→High-Pass
==== High-Pass ====
A high-pass filter (EQ) allows high frequencies to pass, but filters out frequencies below a certain point. It can be rather gradual so that as frequencies get lower and lower they get slightly softer and softer until they are inaudible, or it can be rather abrupt, where frequencies above than the cutoff frequency are nearly completely unaffected, but frequencies below the cutoff are completely inaudible. See also: [[#Low-Pass]].
==== Hot ====
This actually refers to something different than the [[#Warm|warm]]/[[#Cold|cold]] dichotomy. In reference to signal levels, a hot signal is exceeding or nearly exceeds its maximum level before clipping/distorting. In reference to tone, this translates into the amount of distortion applied to the tone. A "hot" tone has lots of distortion. It can be used to express negative or positive connotations towards the level of distortion. For example, one may say the tone is "too hot", or one may say, "Man, that tone is hot!"
