin would be nice.

Logic has one of the best Low Pass Filters I have ever used

the mpc's lpf is more than capable for bass. send your bass to a seperate channel on the desk and eq.

A good software lowpass......Ha Ha
The MPC's lowpass are good ......Ha Ha.
Now on a more serious note.
It really depends on what you are planning to do with the filter.
Most software filters as well as the MPC filters work well for more simplistic things like fattening or rounding off bass.
If you are talking about more dramamtic type uses then you want hardware.
Lots of choices, lots of price differences, and they all have different character.
Some nice choices are:
Sherman Filterbank, Mini-Moog, Mutator, Filter Factory, SH-09,

Just a thought....... I haven't actually tried it...
But Arturia's Minimoog softsynth also installs a separate efx section that you can use as an insert. I bet the lowpass on that is a lot better than the mpc's.

And .....Ha Ha.
PSP Nitro will put most hardware filters to shame. (but you need a pretty serious computer to run it).

The real prob with the plug-in way is that unless you are using good A-D and D-A you can't really hear what's going on or not lose the signal you started out with.
I don't care how fast your system is, if the hardware isn't up to the job the results will be ok, but not of a pro quality.
Also while the PSP product line is usable it is what it is.
Definitely not hardware but better than most software.
The stuff from DUY and McDSP is much better but hits your pocket a lot harder.

True, true....

But Zaster asked if there was a vst worth trying, and there is.
I'm sure DUY is pretty good, and i know McDSP is, but neither are available in vst format.
On top of that, he probably does his recording on a computer already anyway, so the A/D issue is not really relevant.

Actually on the computer the converters are the main aspect.
It's the path your sound takes.
I see your point about the VST thang tho.
DUY has VST versions.

You're not understanding me.
I'm saying if he already records to a pc, it won't matter if he inserts a vst or hardware box. The signal still has to be converted as some point.

I just read this one in a magazine: A sherman filterbank in vst for windows. For free!

Na, ieism I understand you and I'm cool with what you are saying. My point is that if you are using a cheap interface to record through the plug-in is working with sh*t to begin with and you get caught up in that fix it in the mix type stuff.
You want to get the best signal into the computer so the plug-in stands a chance.
I run into people all the time who tell me things like how go Cubase SX is and they are using a cheap interface with it.

Anyway lets not take this away from his needs.
Zaster it might help if you said what you are using or trying to do.

thanks binger

ok then, the frostwave resonator.. hands down.
