I made a quick project with three stereo tracks. No processing of any kind. I discovered, while testing why Cubase 8’s pass filters sound different than C7/.5, that there seems to be no difference between the 12dB/oct and 24dB rolloffs in both hi- and lopass filters of the Pre section.
To reproduce:
Create several audio tracks. No processing of any kind—including EQ
Add a lopass filter in the Pre section at a certain centre frequency (I chose 10,000Hz) to all tracks
Check that the filters are set to 12dB rollof and bounce through main bus. Bring back on new audio track (don’t forget to mute it!)
Repeat step 3 with filters set to 24dB rollo
Solo the two new bounced mixes
Flip polarity on onef
For me, I get complete null—on both lopass and hipass (a tried hipass at 60Hz)
The 36- and 48dB rolloffs do not null to the 12dB—which means they’re working as they should.
I already posted an issue here that my projects where I use filters don’t come back correctly in C8
The moderators have moved the thread to the “misc” forum without answering why the filters don’t come back as they should. I’m actually very upset. Update money wasted because I can’t use C8 on projects I began with C7.
There is a serious fault with the HFC. Even 8.05 doesn’t fix it. All 7.5 projects come back with the filters way off. This is not subtle. The mix is totally broken.
Yeah, give it a shot! I haven’t tested 8.0.5 yet, but they didn’t mention it in the relase notes, so it should be the same.
It certainly isn’t minor. In a huge rock mix, I might have low-passes on all of 75-100 tracks. The result with these new filters is decimating to a carefully balanced mix!
Just spend an hour on testing, I can not repro.
The pre-filters work as expected, here.
Although I didn’t save and reload the project, if that makes a difference ?
it might be happening when the track is being routed from another track, I’ve had the issue you’re talking about but am still trying to properly capture this bug.
