SubBass
The SubBass plug-in generates frequencies below those of the original signal, resulting
in artificial bass content.
The simplest use for the SubBass is as an octave divider, similar to octaver effect pedals
for electric bass guitars. Whereas such pedals can only process a monophonic input sound
source of clearly defined pitch, SubBass can be used with complex summed signals as
well. See Using SubBass.
SubBass creates two bass signals, derived from two separate portions of the incoming
signal. These are defined with the High and Low parameters. See SubBass Parameters.
Warning: Using SubBass can produce extremely loud output signals. Choose moderate
monitoring levels, and only use loudspeakers that are actually capable of reproducing
the very low frequencies produced. Never try to force a loudspeaker to output these
frequency bands with an EQ.
SubBass Parameters
The SubBass offers the following parameters.
High Ratio knob and field: Adjusts the ratio between the generated signal and the
original upper band signal.
High Center knob and field: Sets the center frequency of the upper band.
