i need a very good sounding steep high pass filter/eq, greater than 24db/oct. its wanted for cutting under bass drums.

havent tried many but waves ren is the best i've found so far, but something steeper would be even better.

any....?

thanks.

Have you tried just using the one you like best, and putting two or more in a row? Two 24db/oct in serial wil give you 48db/oct.

Saves you searching and trying out a bunch of new filters.

I do the 2 eqs in series trick sometimes too shamann...
If you want a real steep one - how's 96dB/octave sound (or anything else you want) - FreEQ Boy does that. It's very transparant - also no artifacts.

If you just need to cut the frequencies, you can try BugPass (free). It doesn't let anything below or over the specified freqs.

GlissEQ cuts the freqs thoroughly, as well.

I would recommend Camelphat 3 for this function.
I am not sure what the slope of the filter is, but in practical terms, it does a great job of removing those low frequencies that clutter up the bottom end.

It also has some other neat tools for beefing up your drums, too

I think he was talking about wider boy pro, which is only ten or fifteen bucks.

Fabfilter Volcano's filters go up to 48 db which is pretty steep.

try elemental audio Eqium. You can make them as steep as you want by adding in as many hi-pass filters as your pc can handle on top of each other

I use fft filters for this kind of precision, but due to the heavy cpu load those plugs give a really delayed output...that's why I sample my bd and do the fft job into adobe audition. Then i load the filtered bd into my sampler.
Obviously if you have pdc (and a good daw) or freeze functions in your host there's no need to use an external sampler for things like this...

getting a wee bit shirty there, ttoz

what's the cpu use like? is it something you could insert in 4 or 5 tracks without a major impact ?

ttoz, hi does not want to cut out the bass, he wants to cut under the bassdrum to remove rumble. i think. another vote for kjaerhus golden eq.
