Wouldn’t it be the same to use a parametric EQ, smash everything down and progressively pushing up each frequency band? Or am I missing the ”trick” here? What is the point of this?

Isn't this the same as what Ableton's stock EQ headphone button does? It allows you do hear whatever frequency you're adjusting. Maybe this is all they're doing under the hood

Db :
Use the gain plugin and send it to a bus with the original track output set to no output, send whatever else you want into the same bus, and do the same to the other channels for the output. Also add the gain plug in to each output going to the bus you want. Invert them and reverse stereo as you need to place and mesh what you want into one sound. Anything that’s not going to that send will be in phase and what’s not in phase will be the dominant frequencies, if you want to flip it you can set the master channel inverted and whats not inverted will be the dominant frequencies.

this is why i love plugins with a delta button

this sounds like how the unmixing algorithms might be working

dude yes and then u can like only send the highs through whatever effects u want without effecting the lows, or making just a mid band go through whatever by itself its crazy

It’s polarity not phase, other than that, cool trick dude

It’s a cool technique. Here’s how I use it...I duplicate my mono center track, flip phase polarity on one copy, and EQ that copy to remove masking frequencies, giving punch and clarity. The side takes are separate recordings on left and right, giving width and freedom, and I add reverb only to those side channels so the center stays focused.
We must be careful because stereo tracks have different information in the left and right channels. Flipping polarity and duplicating them can cause unpredictable cancellations, comb filtering, or hollowing, so the subtractive EQ effect becomes inconsistent and can weaken the sound.

Not all eqs are phase coherent/aligned though, no? If changing eq changes phase, you may not be hearing the eq changes per se
