Sub Synth

A specialized effect that reinforces the low end by mixing in a filtered low-frequency signal derived from the original audio. Useful when bass-light music needs more warmth, fullness, or headphone-friendly impact.

Listening Enhancement Guide

  • Bass Enhancement:
    • Adds depth and power to thin recordings
    • Creates fuller, richer low end
    • Perfect for headphone listening
  • Frequency Control:
    • Control which added low-frequency range is kept
    • Independent filtering for clean bass
    • Maintains clarity while adding power

Parameters

  • Sub Level - Controls the added low-frequency signal level (0-200%)
    • Light (0-50%): Subtle bass enhancement
    • Medium (50-100%): Balanced bass boost
    • High (100-200%): Dramatic bass effect
  • Dry Level - Adjusts the original signal level (0-200%)
    • Use to balance with the added low-frequency signal
    • Maintain clarity of original sound
  • Sub LPF - Low-pass filter for the added low-frequency signal (5-400Hz)
    • Frequency: Controls upper limit of the added low-frequency signal
    • Slope: Adjusts filter steepness (Off to -24dB/oct)
  • Sub HPF - High-pass filter for the added low-frequency signal (5-400Hz)
    • Frequency: Removes unwanted rumble from the added low-frequency signal
    • Slope: Controls filter steepness (Off to -24dB/oct)
  • Dry HPF - High-pass filter for dry signal (5-400Hz)
    • Frequency: Prevents bass buildup
    • Slope: Adjusts filter steepness (Off to -24dB/oct)

Visual Display

  • Live frequency response graph
  • Clear visualization of filter curves
  • Real-time visual feedback

Music Enhancement Tips

  • For General Bass Enhancement:
    1. Start with Sub Level at 50%
    2. Set Sub LPF around 100Hz (-12dB/oct)
    3. Keep Sub HPF at 20Hz (-6dB/oct)
    4. Adjust Dry Level to taste
  • For Clean Bass Boost:
    1. Set Sub Level to 70-100%
    2. Use Sub LPF at 80Hz (-18dB/oct)
    3. Set Sub HPF to 30Hz (-12dB/oct)
    4. Set Dry HPF to 40Hz (-6dB/oct)
  • For Maximum Impact:
    1. Increase Sub Level to 150%
    2. Set Sub LPF to 120Hz (-24dB/oct)
    3. Keep Sub HPF at 15Hz (-6dB/oct)
    4. Balance with Dry Level

Quick Start Guide

  1. Start with moderate Sub Level (50-70%)
  2. Set Sub LPF around 100Hz
  3. Enable Sub HPF around 20Hz (-6dB/oct)
  4. Adjust Dry Level for balance
  5. Fine-tune filters to taste
  6. Trust your ears and adjust gradually!
