bayoubilly Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I recorded a show yesterday and the bass is kind of intense. it would definately sound a lot better if it got turned down but I'm not sure what the best way to do this is.here's a sample of the worst part[attachmentid=1993]I'm basically asking for a picture like this for me to copy, but a lot better to optimize the quality.[attachmentid=1994]bassysample.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 You highlight the audio you want to decrease the base on then go to "effects" then EQ or equalizer (I don't remember right now) Then that will present you with a bunch of presets you can choos from. You can modify any of the EQ curves just by clicking anywhere on the blue line. The will create a frequency band point that you can now drag and move with your cursor any way you like. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayoubilly Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 yeah, I know how to do it and all but all the presets increase bass and I don't really know where to put the dots to make it sound the best. I guess I'll just experiment and see if I can figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) To reduce bass, you propably need to set the cutoff point lower than shown in the pic, usually somewhere between 50 and 200 Hz. You'll definitely need to experiment to find the best sound for your playback equipment. The recording doesn't even sound too bassy to me. YMMV.Edit: Since you were asking for an example, a rough starting point, here is one:[attachmentid=1996]The cutoff is set to approx. 100 Hz with somewhat more than 6dB/oct. rolloff. Try to keep the unmodified higher frequencies on the 0dB line - if you raise it like in your pic, you'll risk clipping.
