Tomorrow it will be possible (currently I don't have any access the Internet
from my home)

Sorry I wasn't very clear saying "adding / removing" frequencies --- I should
have said "modifying the level of some frequencies" of the signal and leave the
other frequencies unchanged (of course the best way is to use FFT filters)

Low shelving (for example) boosts or attenuates the low frequencies without
changing the rest of the signal (on the contrary, a lowpass filter clears all
high frequencies and leave the low frequencies unchanged)   

If you want to attenuate all the frequencies below 340 Hz, for example,
substracting the output of a lop~ filter to the original signal (with "-~")
won't work -- unless you pre-offset and post-offset the original signal so that
all signal will have strictly positive values during filtering.
I don't know it this is the good method, anyway it works ...
