12.25 Steinberg PostFilter
The PostFilter is the filter plug-in to use if you are working on a post-production mix, but
of course you can use it in music production, too, as an alternative to complex EQ config-
urations. It allows quick and easy filtering of unwanted frequencies, creating room for the
important sounds in your mix.
The PostFilter plug-in combines a low-cut filter, a notch filter and a high-cut filter. You can
either make settings by dragging the handles in the graphical display, or by adjusting one
of the controls below the display section. Use the Preview buttons to compare the result of
your filtering and the filtered frequencies.
The following parameters are available:
Level meter
The meter to the right of the EQ display shows the output level, giving you an indication
of how the filtering affects the overall level of the edited event.
Low Cut Freq (20Hz to 1kHz, or Off)
Use this low-cut filter to eliminate low-frequency noise. The filter is off when the han-
dle/knob is moved all the way to the left.
Low Cut Slope pop-up menu
Allows you to choose a slope value for the low-cut filter.
Low Cut Preview button
Use the Preview button (found between the Low Cut Freq button and the graphical
display) to switch the filter to a complementary high-cut filter. This deactivates any
other filters, allowing you to listen only to the frequencies you want to filter out.
