How to effect only a range of frequencies?

In a recent thread here asking about how to use effects on bas stracks, a few people posted that they frequently added chorus to bass tracks, but only to the top end.

How would I go about doing this with commonly used VST effects? My host is Tracktion, I would imagine that there is a way to do this with rack filters, but maybe that's not necessarily the best way to go about it...

Many hosts allow you to send different frequencies of a source to different mixer channels.

Also, many mixers have "send channels" that you can further isolate frequencies and apply effects only to that signal.

It would be especially easy to do in Tracktion since you can easily mix divergent streams of sound back in to one track with the rack filters.

You could isolate the high end with an EQ, a high pass filter, a band-pass filter or frequency splitter. In a rack, you would essentially split the signal into two frequency bands, affect one, then mix them back in on each other before leaving the rack filter.

Two tools for this that I'd recommend are Tiny God's Tinysplitter (www.tinygod.com , part of the TinyFX package), which is a 3-band frequency splitter and has stereo out for all three bands, and BetaBugs Bugpass, which is a band pass/reject filter with really steep cutoff.

Or if you have FL Studio, send the track you want to do the freq extract from to, say FX channel 3, and you choose "FX2" in the audio output target, and there you have the FX you want to use..

Yes! Very cool, I thought it made sense to use the T2 rack for this. And nice to save that rack as a preset for later use, too. Thanks!

Oh sorry.. Didn't read that part about you having Tracktion.. (A)

Hey, that's still good info to have in the database here!

Cheers :D

For chorus on bass try BASS CHORUS here: http://www.cloneensemble.com/
For all other vst's - :shrug: - What they said. :D

AA will split a track into up to 8 seperate tracks by defineable frequencies...;)
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.
