High-Pass/Filter

Postby rhopkins on 18 Sep 2013, 23:43

A 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?! :D

+1, I really love Cross but I am not a fan of their filter at all! I am not a big effects junky by any means but compared to traktors and even seratos filter I honestly find myself just not wanting to use it at all! I dont think any software needs to have 101 effects as long as the one's they do have are quality.. unfortunately IMO this is one point where Cross is still behind the rest :eek:

Erm, in 2.6 the filter is LOADS better. Did that change sneak in under the radar?

How come the filter does not always turn on? I believe this happens often when I go over to hipass side, the knob is being turned on screen plus the acticity light is lit but the sound is not hi cut properly. Might require some extra twisting and turning to get it working. Anyone else noticed this ?
