Oh yes :devil:

Oh, and its not a normal bass booster!

This will be fun (Y)

 

[mike]

that will be insane, you don't more bass

 

[Retepetsir]

It restores the 'lost bass harmonics' in the audio tracks...........mwahahaha

I'll see how it sounds! I can always flog it if I dont approve

 

[mike]

blah blah blah,

there is nothing wrong with your system it sounds perfect and you have enough bass (its not a SPL car)

 

[Retepetsir]

I want more bass for a single 10 . It'll give me a better score when I enter some of the soundoff events (might as well if I can beat people!).

It'll also fill in the lows as its not dropping enough (roles off at 30Hz).....we'll see.

If not, I'll sell it!

 

[Bence_Fs]

Let us know how you get on with this, i can be doing with a bit of boost in the bass section aswell

 

[Retepetsir]

It has arrived...mwahahahah.

Got to wait until the weekend to fit it though :kungfu:

 

[paddymarsden]

how much was it ? i take it if you put a mobile on the roof while the toones are pumpin it will fly off

 

[Retepetsir]

That happens anyway....not bad for a single ported 10" subwoofer

The box is soon to change to a special 'Transmission Line' box, more output and better SQ, but the box will take up the whole boot!

I'm more interested in SQ, but to add more low bass extension would be nice .

Oh, and it was £100ish imported, its at least £200 over here.

 

[Craig]

ytou should start floggingthem on eBay

 

[Retepetsir]

I've been thinking about that........

The version with the SPL meter built in is £350 over here, and £150 in America.

Tempting!

I might be selling this one after all anyway, as it's going to take too many changes to use it

 

[Craig]

Do it Pete, you will need much petrol money if you're gonna be driving a 2hundy soon.

What does this thing actually do in layman's terms anyway?

 

[Retepetsir]

Erm, layman's terms.........

It's a special sort of frequency divider, and will restore 'missing' bass that is taken out from the live recordings before being mastered on CD.

It analyses the harmonics in the music (certain signals and say 80Hz, 160Hhz, 300Hz, etc) then calculates its own 'extra' bassline 2 or 3 octaves lower and seemlessly integrates this into the music......

Basically, you have a lovely bassy track which 'peaks' in bass at 50Hz, add this thingymajig and you now get lovely natural bass at 50Hz as well as 30Hz.....lovely!

Complicated, but it works

 

[Ed]

They dont remove bass before its mastered!

 

[Retepetsir]

Not remove, when it's compressed you can lose the lower end bass, you'll also find that quite often they'll include artifical 'peaks' of bass at around 60Hz, as most people dont use subwoofers.....the Epicenter sorts this all out. A CD's response is also pretty naff below around 30Hz (iirc), so again, this helps.

A friend of mine currently works in a studio and has mentioned their methods for editting the bass, hopefully this gadget will help add in some nice notes.....

Re-reading, I didnt mean take out before mastering, but during mixing and mastering, quite often the actual bass will be lost/given a false edit.

I won't know until I try it though!

 

[Craig]

Try it try it try it, sounds like good stuff

 

[Retepetsir]

I'll have to wait until the weekend....too much work on atm

 

[Craig]

Geek, live a little

 

[Ed]

My friend also works in a studio, he does none of this!

 

[Retepetsir]

It's not actively 'done', but compressing music (it can make it sound 'better' for most peoples hifi's, etc) can reduce the output at certain frequencies.

We'll see how it works anyway, should be fun. It hasnt won awards for nothing!

Hey, when I have 15 engineers on my back for the project I'm working on to be complete, its not fun.

My placement sucks at teh moment :blush:
