Laying Basslines w/ different frequencies/octaves Let me preface this by saying that I am aware that overlapping bass sounds will cancel eachother out and cause a mess of not music. And also that I'm sorry about how long-winded this post is. Okay. I'm going to make up a number here. Let's say that at least 90% or so of the time that people listen to your music, they aren't listening to it with powered subwoofers. Therefore, they will be unable to hear your sub bass. (Actually unless they are in their car with subs or in a club, I can't imagine a great many people have decent powered subs on their home stereo systems). But, there is a certain bass frequency range that a lot of home speakers, car stereos without subs and other set-ups have. Let's say that this range is (I'm guessing) probably around 80-100Hz area. I want my songs to have decent bass on all set-ups that can push it. So, let's say, for instance, that I have my typical sub bassline coming in at about 40-80Hz. Then, could I have another bassline be an octave higher and come in at that 80-100Hz range? I could use some tight LP and HP filters to make sure there is no "bleeding" into the other ranges by each channel. Is this possible? Am I crazy? | |
