Problem: No bass at all ...
Problem: No bass at all ... Posted on: 22.07.2012 by Garret Selstad Hi when i use i play using in (the audio set up) the buil-in output, (the sound card of my mac book pro), there is litterally no bass at all. All the bass are cut. but if i use headphones (still on my computer) the bass are normal.So how can i bring the bass ? | |
| Garret Selstad 10.08.2012 | okokok: polite ad no sarcasm So as soon as i have a decent internet connection i'll send screenshots of the settings thanks for the help though |
| Venetta Cawyer 03.08.2012 | YaYa, I've read trough all four pages of this thread and I still have no clue as to what your setup is or ..whatever. Try asking an educated question and perhaps you'll get a useful reply, helping you out. HOW are you recording? What devices are you using? How is your EQ and filter set up? if you cannot answer these simple questions we're gonna have a hard time helping you. |
| Anne Brevig 02.08.2012 | no he means what audio interface, are you playing through the S4's outputs, or routing it through your macbook's outputs? what does the first setting in the preferences say? open audio midi setup and see what options are available and what's set as default etc and yeah dude don't be rude these guys are just trying to help you out the best they can it might be useful if you post up screenshots of what settings you have and what your traktor screen looks like it'll give us a better idea |
| Lorri Bobar 31.07.2012 | i dunno man, it sounds like the bass is there, but is weaker or just not good thru your laptop speakers. it is probably a very simple thing like the volume you recorded at is not high enough to drive the bass. if i had your computer in front of me or could see your signal path, or the files you get on recording, maybe i could help more. like if i had the original mp3 you started from, i could see your levels in traktor, i could see the file size and type of the recorded file, and i could a/b it against your original mp3's volume/gain. then i could help. you could try open up the file you have recorded in a spectral analyzer and let us know if the bass is there or not - what is the volume/gain on the freqs from 20hz to around 200hz? cos whatever you can hear with your headphones, that is what everyone else in the world would hear with their headphones. unfortunately laptop speakers are not trustworthy. |
| Garret Selstad 31.07.2012 | no when i put the headphones it always work. (and yes it's in mp3) |
| Lorri Bobar 31.07.2012 | even with your headphones on? is it a .wav file? try right clicking in itunes and convert to mp3. now see if there is bass. |
| Garret Selstad 31.07.2012 | But wait, if that's the case, how come even after i recorded and put my track on my itunes, there is still no bass |
| Lorri Bobar 31.07.2012 | yes, pick yourself up an audio interface and you'll also be able to separate your 'cue mix' from your 'main output', so you can listen to decks on your headphones before the crowd hears it - good for cueing up the next track and getting it in time. |
| Garret Selstad 31.07.2012 | well after if i listening back with headphones, i can hear the bass. And DAMN, that was the answer i was looking for. THanks dude ! |
| Lorri Bobar 31.07.2012 | ah ok. well, the output coming out of traktor and using your macbook pro in built soundcard is probably too much for your computer speakers to handle, so the bass isn't being represented. you say when you record the output of traktor, it also has no bass? even after listening back with headphones? anyway, an audio interface (or external soundcard) is a device that moves all audio processing to its own place (this is also what video cards do). so, instead of yuor macbook struggling to deal with multiple tracks playing AND running the system, software, internet, etc. you can offload all of that extra processing to a device that is made to sound good and made to not overload. my thoughts |
| Garret Selstad 31.07.2012 | i am on a mac book pro if it's what you mean |
| Lorri Bobar 31.07.2012 | what audio interface are you using? |
| Garret Selstad 31.07.2012 | 1. no it's in the center 2.no effect 3. same problem with every deck but the problem is not my computer: on itunes, or vdj the bass are working. it's just on traktor. BUT when i put any kind of headphones or monitors the bass come back... |
| Lorri Bobar 31.07.2012 | traktor has eq kill buttons for low, mid-lo, mid, and hi - sounds to me like you've got the low eq turned off/killed? |
| Lynda Guerrieri 23.07.2012 | Hey Yaya, I believe I understand your question. Can you follow-up to let us know if you've checked any of the following?

| Garret Selstad 23.07.2012 | i asked a question, you didn't give me an answer so... you're the one who should stop posting on this thread |
| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | dude you really dont know what your talking about so just stop posting on this thread |
| Garret Selstad 23.07.2012 | Oh ok, i get it, so now when i am going to post my sounds on soundcloud, i'm going to put an amazon link in the description saying, "before listening to my sound please buy monitors". Damn, traktor has some serious issus, this one, the fact that you can't kill the equalizer (by turning the knobs down)... |
| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | Look when I play music through my laptop speakers out of traktor it sounds shit and everybody has the exact same problem THE ONLY THING THAT WILL FIX IT IS BY BUYING POWERED SPEAKERS OR MONITORS |
| Garret Selstad 23.07.2012 | I am just trying to have as much bass in traktor as in the other applications dude. cuz, without bass the sound is awefull. and when i post it or send it there are still no bass, so... |
| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | And your a shit troll |
| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | I really dont understand what your trying to do so I'm gonna leave it |
| Garret Selstad 23.07.2012 | Oh my god !!! it's a miracle, when i put a sound i downloaded on itunes or virtual dj... there are bass !!! OH MY GOD I JUST BROKE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS !!!! hmmm but it's weird, because even if there are bass in every of my applications, it seems like traktor is resisting... |
| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | like padi said your fighting against physics the reason your headphones sound better than your laptop speakers is because they probably have bigger drivers in them. dude the only way your going to fix this is by buying monitors trust me |
| Garret Selstad 23.07.2012 | no. and when i post ithem on soundcloud i still have this awfull sound quality (cuz there's no bass). When i listen to it on itunes without headphones it is like playing it on traktor without headphones so... |
| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | do you listen to your mixes in itunes through your headphones or through your laptop speakers |
| Garret Selstad 23.07.2012 | ok the thing is i mix using headphones. but when i record my mixes and put them on itunes, the sound is awful because there are no bass at all. so that's why i would like to solve this problem |
| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | even if you can fix the problem with the low end your still going to get nothing out of your laptop speakers |
| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | The only answer i can believe of is buying monitors or pa's |
| Garret Selstad 23.07.2012 | traktor pro 2.5 |
| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | what software are you using |
| Garret Selstad 23.07.2012 | Ok but is there a solution to my probleme ? |

| Bunny Sockel 23.07.2012 | its the speakers and laptop speakers are crap save and buy a pair of monitors |
| Garret Selstad 23.07.2012 | Well on Itunes, Virtual DJ and every other software i can hear bass. And i don't say that the bass is low i say that it is litterally cut |
| Nedra Fresneda 23.07.2012 | You won't get much bass response from lappy speakers. Lower frequencies are harder to reproduce on tiny speakers and are just inaudible at a distance greater than a few cm. It's not a problem with your computer, you are fighting against physics. |
