Sub-bass vs. Physics
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2017 12:11 am
I think I might of asked this already...
If you have a sine-based bassline with overlapping notes and you get some interesting patterns with phase, where one note causes phasing on the tail of another, is there a risk there technically (vinyl cutting, sound system with no limiter, hypothetically)?
From what I remember from physics you can have waves cancel or, in the other extreme have standing waves, but it's somewhat unpredictable. Maybe my memory is tainted, but had a case where I had a bassline running with long release on the notes and how one note interacted with the following note intrigued me and just trying to figure out if it's a non-runner on a technical front?
But maybe I'm overthinking things or have shit mixed up...
Anyone got any input on this? ..
