Sub Bass Rules

I have decided that bass rocks my socks!

Anyone got any ideas on tracks that have nasty sub-bass
sounds to try out on my system?

I've been listening to the video version of All Is Full Of
Love, with the 40hz frequencies pumped up, and its bowel
shakingly good. Also, My Red Hot Car is pretty sweet.

Any ideas?

the 4th track on that bonus live cd in the limited edition
of the new Animal Collective has a lot of growling bass.

tipper !!!

when i saw fourtet last month, or wait, two months ago, he
hit this low rumble that almost gave me an anxiety attack
but it felt strangely familiar - the sensation

my friend turned to me after it and said "wow, that was like
being on nitrous"

he was right, and it was amazing !!!

Also, Sunn 0))) have NASTY sub bass shit going on. Their
live performances apparently shake the audiences insides
something crazy.

First track from White 2 sounds excellent with the low end
cranked.

the floor coz of it.

I had it at a festival, Smashing Pumpkins were playing (this
was after "siamese dreams" and before "melon collie") and
the bass was turned up much, much too high.

you could feel it thumping against your chest, it made it
hard to breathe.

Anything from on "Out From Out Where" by Amon Tobin, like
"Chronic Tronic", "Rosies", "Proper Hoodridge".
Maybe "Closer"?

That sounds excellent. I love the physical sensation of
bass. At the Pusher gig, Vibert played this track with a
bass sound that slowly dropped in frequency right to the
lowest freq. As it went down you could feel it in your
bowels.

Whilst it carries easily and is antisocial as hell, v. low
bass isn't very bad for your ears at all (it's the high
freqs that do it), so feel free to crank it up!

Generally speaking: Valve systems are great for reproducing
low freqs, transistor amps are more robust/portable, but
can't go quite so low. Be wary of these "bass enhancement"
systems you get on cheap hi-fis/portable players. They often
just EQ boost around the lowest frequency they can
produce, resulting in a rather murky sound. Double bass
sounds great when it's well reproduced, but is one of the
worst things in terms of losing detail on crap systems.

Try alberto balsam by aphex. When i heard it on the pa
between acts at the squarepusher gig i went to, it totally
had some fucking awesome bass i had never imaged was there.

low bass can easily rupture your ear drums.

20hz waves are a LOT of displacement/pressure.

the problem is it takes a lot of power and efficient
designing to attain high dB levels at those frequencies,

but i wouldnt for a second think that 20hz could NOT damage
my hearing ....

im not using anything

that was in my trunk but i got tired of all the added body
roll on the suspension from the extra weight in the trunk,
and quite frankely i just got a little sick of bass, even
though i hadnt much played it loud anymore.

so nothing for now.

although i was thinking of using that driver and building
like a 20 cubed box and porting it up into the living room,
tuned extremely low.

i took it out also to give my lungs a break
ive had 2 spontaneous pneumothoraxes, and recent studies
show that a lot of people are getting them from concerts or
from large stereo systems in their car (makes sense;
pressure changes from bass)...so yaknow

notes...

You know, around 12hz, it is theorised that there is a
frequency that opens the anal sphincter, called the 'brown
note'...!

well.. yes.. it is also rumored to be at 5, 9, 22 and 4 hz.
that file contains 5, 9 and 22 plus 5 and 22 in absolute
sine.. the 22 absolute sine is probably the one you're
hearing.

yikes,
any of those should work (the guys on the Myth Busters tv
show didnt do the test properly IMHO).

any low freq like that at a high power can cause unexpected
results with your internal systems.

me personally, i like to hear subs reproduct square waves

I hear one very distinct tone and a flutter after that. Is
it just an illusion or should I be able to hear that? I
don't have a subwoofer.

it's probably the absolute sine.. that isn't as uniform as
the other (it has "edges" which makes it audible).

Found another nice track to turn your low frequencies right
up for:

Unafraid to Linger - LFO

It sounds great, those frequencies dropping from low to
really low.
