Sound · chapter 8 of 11
Less brightness, more warmth
A low-pass filter lets low frequencies through and turns down the high ones. Lower its cutoff and a bright, buzzy sound turns warm and distant.
The line is what gets through. The bars behind it are the sound itself, low frequencies on the left: watch the right side fall as you close the filter.
That is the idea.
Turning things down is how a mix gets clear. Bright things sound close, dark things sound far.
