quik tip for people who don't have a sub or deep bass, put your head underneath your desk to hear the bass a bit a better.

Does this work? Or have merit?

All I could compare it to is when I put my head in one of the corners of my room & feel like I'm being violently mugged.

Do the confines of the desk act as an accurate isolation chamber? Personally.. And I may be wrong here. But I'd imagine it would be a highly resonant place to stick your ears?

Nice tip, and my personnal advice here would be to listen 1 floor under (or in your basement if you can)

Yeah i do this, i listen from through the wall. Really acts as a good filter...also makes you think you're queueing to get into the club hearing the muffled rumble, haha. Maybe thats just me

I can agree with Morgan there.. sometimes a good way of understanding how clear stuff is.

I go for a stroll about the place. Give the bass waves room to cycle, get away from the room.

going into other rooms helps definitely...

Been working with the sub pac for the last few weeks, going to some things I've made working with it this weekend so that'll be an eye opener I think...

Its a common trick to just stand outside your room in the hall and listen to how it sounds.

also good idea is to put your head in fridge for 2 minutes & come back into the room :P

Put your head in the washing machine !!.


Haha, speaking of washing machines, I made a whole series of sounds (used on my last singularity release), where I attached a contact mic to the washing machine drum, then put a speaker in there, pretty loud, and played sounds through it from synths and samples from my octa, and then recorded the resulting metallic vibration sounds through the washing machine drum.

Sounded pretty awesome.

Nice. I did a tribute track to washing machines called Spin Cycle.

On topic, I demoed subpac last month and was pretty impressed. Good investment I think.
