For our next music tech tutorial, RA's Jono Buchanan offers a straight-forward guide to the world of filters.

only cunts filter

a short video would have taken this to a hole different level...

i'm not sure how you can write an article explaining what filters do without including a single frequency response plot...

btw, EQs *are* filters. there is no difference. "filter" is a fairly generic term; an EQ is usually just a string of certain types of filters (peak or shelf) in series.

double post

It makes me sad you went with a Pioneer mixer in the header-image for this article, instead of a Xone. No contest in filters

Well I liked it anyway, and the metaphors at the start were helpful.

^^ spelling would have taken your post to a whole different level

Thanks for the article Jono. I found some of the metaphors and explanations quite helpful too.

You have obviously never synthesized anything, you'd get nowhere without filters.

Also, they serve a different purpose to EQs when djing as the cut-off point is continuous and not fixed like an EQ, allowing for greater flexibility while layering tracks.

I just really wanted to thank you for these tutorials, I for one get a lot out of them.

Thanks!! #learning

thanks for the tutorial

Agreed, they're really simple, but that's what's great about them for me. This should be a more regular feature!

Thanks

thanks!
