Bass Boost filter window - Help - Stereo Tool 6.00
Bass Boost filter window
The bass boost filter deforms the bass sounds to make them sound louder, without causing very big volume spikes as a normal equalizer would do.



Bass Boost filter panel
  • Boost strength
    Determines the amount of bass boost that takes place.

    0% is no change, 100% is maximum boost.

  • Maximum boost from 0 upto
    Determines the frequency upto which the maximum amount of bass boost takes place.

    Set this slider higher to have more bass boost - but the bass will sound distorted if it is set too high.

  • Then dropping to no boost at
    Determines the frequency above which no bass boost occurs anymore.

    Frequencies above this frequency are completely ignored in the bass boost filter.

    Set this slider higher to have more bass boost - but the bass will sound distorted if it is set too high.

  • Allow harmonics from 0 upto
    Bass boost artifacts below this frequency are not cleaned up at all.

    Set this slider higher to have more bass boost - but the bass will sound distorted if it is set too high.

  • Then drop to no harmonics at
    Bass boost artifacts above this frequency are completely removed.

    Set this slider higher to have more bass boost - but the bass will sound distorted if it is set too high.

  • Maximum bass peak level
    Determines the maximum bass output level.

  • Relative to automatically determined peak level
    Scales Maximum bass peak level according to the predicted bass level coming out of the AGC and Multiband filters.

    If this is disabled, the maximum bass peak level does not change if any other settings are changed. If it is enabled, the filter will make a prediction of the maximum bass level coming out of the AGC and Multiband filters, and assume that 100% is this maximum level (short bass spikes in Multiband are ignored in this calculation).

  • Preserve louder peaks if needed to preserve bass volume
    Stops the bass level from being reduced if the input bass level is louder than the configured Maximum bass peak level.

    If the bass that comes in is louder than the level set in Maximum bass peak level, the louder peaks are preserved if this is enabled.

  • PLAY BASS ONLY
    Plays only the bass, useful for testing purposes.

    Playing only the bass sounds makes it easier to detect whether bass distortion is taking place.
