Mixing Music | Music Production, Audio Engineering, & Music Business Why HPF and LPF Are Your Mix’s Secret Weapon | All About Using Filters
In this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lu break down one of the simplest but most powerful tools in every engineer’s arsenal: high-pass and low-pass filters. From functional cleanup and frequency management to shaping emotion, depth, and energy, filters are far more than just technical necessities — they’re creative tools that shape the feel of a track. The guys discuss where filters should be used, where they’re often abused, and how they use them to sculpt tone, add movement, and guide listener focus. Whether you’re cleaning up mud or automating your way to a more emotional mix, this episode will leave you hearing HPFs and LPFs in a whole new way.
