These same notes next to each other in *some* rap songs play very unbalanced. Using a good set of headphones listen to a Bass Mekanik song that plays a 30hz note up next to a 40hz note and you'll notice they play nice and flat together.
I like to use Bass Mekanik as an example.
So by dropping 45hz down now you can hear that low play a lot stronger. That 32hz note doest sound that impressive if it's next to a 45hz note that's already taxing your system. Just balancing out the range of frequincies in the song so that they can be played the way we want to hear them. Most song boosters are boosting the low lows (28-33hz) in the song that the bass boost on the amp is only serving to drown out even worse by boosting around 40-45hz.Īlso 'boosters' (the good ones at least) aren't really boosting as much as they're cutting. Bass boost on amps and decks are ususally centered to 40-45hz.
