Description
Smooth filtering with an analogue character.
Border pairs a high-pass and a low-pass filter based on second order Butterworth curves. Clear out rumble and harsh top end, or shape a sound so it sits in the mix.
Why Border
- Analogue-style curves: second order Butterworth high-pass and low-pass
- Resonance per filter: add a musical peak at the cutoff
- See what you cut: live display with draggable HP and LP nodes
- Free forever: no iLok, no account
Use it on
- Rumble and low-end clean-up
- Harsh top end
- Making room in a busy mix
- Filter sweeps with automation
What’s new in 2.2
- Resonance (RES) per filter, 0.5 to 4, for a musical peak at the cutoff
- Live display: the filter curve over the output spectrum, with HP and LP nodes you can drag
- Type exact values, A/B compare
- Native on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
- VST3, AU and AAX
- Same sound as the original Border at default settings: old sessions load as before
Controls
- HIGH PASS and LOW PASS: 20 Hz to 20 kHz, type exact values in the readouts
- RES: resonance per filter, 0.5 to 4
- Display: drag the HP and LP nodes, left and right for frequency, up and down for resonance
- A/B: compare two settings
