producers in their 70s still using shelf filters and bell filters to make their mixes sound better. Nah bruh I got an obnoxious filter on the master channel cranked all the way up. That stuff hits harder than my depression

forcing myself to go to bed at 2am instead of sitting at my desk thinking about salvador updates like a good little person with a body to take care of

did they put a pillow in front of the microphone for this guy why is his voice so muffled

How Low Pass Filter and Dual Notch Filter Helps in Frequency Filtration?

A dual-notch filter is a filter that excludes two particular frequencies from a signal. The signal may become noisy or interfered with since these frequencies are frequently close together. In contrast, a Lowpass Filter reduces the signal's high-frequency components such that only low-frequency components remain. They're employed in various industries, including telecommunications, audio and picture processing, and many more. It helps to get a signal that is consistent and clear.

I WISH I had my own Michael to speak to me, I'm so jealous.

He's all yours anon.

Just a little note- These are Pre-Distortion Michael. I couldn't get usable results training on Michael Distortion due to the, well, distortion in the sample audio. So if you want Mikey D, you'll have to put the result audio in the something like audacity and distort the output audio from the model (aka add some echo, high pitched noise/static and mess around with high/lowpass filtering) Michael 1.0 is a model trained from the raw data of his lines from MAG 99. It has a lot of noise and a bit of speech slurring due to the cassette tape SFX. it has VERY good magnus-y results, but isnt good for something like singing. Michael 2.0 was trained using audio I heavily edited + the one blooper where his VA speaks without the cassette filter over it. it has the low end of his voice restored that the lowpass filter of the tape recorder destroyed. it makes him sound very different. it was also trained with feature extraction which sort of reconstructs his voice from scratched based on the "features" of it if that makes sense. its more likely to retain an accent when you feed it non accent data (though its super rare due to the nature of speech2speech). I still have mixed opinions on how this model turned out and it has more unstable results than 1.0

But yeah, TLDR, just download RVC, select input audio, select the model, and you can run this locally. its very lightweight and can run on a laptop from like 2014!

We've made a new pedal!

Here's the first teaser for our new Pitch Magpie pedal, a pitch shifter that aims to capture the best of the weirdest pitch shifters from the 90s...

Background

For the past couple years, we've been trying to make a delay-based pitch shifter that sounds good. It hasn't been easy. There's a reason that most pitch shifters have switched to FFT-based algorithms: latency. There's a reason the monophonic Whammy is more popular than the delay-based PS3. Usually, to make a delay-based shifter sound decent, you need to use long delay times, which creates some serious latency. That's fine for organ type effects, but it can be pretty limiting. In contrast, reduce that latency too much and you've got a metallic ring mod, especially on the lowest string of the guitar. But with some tweaking and some crossfade tricks, we think we've found the perfect middle ground. And although there's still a tiny bit of lag, you probably won't care once you add the filters or vibrato haha!

Why filters and vibrato? Well, when I have used those old delay-based shifters, I always thought they sounded best when combined with other pedals — especially for creating special effects! So I though: what if those effects were combined with the shifter? Not just slapped on after the pitch shifting circuit, but actually integrated into the circuit, so that turning up the feedback ("overtone") effects the filter or the vibrato too. The results were even better than we hoped! Sure, it's nice that the pedal can double as a random chorus or a modulated highpass with the pitch shifter section disabled. But turn on the pitch shifter, and the resonance of the filter and the overtones of the pitch shifter start to interact as you turn up the feedback. And if you set the shifter near minimum with high feedback, you get all sorts of comb filter effects. With just a few knobs, the possibilities are really surprising!

Features

It's hard to express how many ideas and variables we packed into the Pitch Magpie. But the three modes are a start. Each is based around the same core pitch shifter, but each offers a unique effect:

Glis Mode (“glissando”) generates an auto-slide, adding a pitch slide when the input signal goes over a certain threshold (think: Hounds). The slide time is controlled by the param knob, which also selects between two slide shapes (basic or U-shaped).

Res Mode applies a resonant filter, selectable between lowpass and highpass with random modulation options. There’s always a bit of resonance, but turning up the overtone knob adds even more, with feedback and oscillation at extreme high settings.

Vib Mode applies vibrato to the the wet signal. Setting the pitch knob to center bypasses the pitch shifter, allowing you to create chorus effects by blending the dry signal. It can even work as a random vibrato (tape warble) with the param knob at max.

With all of our pedals, we try to keep the controls as concise and performance-friendly as possible. We could easily make this kind of pedal with a ton of knobs. But we wanted to find sweet spots and make it quick to move between them. Though we also made sure to give enough adjustment for things to get weird!

The Pitch Magpie's Param knob on takes this idea to the extreme. The knob is most dramatic on the Res mode: left of center, it controls the frequency of a lowpass filter; right of center, it controls the frequency of a highpass filter. But set the knob to minimum and it randomly modulates the frequency of the lowpass. As maximum, it does the same for the highpass.

The Pitch knob is quantized to the semitone, offering 31 distinct settings. For continuous pitch control (for whammy-style effects or microtonal adjustments), the expression input can be used.

As on the Oxford Drive and EQ-201, the footswitch is configured for “flexible” bypass. Tap the switch briefly to turn the pedal on and off. But hold down the footswitch, and it was act as a momentary switch, keeping the pedal active until you release it. This seems particularly useful with this pedal, especially on more chaotic settings. You can also alternate the default bypass state of the pedal by holding down the footswitch while plugging in the power jack.

Air Baltic did an impressive lowpass go-around above the Center of Riga carrying the Latvian Ice Hockey team returning from Tampere after bronze victory yesterday, Latvia, May 29, 2023...

Testouts of my new proof of concept opto (vactrol) filter module. It can do both hipass and lowpass, but its lowpass is a bit tastier. I'm designing it because my "aubery's mind on synthesis" modules aren't selling at all, so dual vactrol lpg/filter it is. VC resonance coming soon

tbh creature in music form

put a lowpass filter and panned everything to the side a bit to give it a "dissociated-but-still-feelin-silly" vibe

Are you wondering where one uses a low-pass or stop filter? Well, the two have opposing functions. Before we dive into where you can Buy LowPass Filter, here is a glance at their applications. 

Free string synthesizer sample plugin (Strykebrett)

Strykebrett is a free sample library for Decent Sampler featuring the Hohner / Logan String Melody II with some added features. All the sounds in the video are from a single instance of the plugin with no additional plugins or effects added.

User Interface: The user interface offers precise control over every aspect of the instrument and effects. Explore parameters to refine your sound, including control over the six drawbars, envelope, amplitude modulation with LFOs, highpass and lowpass filters, velocity/dynamics, oscillator drifting, and the immersive effects of ensemble, phaser, echo and reverb. 

Mixer (Bass / Treble): Unleash the power of the six drawbars to shape your tone with precision. Each drawbar controls the amplitude of a specific octave or sound, offering you unparalleled control over the instrument's harmonic richness. 

ADSR Envelope: Shape your sound precisely with the Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release parameters. Whether you desire a punchy, staccato tone or a smooth, lingering ambiance, the ADSR envelope allows you to tailor the dynamics to your liking. 

Low-frequency Oscillator (LFO): The Rate and Depth knobs enable you to modulate the amplitude of four of the drawbars with the desired depth and rate. The LFOs for the treble section has a sine waveform for smooth transitions. The LFO for the bass section has a sawtooth waveform for a rhythmic effect. 

Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF): Strykebrett has a highpass filter and a lowpass filter. The highpass filter ranges from 20 Hz to 2000 Hz and the lowpass filter ranges from 200 Hz to 8000 Hz. 

Oscillators:

Dyn: Turns on or off the velocity controlled amplitude

Drift: When enabled, each sample will have a slight pitch drift. The pitch drift for each sample is unique and independent. It's less pitch drift in the bass samples than the treble samples. 

Ensemble:

O: 3 stereo choruses with different speed and depth

Acc: Turns the ensemble off

Solo: Fast stereo vibrato

Organ: A slow stereo chorus 

Effects: The phaser is the built-in phaser from Decent Sampler. The echo and reverb effects are achieved using carefully crafted impulse responses. The echo effect employs a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo recorded twice for stereo, while the reverb effect draws from a Chase Bliss Audio & Meris CXM 1978 reverb pedal with a room setting. 

Echo: Select from two distinctive echo options: the short echo, delivering a classic slapback effect, and the long echo, characterized by a slower decay and numerous repeats. 

Reverb: You'll also find two reverb effects: the short reverb, evoking the intimacy of a small room, and the long reverb, enveloping your sound in the vastness of a spacious environment.
