PostFilter

This effect allows quick and easy filtering of unwanted frequencies, creating room for the important sounds in your mix.

PostFilter combines a low-cut filter, a notch filter, and a high-cut filter. You can change the settings by dragging the curve points in the graphical display, or by adjusting the controls below the display section.

Graphical display

Visualizes the settings for all parameters.

Level meter

Shows the output level, giving you an indication of how the filtering affects the overall level of the edited audio.

Low-Cut Freq (20 Hz to 1 kHz, or Off)

Allows you to eliminate low-frequency noise. The filter is inactive if the curve point is located all the way to the left. You can set the frequency either in Hz or as a note value. If you enter a note value, the frequency is automatically changed to Hz. For example, a note value of A3 sets the frequency to 440 Hz. When you enter a note value, you can also enter a cent offset. For example, enter A5 -23 or C4 +49.

Note

Ensure that you enter a space between the note and the cent offset. Only in this case, the cent offsets are taken into account.

Low-Cut Slope

Allows you to choose a slope value for the low-cut filter.

Low-Cut Preview

Use this button between the Low-Cut controls 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 that you want to filter out.

Notch Freq

Sets the frequency of the notch filter. You can set the frequency either in Hz or as a note value. If you enter a note value, the frequency is automatically changed to Hz. For example, a note value of A3 sets the frequency to 440 Hz. When you enter a note value, you can also enter a cent offset. For example, enter A5 -23 or C4 +49.

Note

Ensure that you enter a space between the note and the cent offset. Only in this case, the cent offsets are taken into account.

Notch Gain

Adjusts the gain of the selected frequency. Use positive values to identify the frequencies that you want to filter out.

Notch Gain Invert

This button inverts the gain value of the notch filter. Use this button to filter out unwanted noise. When looking for the frequency to omit, it sometimes helps to boost it first (set the notch filter to positive gain). After you have found the frequency of the noise, you can use the Invert button to cancel it out.

Notch Q-Factor

Sets the width of the notch filter.

Notch Preview

Use this button between the notch filter controls and the graphical display to create a band-pass filter with the peak filter's frequency and Q. This deactivates any other filters, allowing you to listen only to the frequencies you want to filter out.

Notches buttons (1, 2, 4, 8)

These buttons add additional notch filters to filter out harmonics.

High-Cut Freq (3 Hz to 20 kHz, or Off)

This high-cut filter allows you to remove high-frequency noise. The filter is inactive if the curve point is located all the way to the right. You can set the frequency either in Hz or as a note value. If you enter a note value, the frequency is automatically changed to Hz. For example, a note value of A3 sets the frequency to 440 Hz. When you enter a note value, you can also enter a cent offset. For example, enter A5 -23 or C4 +49.

Note

Ensure that you enter a space between the note and the cent offset. Only in this case, the cent offsets are taken into account.

High-Cut Slope

Allows you to choose a slope value for the high-cut filter.

High-Cut Preview

This button between the High-Cut controls and the graphical display allows you to switch the filter to a complementary low-cut filter. This deactivates any other filters, allowing you to listen only to the frequencies you want to filter out.
