I hit on something the other day – Drum Track, on the Drums Bus: High Shelf 2K-10K +1.5 db or so ( a little boost ), then cut an offending resonance up around 3.4K, -8db or so, tight Q. It sounded “exciting.” The ear was drawn to it but it wasn’t annoying or fatiguing. There was a sizzling top end, hats and snare, but without any harshness – saved it as a preset.
Excellent videos and take aways from it, particularly about fearless low end filtering. Thanks for posting.
