Hmm... I'm not a big fan of the 20k lowpass in mastering - seems like no point... frequencies above 20k although not necessarily percieved IMO add to the richness of the track.
Highpass, yes - for headroom and to avoid muddy subs in music that relies on punchiness... but I tend to try and tune it to the fundamental of my bassline, as well as making sure I'm doing it with a linear phase filter.
Yeah... am also big fan of Voxengo stuff, haven't given the elephant a go yet, but will do... 
Also... I wouldn't put the antares tube after the highpass in my mastering chain as the distortion can leave sub artifacts below the initial highpass leading to a more uncontrolled bass end.
Maybe that's what you want, but I personally wouldn't

Yeah… if I really think about it you are definitely right about not putting Antares Tube after the HPF. As undertow states above, first in the chain makes more sense.
As for the 20Khz LPF……… I’ve been informed to use one to prevent ‘Aliasing’.
Can anyone confirm or dismiss theory?

in-human, there is no filter in this world that would prevent aliasing on it's own. Aliasing occurs when resample signal to lower sampling rate. And most resampling tools do the anti-aliasing filtering already, and probably with better accuracy than your stock eq/filter. If you have 44,1khz signal there's no need to filter if you burn it to cd - no resampling is needed. If your signal is 96khz and you want it to be 44,1khz, the tools will do the filtering (sound forge etc).
If signal is resampled to lower sample rate without filtering, no filter will remove the aliasing afterwards because it is mixed/masked in the normal audible frequency range.
In fact, many filters act quite badly in the high frequency range (phase and amp distortion), so I wouldn't use them at all. |
