For the size of the edits that were made, Fruity limiter is perfectly adequate. Of course you're not going to double the gain or drop the threshold to nearly nothing, that's not mastering. This is an article about mastering in fl studio. Your dislike of the Fruity Limiter is also quite irrelevant. Cutting these frequencies out adds clarity to the music as humans can't recognise harmonics in this range. It is only ever detected by human hearing as very deep noise, if it is detected in the first place.

In a song written for a diatonic scale it makes absolutely no sense to have any sound coming from these frequencies. Any sound below 40Hz is difficult to hear and cannot be distinguished as a note.

It's completely irrelevant to the fact that humans can hear down to 20Hz and all to do with the effect that the cut actually has on the sound. It's quite normal to cut out frequencies below 40Hz. I don't think your criticism is particularly constructive.

Tip 6: Fruity Limiter has an unprofessional algorithm that causes a lot of pumping, even if you increase attack and release times, and can't apply in awful lot of gain.ĭelete this comment if you like, but that doesn't rid the problem. Tip 3: Dynamic range compression and lossy compression are 2 completely different things, you won't lose high end freqs from dynamic range compression, and even if you did, this parametric EQ would not help recover these frequencies, because they're not there and you'd only be boosting the slightly lower ones. On top of this, the parametric eq in the picture is cutting valuable frequencies even above the stated 40hz and is even slightly affecting up to 130hz, which is nonsense. Not only can we hear downwards of 25 or even hear 20hz, many headphones and good speakers will have a frequency range travelling well below 40hz. Tip 1: Cutting below 40hz is barbaric in many genres. This article really misinforms readers, and here's why: I believe when writing for a big website such as this one, it's very important to be accurate, as people can get stuck with 'tips' on the net for a long time, delaying their production skills. I don't wish to hate, but I think constructive criticism is necessary here.
