High-Pass/Filter
Posted: 18 Sep 2013, 23:43A little moan about the filter/high pass effects on Cross.
Whenever I listen to mixes by my favourite producers I'm always struck by the sound of what I assume is the filter they're using. It successfully cuts bass but not in a way that emphasises the treble.
The filter in Cross (assuming using it from centre to the right) always leaves far too much treble behind, at a volume that is quite sharp/distracting.
By default when you use a UMCP2 the bi-directional effects option is unticked. In this case, when you use the high pass effect, turned about a quarter there is a sudden kick of volume and bass is heard, often tripping the master volume alert. I've since found that if you enable bi-directional effects and leave depth at the minimum, you can use high pass and get a much more effective high-pass/filter effect. Without the bass effect and volume mentioned before.
I'm very bad at articulating this issue, I understand that, but does anyone else agree? Cross is perfect for me for nearly everything but the filter. Are there any plans to improve the filter and effects?
Am I talking nonsense?!

kinda good to know ,about the added control with bi directional ,have left it un ticked ,and also noticed un pleasing behavior ,will look into to its use to get a better outcome with that filter /effect,,,,not shure what can be done about it ,, pretty shure that fx are on the too doo list 
an the inception of adding effects to the software there was a poll and concences gotten,, maybe when the issue come to the top of the list ,maybe the same will happen
