Okay, bear with me for a second:

So, I've been experimenting with Low Shelving vs High Passing in my mixes lately, after I saw a video where this guy went into the phase issues that can happen with high passing and why, supposedly, in low shelving, the same phase issues don't occur.

I noticed that when I drag the little eq point down in Reaeq to Low Shelf it's exactly the same EQ curve as when I high pass -THIS IS ONLY WHEN I DRAG THE EQ POINT ALL THE WAY DOWN -it just "flips" into a high pass eq curve. I thought that maybe the visual of Reaeq wasn't accurately representing what the EQ was doing, because one expects a low shelf eq to maintain that low shelf curve, but I checked what it's "really" doing with Bertom's Eq Analyzer, and it does appear to just turn into a high pass if you drag the EQ point down that far. So, apparently, the eq curve shown in Reaeq is the accurate representation of what's going on.

So, I guess when you drag the EQ point all the way down in Reaeq, even though you are in low shelf mode, you effectively are high passing? It just turns into a high pass? I swear they sound different, but maybe it's just placebo.

Also -if you have any free low shelf eq plugins that you suggest I try, please let me know. Kind of into low shelving as opposed to high passing these days.

ALSO -If you can recommend whatever one of those phase analyzers is (a free one) that might be fun for me to try out...

Thanks.
