Re: Ableton - trying to roll off master at 30hz...

Never sure whats the best plugin for this... But I believe using an eq with a huge slope >24db will create more resonance right at that frequency this is the And I read that using a linear phase EQ to avoid this resonance is no good too because it can do weird things to your low-end.
