Looking for a way to do a filter sweep effect.. AU? VST?

hey guys, kinda new to VST/s AUs / software based stuff in general,

Im looking for a way to slowly filter out certain freqency bands, and bring em back..

so like the sound would slowly lose it's low-end, making room for another sound to fill the lows out, and once that other sound's done, the lows would fade back in on the original sound.. my guess is this would be a filter sweep, or osmething similar... I have audition & Logic, im on a mac so AU's or VST or another way of doing this within those mentioned softwares would be of help.

cheers

Automating the Logic EQ might be a good place to start. It'll also give you more control over the frequencies, unless you specifically want that filtered sound?

by automating the eq, can you set a sort of 'fade-eq' so that it doesnt EQ immediately?

thanks

Absolutely.

I was doing this last night in Cubase. I had a long delayed sound with a lot of bass going on, and I wanted to slowly EQ the bass out but gradually bring the mids up. It can work really well.

thanks buddy I'm gonna try this out, like I said I'm really new to Logic, so I'll check it out and get back to ya. cheers

No worries.

yeah man! automation is like the computer turning the knob for you.

yeah. not happening tonight. jesus logic scares the sh#t out of me. no idea what's going on when I enter automation screen. ill take a jab at it tomorrow.

hey, maybe watch a tutorial on youtube just so you know what your goal should look like...

also, save.. save.. save.

if your experimentation **** the song up then you load back up to the way it was right before the mistake.

this is only for windows based setting ?

yeah i think this vst is windows only, unfortunately like most freeware

It's probably also worth mentioning the Logic filter(s). The included effects and instruments within Logic are notoriously 'pro' sounding.

I'm not too sure how it works in Logic, but I imagine you can probably do it in real-time the same way as Ableton.

If you record whilst moving various parameters with your mouse/controller it should record them automatically and draw them visually as you go.

As Coz says doing it with an EQ would give you ultimate control and freedom but if you just want to roll off the low end a little higher, a high pass filter would do you just as well.
