Ghost bass?
Posted: Sun May 27, 2012 4:10 pm
So I was reading Bassnectars' liner notes for the new album Vava Voom, and while reading the notes for the song "Pennywise Tribute" I stumbled across something that peaked my interest.
I use Ableton and would like to try to recreate something similar. I'm think he means writing a bassline at C1 (32.7hz) or some note down there, which most people without a really nice sound system can't hear. Then throwing another sine wave an octave higher (C2 65hz) which would sound alright on most systems. What do you guys think???Lorin Bassnectar wrote:Seth Drake was extra vital in the mastering phase due to this song hitting such extremely low notes. At first the sub bass was inaudible due to its low frequency, so he developed a "ghost bass" harmonic algorithm to create a sensation of bass when listening on a home stereo, and still an utterly massive experience when played at a club. TEAM WORK!
