I have a mastering chain with Vintage Drive at the top. I'm happy with the sound of my master with everything on it, but I'm getting an odd rumble when some vocals sing harmonies. There's nothing under 180hz in this spot, but Vintage Drive is giving me subharmonics under that, from the bottom up to that 180 mark. Bypassing the VD removes it entirely, and the mix itself is clean and high-passed here. I know I could just high-pass this portion to cut it, but I'm worried it may be adding more subharmonics to the rest of the song.
What might be happening here? Sorry; I'm new to mastering and, to a lesser extent, general engineering as well. (I don't have all the ideal plugins, but we all start somewhere eh?)
Here's a screenshot of my VD setup and chain, for reference.
To be clear, I went with the one I linked to in the original post, at the "Edit", the metal hose. I've been using both of mine year-round almost daily and they still look and work like new. They don't kink, they don't knot, they don't leak at all. I'm never going back to rubber hoses. They're a little pricey, but they are phenomenal and worth every penny. I even gave one to my stepdad who had the same problem I did originally. He's kind of pretentious and has strong opinions on product value and quality, but even he admitted it surpassed his expectations.
Garden hoses vs Phoenix heat?
