Well I heard this from one techno guy. He was talking about mastering, and he said that he is using a 12db/oct hi pass filter on 32 to 35 Hz on the whole mix, since you pretty much can't find a system that really gets that low.
Since I do have a little studio, and most of the guys I record don't have money/time to get their stuff mastered, but want to hear it pretty loud, I throw a 3-4 db of compression and about 1 to 3 db's of limitting on top of that.
Now I tried putting a digirack hpf before the limitter, and I was able to drive the track hotter, without hearing any differences!
So I just wanted to know if any of you guys think about this little tweak?
