Also if you need bass on crappy speakers a poorly quantized sawtooth wave under 50 Hz can fill in the gap to an extent

- djsavvy 4y agoSounds like a neat trick. Why poorly quantized?
- filoeleven 4y agoMy reply is just a guess. A poorly-quantized saw wave will have “bit-crushing” artifacts at higher frequencies, which can imply the existence of a frequency that’s too low for the speaker to handle. The video link is to a video showing bit-crushing effects applied to saw waves (and others), along with the audio. Headphone warning: it sounds pretty gnarly. https://youtu.be/Tv5c8gPYwFs https://youtu.be/Tv5c8gPYwFs See also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics#Missing_fundamental https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics#Missing_fund...
- squeaky-clean 4y agoWaves has a plugin, MaxxBass which is meant for adding/raising harmonics to create the illusion of audible lower bass tones than the system is actually producing. It gets used pretty commonly in electronic music nowadays but was originally made for more mundane applications like audio mixed for television or theme park speakers.
