Cheap EQ to Isolate Harmonics of a Wave?

Fab Filter is the way to go but is there something cheaper that does the trick?

  • LRC7, free

    Yes. Blue Mangoo's "Parametric Equalizer" has very similar visual design approach to use a scalpel on the spectrum to isolate/gain control frequency content. $6.

    Maybee TB EQ

    High and low shelf 48db or Bandpass 30db…

  • Barkfilter by Virsyn might also do the trick...
    Even though Pro-Q 3 is considered to be on the 'expensive' side it's so worth it to be honest.

    All greats suggestions. Am I right to say that they all sounds the same, it's just a matter of options and UI?

    The TB is a solid option with a beautiful UI, but if it does not sounds better than the BlueMangoo, I will probably pay more for options I never use.

    If all you need is sharp band filters then yes. The free LRC7 by our wonderful developer @NeonSilicon does the trick.

    Good suggestion.

    I'm curious if ApeFilter will do this. I'll confess I never did really understand that app, but it looks like it kinda does that?

    Thanks @rs2000!

    @Montreal_Music, Unless the filter is modeling a physical circuit, then any filter of a given type is basically going to sound the same. The details are in the "given type." There are lots and lots of filter types, but most of them aren't really important for audio and whole bunches of them that are useful for audio are only used in specific circumstances that probably aren't going to be appropriate for common uses. (Things like super high order FIR filters used for sample rate conversion for example.)

    As a general thing, I suggest using the least aggressive filter that you can to get the job done. I would say that when you need to do even a steep roll-off that you should try to stay with a Butterworth type filter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterworth_filter) because it is a natural sounding filter with good characteristics in the passband and it is almost certainly going to give you enough drop off in the stopband. Go with the lowest order of filter you can that gets the job done.

    LRC7 can probably do what you want using a combination of the Butterworth HP and LP filters. But, I'd suggest using the builtin filters in your DAW if they can do the job. But, on iOS at least, several DAW's don't really have good builtin filters. If they all did, I wouldn't have bothered to release either LRC7 or LRC5.

    Tanks! I use Cubasis 3 on iOS but the filters are basic. I will try LRC7. I have also downloaded all your apps, they all looks interresting.

    apeFilter (from creator of apeMatrix) and AU3FX:PeakQ (from creator of AUM) have peak/notch filters and cost $5

    apeFilter's Q goes to 200. Just saying.

    You sold me apefilter. More complicated, but super cool and powerful. It makes things that FFPQ3 can't.
