[LAU] A nice three-band split

Hello everyone! I want to split an audio signal in three frequency bands, as used in multiband compression/other mastering purposes. I'm using LADSPA effects for that. But I have the feeling, that I'm not doing it completely right, as the simple three-band filter already changes the sound of the audio. Here are my settings: low_pass: LADSPA unique ID: 1891, lowpass_cutoff: 120, stages: 1 mid_pass: LADSPA unique ID: 1892, band_centre_frequency: 420, BAND WIDTH: 800, stages: 1 high_pass: LADSPA unique ID: 1890, highpass_cutoff: 920, stages: 1 Mathematically seen, the three bands just touch. But then there are the filter stages. Should I set them higher, so the bands don't overlap? Or should grow/shrink the limits of the bands/ What would be your best bet? Thanks and kindest regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de
