I’ve been trying to work on a plugin and I think it may actually be impossible. So I guess what I’m hoping is that someone here will either say “yes this is impossible. stop trying!” or they will say “it is possible and someone already did it!”
What I am trying to do is have a plugin that will fade higher frequencies faster than low ones. Not just a low pass filter – that would create a static tapering of higher frequencies. I’m talking about something that will mimic what happens when the source of a sound is getting progressively further away. All frequencies will fade, but higher frequencies will fade faster.
This same process could also mimic the sound of a plucked string, where the partials all fade faster than the fundamental.
To do a basic workaround that estimates the effect would not be hard. Make multiple copies of the track, using high/ and low/pass filters so that each copy has a unique range, and then apply different fades or envelopes to each.
What I want is a plugin that will do all this – ideally smoothly across all freqencies, rather than in discreet frequency ranges.
