What is this effect when a low pass filter and eq is applied to the effect that you can sort if still hear the piano notes being played in terms of motion, what sorcery is this?

You can sort of still feel and sense the attatck and the vestibular effect of the keys being played despite their tones being filtered out?

Example? I think you can answer your question by putting the sound you are hearing into audacity. Look at before and after. I suspect the low pass isn’t perfectly removing all high frequencies. Plus in a real piano there are low frequencies present from the mechanics of the wood keys and hammers.

I was thinking that as well, it could be the actual mechanics, hammers and keys, that are being heard. Could be eq’ed to amplify them. I’ve done similar things with different mics and mic positions to record piano, to capture the “mechanical” sound of a piano.

Are you talking about something like Soothe or SplitEQ? There are certain spectral effects that can remove the tonal characteristics from a sound, leaving only the nontonal aspects. E.g. on a piano, you’d only hear the unpitched, percussive hammer and key sounds.

Here’s a FOSS alternative for Soothe. https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2024/03/03/nih-plug-spectral-compressor/

This is Music Production. A place to share anything and everything you want about your music making journey! Learning is the goal, so discussion is encouraged!

RIP Waveform.

Rules are as follows:

  1. Don’t share other people’s music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
  2. No elitism or bigotry towards other people’s music tastes. Be polite in disagreement.

I will update rules as necessary, but I promise we’ll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!

Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:

(in no particular order)

  1. Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
  2. Learning resources - videos, articles, posts on any topic concerning a production process, be it composition, sound design, sampling, mixing, mastering, DAW workflow or any other.
  3. Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
  4. News about production software, releases and personalities.
  5. Questions and general advice about music production.
  6. Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
  7. Your physical analog gear! Let us know how it performs!

Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.
