saturating highs before lows

cool mixing trick from sage audio.

  • use a shelf eq to tilt down the low end before running it through distortion then reverse it after.
  • this preserves the bass from getting blown out

It's similar to how compressors that have a high-pass filter built into the detection circuit before the threshold to prevent pumping.

tal use (ultra simple eq) is one option its a free tilt eq
