This is a 100% transparent Four Band Frequency Divider Audio Rack for Live. Unlike the factory multiband live presets this keeps your audio integrity intact. This can be used for frequency dependent FX & mastering purposes. This uses subtractive phase techniques as opposed to minimal phase EQ. In other words the basic signal flow design framework wont change or color your audio. You can test this by double bussing & inverting the phase.

Updated 4-21-08: New design with 24db filters & improved signal flow for lowend separation. Still maintains 100% transparency. Best for extreme separation processing.

very cool. thanks for sharing.
Very nice! thanks this is great.
nice, ill try this right when i get home
brilliant!
it’s indeed 100% transparent. and there’s no delay, right?
if it’s this clean and easy, why do companies who make multiband products fill page after page talking about how they worked for ages on cross-over designs that have minimum distortions and delay?
i replaced the live filter with sonalksis tbk to even get 48db/oct slopes. works great!
Thanks so much for this…it works perfectly and has let me apply some needed sidechain compression to only the lows of some loops….thanks so much.
Sorry, once again I just get a page of text/words/numbers when I try to download. It does seem like you do very detailed work. I was able to download and the Moog drums and they’re great. Very well done. What could one use all the impulses you’ve made in, I have Waves IRL/Trueverb etc. would I load the impulses into there? Sorry for the trouble. I will donate if I can actually figure this out.

& yes the ir’s will work well with waves irL
I’m really interested in checking this out-thanks!

I think you can use it to set up a very nice multiband sidechain compression. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for these they have become an essential part of my setup!
The idea of duplicating and inverting the phase is quite brilliant. That said, the signal flow diagram on this page is extremely hard to see. Still great work!
mmm i’ve tried downloading it but ableton says it’s corrupt… tried with 3 browsers?
do i need a certain version of ableton?
thanks
Why is the rack so HUGE for the actual splitting of the signal? And what exactly is the phase inverted HPF for exactly? In reaper I’d set up 3 band splits by simply placing your plug on the source channel, making it a 6 channel track, send to 3 different channels, and add effects on any band.
I’m very lost looking at this rack, need some type of navigating to see a simpler way to do it.
Scratch most of the comment before, I see somewhat what it is now. You made this from scratch without actually using your VST Freq Divider. But your vst freq divider is much simpler and here’s the email I sent you guys. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A 3 BAND VERSION OF YOUR VST FREQ DIVIDER!
Out of all the freq dividers I know of, only your divider was able to null.
Out of araldfx, crossover 3 way, and RND SPL-IZER, none of those nulled in Live 8 using double buss technique.
Could I PLEASE ask for a 3 Band Version your Freq Divider?
Man, Bravo, you know your stuff.
I’m head deep into a few music projects at the moment. When time permits i’ll create a 3-band. In the meantime you could sum the two highbands into one.
Last note, very bad for me that the actual rack presets don’t work in Live 8. Anyone else run into this issue?
