The autofilter is a filter that can have its cut-off frequency altered either by the inputed signal or by its side-chain input (if used).
attack - How fast the filter movement will reach its maximum depth.
release - How fast the filter will move back to its initial frequency (see frequency).
hold - Sets the duration the filter will stay at its maximum depth.
gain - Boosts the gain of the signal.
filter mode - The filter has 4 Modes: lowpass, lowpass inverted, hipass and hipass inverted.
frequency - This parameter allows control over the filter's cut-off frequency.
resonance - Allows control over the filter's resonance. NOTE: Don't turn it up too much, possible damage to your ears and mind.
depth - Depth and direction of the filter movement.
threshold - The threshold sets the filter's sensitivity, when will the the filter movement start.
dry/wet - The dry/wet parameter lets you blend between the original (dry) and the filtered signal (wet). Turning the dry/wet to 0% will mean that the signal will pass through the device unchanged.
side-chain - If a second signal is inputed into the autofilter's side-chain then the filter will react on the side-chain input instead of the main input signal.
So if my track doesn't get to, say, 12 db the filter won't start to move? sorry i don't understand the purpose of the 'threshhold' knob, what am i supposed to do with it during production?
The threshold sets the signal level above which the filter cutoff frequency will start following it. If the level of the input signal (or side-chain signal) is below the threshold, the filter cutoff won't change. If the level crosses the threshold, the filter cutoff will start following it. Here's a template I did a while ago to illustrate it: (link is only visible to registered users)
Very handy when you have a bassy mid-bass (or brilliant bass) and you want the low end to be filtered out to clear up space for kicks (sidechain)....this makes sense :thinkky:
