I'd recommend the Filtrator that comes with the TC Native Bundle, it's a discontinued product though. There are also a couple of freeware filters out there, a very basic one called mfilter by TAL.
There's also the Tone2 Bifilter but I haven't tried it.

The FL filters work fine, it depends what you want to do with them, someone posted on here what each type of filter does, yet might be worth researching it to understand the process that takes place.

More useful, I believe, would be recommendations for style of filter per application.
Sonalksis, great filters, but I don't believe one filter is right for every sound.
For example, I like to use an analogue style, 'renaissance' EQ in the mid to high end of my bass to give it a bit of fat. That kind of mild distortion gives a bit of tone increase the cut-through.
I like to think logically when I work (despite the fact that quite often in the audio realm, what you'd *expect* doesn't always happen)
I'm in two minds about what to do in the low end. Bass frequencies are much wider - should I use a supreme digital surgical EQ (like the UAD Cambridge) to carve out annoying rumble or problem bass areas.
Or, should I use a linear phase to keep everything from twisting about.
Or would a nice coloured EQ bring out the tone?
I guess you need a supreme listening environment with great speakers to start picking out the details that minor changes in filter type make on audio. Sometimes its obvious, sometimes you think you can get by on one EQ alone!
I'd like to hear thoughts on which/what type EQs and Where, rather than just which.. |

also the HP filter in the EQ & the channel strip from the Waves SSL bundle is really really good, until 350HZ only, but really really good sounding imo, it kill the lows but somehow keeps the beef

I'm actually having a lot of good results using sonalksis for cutting highs and lows and for filter sweeps on bass. But I'm not a fan of sweeping them over leads.
All filters should have a variable bandpass as standard also! |
