In this video, I show you how to split audio signals into multiple frequency ranges while keeping phase issues to a minimum. I start by explaining the problem with traditional analog-modeled zero-latency EQs, which introduce phase shifts when adjusting frequencies. Then, I explore some alternatives like using Ozone 8’s digital mode, Bitwig’s FX3, and a custom-made EQ split using impulse responses. Throughout the video, I talk about the trade-offs between phase accuracy and latency, sharing some presets to experiment with.
Analog EQs naturally cause phase shifts, especially with low cuts.
Ozone 8 has a digital mode that preserves phase but adds latency.
Bitwig’s FX3 can split frequencies but introduces phase inversions at crossover points.
The Spectral Splitter keeps phase accurate but requires latency.
I created an impulse response splitter to maintain phase integrity, but it comes with fixed crossover points and latency.
