Hi Ady , the following is from the Har-Bal Quick Start Manual . pdf :yodonsen wrote:Hi again
I have got to grips with the segment navigation and I think that it works well, just took a little getting used to. Also having no problems deleting splits now
I have a question:
I opened my file and split it into 3 segments. I made a filter (using the mid trace) and got the first segment sounding how I wanted. Now I want to copy that filter to the third seciton (the middle segment needs a slightly different filter, it's a break) How do I go about copying the first segment's filter to the other segments (so I can apply a slightly different filter to the middle segment?
This is why I was asking how to apply a general master filter before splitting that could then be copied to the segments (leaving a blank outer filter). Then I could just adjust the offending segment slightly differenty to the rest of the track.
Sorry if this explanation is confusing!
Cheers

Design appropriate filter responses for the selected segments to obtain the desired sound. Do so in the
same manner as with Har‐Bal 2.3 A particularly useful technique is to re‐use responses. For example, a
track may have a structure verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse. It is advantageous to re‐use the
filter for the verse sections and chorus sections to get a consistent sound. This can be easily done using
the New Filter dialog box.
First design the filter response for the first verse. Then select the first verse as a reference segment. Do
so by clicking and dragging the mouse from the "R" button on the right hand side of the timeline to the
desired segment. Then select the next verse filter for editing and press the "new filter" toolbar button
and select the "create a filter for the selected segment based on a reference segment" option.
When you've completed filter designs for all segments try playing it through. You'll probably find you
need to fine tune your design to maintain a consistent tonality to the track. If there are inconsistencies
they will be obviously audible when transitioning from one filter to another. It is useful to use the
frequency response view and segment referencing to determine why transitions are poorly
implemented. Another useful thing to consider is where the split is located. Moving a split slightly one
way or another can help mask and obvious transition.
All the best
