i have this lead in my track.
i want to increase the filter gradually all the way up. A good example would be Talamasca - Psychedelic Knights at the end of the track. But when i increase the filter more than half way the sound becomes thiner and thiner. So how can i get this to work??
I use Nordlead 2 by the way. |

I don't know about the talamasca track, but ask yourself if you want the filter on the oscilator or on the whole synth sound?
The filters on the nord come after the oscilators, which shapes the oscilator waves. You can also use a plugin filter on the recorded nord sequence, which will mainly shape the frequencies of the recording and will give totally another effect sound.
If you prefer the first way, the sound becomes thinner - that's a limitation and I adivce you to work on the sound more maybe - to make it less thinner.

You can use a compressor after(!) the filter. That way the level of the loud part of the sound (usually bass/medium-part if a lowpass filter is used) gets reduced/compressed, and the "thin" part (high frequencies, I guess) remains at original level, or is slightly compressed. You'll have to re-adjust the compressor's output level to get an equal loudness from low to high frequencies at good level.
For more precise and linear results over the entire frequency spectrum, you can try using a multiband compressor.
Try different filter types. Maybe bandpass is a better choice for the sound.
A filter cannot "create" sound (except for self-oscillation). If the original sound doesn't have much high frequencies, you can amplify as much as you want using the filter cutoff frequency and resonance....the high part will still remain thin. |
