There is roughly a 20 dB boost sine wave sweeping from 30 Hz to 40 Hz compared to 100 Hz. Sine waves have been used to create Bass lines in Dance Music since 1980's. Some are more extreme than others. I was not hired to critique one's musical taste. I am merely there to reinforce the sound.
I actually became
familiar with the track when Rog used it to demonstrate the
VOID Incubus System. Best Regards, Edited by Elliot Thompson - 11 June 2019 at 10:38am |

Using a sine wave generator as the source for the bass synth your production process does not mean a pure sine wave is the resulting output when the tune is mastered.

yes there are many different waveforms producing different overall real power (wattage) to the voice coil.
50/50 square wave is the most "powerful" (and dangerous). Square wave power = U * I Sine wave power = U(peak)/1.4 * I and so on.. As example, amplifier can put 100Volts peak (rail voltage being slightly over 100Volts) maximum continuous voltage swing for 8ohm load. Now lets push that amplifier to the clipping thresold with different signals: Square wave produces 1250Watts Sine wave produces 613Watts See, there is almost double the power compared to sine wave. Actually this is why heavily clipped signal can destroy speakers so easily because total power the voice coil has to dissipate rises dramatically. Bass lines can be anything beetween the two. Sine wave is typical starting point but they usually add something to it, like some distortion, harmonics etc to make it sound better. Anyway, there is no doubt that long and strong bass lines does the most stress to amplifiers and subwoofers. But hey, who asked to use all those equipments at their maximum ratings? It's good to have enough head room there anyway. 2 ohms / channel is just fine as long as we stay far away from clipping. Edited by Tonskulus - 11 June 2019 at 11:08am |

No, Basslines in real music pretty much always have a higher crest factor than a sinewave, they are pretty much never between a sine and a square wave, always a high crest factor than a sine. The tune mentioned that was described as having continual sine wave when actually analysed did not, it has dynamic, like practically all music. Can you point me to a tune that features these mythical long drawn out sinewaves? Ive looked, but never found one..

Kaiju - Hunter. 36Hz sine wave, but it's compressed, which adds a bit of harmonic content. IIRC, the crest factor below 100Hz is <2dB. If you wanna cook drivers, that's my go-to. Chris

Just analysed it, with lowpass at 100Hz 24dB then normalised to 0dB its 6.4dB crest factor in the heavy bass section, if i hard limit at -1dB so it is slightly clipping then normalise to 0dB again its 5.39 dB crest factor across the heavy bass section, there are short bursts of around half a second that get down to about 4dB crest factor. If you just look at the waveform you can see it does not have as high a duty cycle as a sine wave, there is some dynamic to it. |

Look at the Excision - X rated Sounds even better with subharmonics generator. The problem is the more distored and less sine looking bass waveform is - the weaker it is percived on same output. And it takes space in mix :(

Powersoft K 10 Maximum output voltage 200Vpeak On 8 ohm it gives 2000W I guess thats for its maximum Voltage as PSU is oversized. So 2000W is ~(126V)^2/8ohm So wattage given in spec is RMS wattage. Not wattage calculated based on maximum(peak voltage). Dont calculate crest factor of a bassline/peak. Calculate crest factor bassline/sine N type & loefah - way of dub caspa remix Kid Cudi - Day n Night the Widdler's Dubstep Remix Edited by gen0me - 12 June 2019 at 1:02am |

Yes stated amp "wattage" is almost always calculated on RMS voltage, in pro audio anyway...
N type & loefah - way of dub caspa remix
Same process, 24dB lowpass at 100Hz, normalise = 8.6dB crest factor in the heavy bass section, applied a hard limiter at -3dB so its clipping quite frequently, now its about 5.8dB crest factor in the heavy section. Still lots of visible dynamics, clearly not as high a duty cycle as a sine wave. Kid Cudi - Day n Night the Widdler's Dubstep Remix 7.18dB crest factor, hard limit to -2dB (frequent clipping) =5.23dB crest factor. I dont understand what you mean by "Dont calculate crest factor of a bassline/peak. Calculate crest factor bassline/sine" |

"The problem is the more distored and less sine looking bass waveform is - the weaker it is percived on same output." no, quite the opposite. the presence of higher harmonics (at a much lower level than the fundamental bass frequencies) leads to a much increased perception of loudness. also the pereceived loudness of a bass note is mainly defined by the maximum level at the start of the note, and by the sustain length (even when this is several dB lower level than the initial sound).
