Unlike with equalization, we aren’t trying to emulate classic technology, but instead separate our sound even further from the notion of high fidelity. The Goodhertz Lossy, allows for digital distortion. The numbers listed above are subjective, and should be changed to personal taste. Step 2: Boost the midrange of the recording, using a wide Q, to accomplish a vintage sound. Using a low pass filter, cut down to roughly 6500Hz. Using a high pass filter, cut up until roughly 200Hz. ![]() Use an EQ to create a narrow frequency response ![]() By narrowing the frequency response of an instrument or full mix, we’ve taken the first step to create a lo-fi sound. Equalization:Ī full frequency response is something we’ve become accustomed to in modern recording. With a definition that expansive, creating a lo-fi sound can mean many different things.įollow the example below to create a lo-fi sound, but know that a lo-fi sound can be accomplished in more ways than detailed here. With that in mind, it is always best to think of lo-fi, as that which either no longer fits into the notion of high-fidelity, or that which emulates the sound of past technologies. What lo-fi is today may have been the hi-fi of 30 years ago. Since recording technology is changing, and we base our notion of high definition on the recording technology of the time, what is lo-fi must too be changing. ![]() Simply put, lo-fi is a production sound or style opposite to what we perceive to be a high quality recording. ![]() It’s typically something you can identify once you hear it.
