  • Let's take a few minutes to talk about the high-pass and low-pass filters in Audacity. High-pass and low-pass filters are an effective way to attenuate unwanted frequencies above or below a set point that you determine. It can be another way of eliminating or reducing unwanted noise in your podcast.
    You can find me on the web at audacitybootcamp.com and my Audacity Bootcamp: Beginner to Advanced video teaching series is at www.udemy.com/course/audacity...

    I kept seeing low pass and high pass in DAWs everywhere, but I heard it again in a CZcamsr I watch and I got really interested. Thanks for the help!

    In the part where you set the low-pass frequency to 600 Hz then reduced everything above that by 36 DB, it sounded as if you had a mask placed over your face! :)) I mean, there have been times where I've heard recordings of people talking with a mask on, like for example a diver talking underwater with a full-face mask, and I always made the comment that it sounded as if they added a low-pass filter onto their voice. Well that's pretty much what happened except that they did that with an actual physical object instead of achieving the effect electronically.
    Anyways, this was a great explanation; I was always a little confused about the difference between a low-pass filter and high-pass filter. So this video explained it pretty well. I've also heard of another type of filter called a "band-pass" filter. I guess it's similar to what you explained here, but not by much?

      Micheal, the Graphic EQ or Filter Curve will allow you to grab those mid-range frequencies and amplify or attenuate them.

    When i apply HPF it messes with phase and step response. Could you explain what effect it has exactly and if its detrimental for music ( if i apply 24 db at 15 hz for example ) ?

    • @LearnAudacity
      @LearnAudacity  Před 3 lety +1

      It's not detrimental to music in any way. Audacity was built around music and for music. Using it for speech only (podcasts) is a bonus. Are you familiar with the Audacity User's Forum? You might want to see if anyone else is experiencing that same problem and how they solved it. This is the first I've heard of it. That URL is forum.audacityteam.org/

    However as a beginner I don't understand many things. Pls make a video what is Hz and Db. I think you are good at explaining.

    • @LearnAudacity
      @LearnAudacity  Před 3 lety +2

      Thank you. That's a good idea and one I'll be working on.

    • @Galactigoose
      @Galactigoose Před 3 lety +2

      Take this with a grain of salt because I'm not an expert but my basic understanding is: Hz is a measurement of frequency (i.e. how many times something happens in a second, in sound we're talking about how many cycles or little hills in a wave happen per second.) It's not quite the same thing as pitch, but in general you can kinda equate the two. High frequency sounds tend to sound higher pitch (if it's not past our hearing threshhold.) dB is a relative scale used to measure "attenuation" which is basically how much a sound wave is absorbed or reduced. Since it's a logarithmic scale the numbers are kinda confusing, but in general 3dB of change is either half (-3dB) or double (+3dB) the original sound's intensity. Maybe Audacity Bootcamp could correct me on that? Great video!

  • @je6a478
    @je6a478 Před rokem +3

    I've got a question. Assuming I put every frequency below 1kHz down in the equalizer, do I get the same effect as a low pass filter set to 1kHz? Or what is the difference?

    • @LearnAudacity
      @LearnAudacity  Před rokem

      It can be. It would depend on the dB rolloff you have set in the high-pass filter window when applying it.

      No it's not. It applies it equally to your selected audio.

      Yes, if you use the Filter Curve instead. You can roll off your unwanted frequencies any way you need to, using that method.

    • @LearnAudacity
      @LearnAudacity  Před 2 lety

      High pass passes higher frequencies while attenuating or reducing the loudness level of lower frequencies. Low pass does the opposite. It passes lower frequencies while lowering the loudness of higher frequencies. I hope that helps.
