What's with the line through 18 khz?

I don't know

That kind of thing happens a lot, generally it's from the recording gear and it wasn't loud enough for anyone to notice when mixing.

why not

i think thats the peak, music generally doesnt go past that line or else it'll sound really loud

This is a spectrogram, genius.

>>74869063
upscale/transcode

>>74869330
transcoding doesn't add things like that, it's obviously in the original recording

>>74869063
High pass filter on part of the mix, most likely.

I know you guys think preserving the entire spectrum of inaudible junk up to 37 khz is desirable, but there's actually a lot of situations where engineers deliberately constrain the upper end. Frequencies in the upper spectrum of human hearing are usually pretty unpleasant to listen to.

how the fuck does that make any sense?

a highpass filter isn't going to add a constant tone at 18 kHz

Is that Take a Bow by Muse? I'm really asking. Perhaps is something like that. Listen to Muse - Take a Bow, they have some sort of synth way up high.

It's there to piss off everyone who isn't an old fart who can't hear 18K

>>74869092
This is the most likely answer

Song looks boring desu.

I don't think you know how high 18khz is

>>74869063
intentional artistic liberty taken by the recording artist

>>74869395
Not him but the plugin might've added it in

>>74869432
I think I do. Have you heard the song while paying attention?

No. That's not how filtering works.

That doesn't have to be a constant tone. The spectrogram is a visualizer. If there's a component of the mix with an 18 khz wall it may have just built the visualization that way.

If that's a rip rather than the original CD track, there's also a strong possibility it's just circuit crosstalk from the computer used for the rip and wasn't actually present in the original.

Okay, no. A spectrogram doesn't take artistic license. There are different ways to display it (frame size, window function, interpolation between frames, gain, etc.) but it doesn't do shit like that. That's obviously a constant 18 kHz tone.

That part is actually plausible.

This.

Something from Disraeli Gears, can't remember

Idk at 18khs I don't think anyone cares
