never heard of it, where can i download it?

Well its not exactly free.

It's made by Steinberg, so you can get the demo here. I don't know what the demo is like though cos I have the full version.

cool thanks i assumed since it was called freefilter it was free

how do you open it i get a ddl file after installing the demo.

Its a DX plugin. You open it in a wave editor like Sound forge, cool edit, Wave Lab, etc. Put the .dll is the VST plugin folder if you have one. If not, stick it in where all your other plugins are.

To get the volume up, go to Processes --> Normalise. Click "scan Levels", tick "use current scan level" and then normalise to about -0.5 or so. Normalising should be the last process though as eq and stuff can raise the level.

As for using the Mastering, I wouldn't really worry about it too much at the moment. The most important thing to do is to get the mix right. Get the individual eq and levels on and mastering is quite simple. There is a good article in here about mastering in its simplest form. Have a read.

Load in a track that has a similar feel to yours (i.e. similar style of trance) and go to one of the DirectX drop menus. Find ME FreeFilter. Click on Learn and Source, hit preview, wait till it says "source learned" at the top. Hit okay. Then load in your track, open ME FreeFilter, hit Learn Dest. Wait till it says source and dest. learned. The click match and move the morph bar so that your song sounds better.

thanks for ur help cheggy. verry usefull. but one thing, ive figured out how to use the free filter plugin, but there is one problem, it just never says source learned, how long do u have to leave it? i left it the whole duration of Aalto - rush (spuer 8 remix) and it still didnt learn it. and its a 7 minuete song.

am i doing something wrong? it is learning it because all the red lines move (im fidning this hard to explain) so i know its working but it just wont learn it fully. any advice?

I don't know. I just hilight a section of the main part of the song and use it on that section so you get all the synths going. I've only had this for 2 days though.
