I use Cubase and I have found it tedious to make a good sounding filter sweep with the native effects plugins. Is there a way to easily make a quality sounding filter sweep in Cubase? Or should I buy the Oneknob filter?
OneKnob Filter is a simple low-pass filter effect. As its name suggests, the plugin features a single knob which, in this case, controls the filter cutoff. The only other control parameter is the button for selecting the resonance mode (None, Moderate, High, or Extreme).
OneKnob Filter - From the mixing room to the DJ booth, OneKnob Filter is a powerful sweepable filter with switchable resonance modes, perfect for full mixes, loops, synths and more. In this free video tutorial, Marcus shows how Waves OneKnob Filter can be used to filter and create automated sweeps in PreSonus Studio One.
OneKnob Louder - Using a combination of peak limiting and low-level compression with automatic makeup, OneKnob Louder effectively makes tracks louder, increasing RMS by up to 24 dB. In this free video tutorial, team member Marcus Huyskens uses the "louder" plugin from the Waves "oneknob" series on the drum buss, in order to add apparent loudness, depth, and punch to his drum tracks.
Driver encompasses everything from light grit to full-on heavy distortion depending on how far you go up the dial. Like Brighter, Driver is a plug-in that is constantly evolving. On clean lead electric guitar licks, Driver does an excellent job of adding subtle amounts of overdrive to the sound with a sound very natural to the amp itself. One downside here is that Driver does tend to filter out a lot of top end, softening the sound a great deal the more you increase the processing. A good workaround for this is to use Driver as a parallel bus and sneak in the dirty stuff with your original sound.
im trying to do something that should be relatively very simple,
im making frequency2 into a 24db/oct LPF and I want a 4 bar sweep closing the filter.
for this I select the designated band, make an automation lane and draw a falling saw shape.
for reasons unknown to me this is causing the eq to step instead of smoothly sweeping, it seems to me it is jumping between the chromatic frequencies instead of interpolating.
Hello
Have you tried using the pre filters on the channel EQ? Even with Pro Q3 I can hear the steps. For me the smoothest was the bx_cleensweep or UAD Cambridge EQ.
Usually the channel filters does the job for me just make sure you switch the EQ/filter trasitions from soft to quick in the mixconsole.
If you still hear it you should change the buffer on your audio device and see if it changes.
I guess I will avoid native plugins for things such as filter sweeps, although I fail to understand why SB would not allow it to be done, they should make a plugin specifically for sweeps or have frequency go into hi-res mode, frequency has liner phase mode which is latency inducing why not have a hi def mode too?
if I would have been complaining about some feature buried deep down somewhere which 2% of the users actually use I would have given them the benefit of oversight, but a smooth filter sweep is quite an essential thing overall I would say.
