Is there a plugin that exists which lets you apply the effect of any plugin at all (which has no frequency selection or Q adjustment knobs) to “instruct” the attached effect plugin to only hit a specific range of the frequency spectrum?
For example, lets say i have a single band saturation plugin i really like, but i want to apply that saturation to the mid-high frequency range only; leaving the lows unaffected?
I figured it would be possible to just duplicate the track a few times and segment out the frequency ranges to separate tracks/plugins using EQ, then bounce the result back to one track, but that seems extremely tedious in terms of a routine workflow.
Maybe there is some kind of aux send method that i haven’t thought of yet to make it work but not sure how.
I doubt i’m the first person to think of this. Does anyone know of any daw magic you can pull off here to simplify this idea? I use Logic but I’m hoping it’s just a 3rd party plugin solution. I know nothing about macros btw so also hoping that isn’t the only way here - trying to prioritize simplicity, workflow, and saving time most of all without sacrificing quality.
Frequency-specific FX application?

If your plan is to use your existing plugins, you could do it with DDMF's Metaplugin, Plogue's Bidule, or some other modular style plugin environment. Alternatively, Logic does have plugin chain presets that you could set up the pre-process EQ and processor combos.

some hosts have a container module, that splits the band's and you can apply different fx to each frequency band.

As vurt says, check if your host has some sort of container that does this.
If not, as Collision says, consider a subhost. As well as the couple of modular ones mentioned, you could also look at BlueCat's Patchwork or MB-7, (PW is a linear/parallel chainer, MB is multiband), and there's also NuGen Sigmod which is a bit simpler, but also offers a few other useful functions.

Thanks for all the suggestions, to the quoted poster below, I actually have metaplugin already but have only used it for oversampling. How would i set it up to split the frequency range of a single audio source? Thank you

See pages 6 and 7 of the PDF manual where it talks about the internal plugins, specifically the Crossover, which is a multiband splitter.Dumbquestions wrote: Mon Nov 07, 2022 6:50 pm Thanks for all the suggestions, to the quoted poster below, I actually have metaplugin already but have only used it for oversampling.
