@@79keydet in music when you use the term color you can refer to many things, i said analog color, it means that if you dont make cuts but shelfs its going to sound more like an analog eq since analog eqs are more "bell curve" sounding and are commonly defined as a more "colorful" option than vst parametrics, so it was about emulating the analog result, if we are talking about the aim of every plug in, saturation is used to bring out more harmonics from a sound, if u use alot of it its going to be more like a distortion, the color is the intrinsic sound that every effect(mostly analogs) has regardless the settings, you could notice that simply applying an eq with no settings on in a track the sound changes just a little bit, maybe it becomes more hot or more cold but it is just the sound passing trough the plug that makes a specific change, well that little change is color, there are plugins that specificly adds color but they are most of the times analog emulators (99 percent of real analogs or analog sims are also used just to add color without touching settings)

@@79keydet Also color is the shot term for "tone color" that is a synonym of "timbre", so no, color is not about saturation, color is about everything that can change timbre, saturation can change the timbre like many other instruments but is not meant for it, its meant to bring out harmonics from a sound and make it pop out in the mix without actually increase volume. You cant change the color from a saturator its just going to bring a single timbre related to the saturated channel, nothing to do with color controlling, Obviously you can use any effect as you want for any final result but saturators are litherally about saturation, its just a type of distortion.

@@edoardocoppola1180 so called "analog color" is just analog circuit distortion harmonics which can be reproduced with a saturation effect in digital. Different analog circuits give different circuit distortion enriching sound with different harmonics. Thats what "analog color" is about. Different analog EQs have different analog colors since their circuits are built different thus introducing different sets of harmonics. Most popular among EQ "analog colors" is Pulteq circuit distortion harmonics set.

Different EQs works differently. For example Ableton Live non-linear EQ8 is transparent in oversampling mode and causes no audible phase issues. linear phase EQ is needed when you eq a sample recorded from 2+ mics. It is most often applicable on multimic drum recordings. If you are EQuing samples from downloaded sample packs most often you would have zero difference if using eq correctly - not carpet equing with a high Q values. Also linear phase eq causes pre-ringing artifacts...

@memeswillneverdie

The low shelf still has phase shift granted much less but it’s there and it’s correlated to the steepness of the Q, also why do the bass and kick have to be in phase, they aren’t the same instrument recorded at the same time, if you sum the two and flip the phase on one and see the result and guarantee there will be no frequency differences. Also even if it did effect the signal flipping it 180 degrees would only help if the signal was 180 out of phase, slight phase shift could end up getting more audible by flipping the phase.
