First, select the frequency you want to set as the
perceived
bass. The best value for this
setting depends on the genre of music you'll be playing most regularly and the size of your
speaker system.
A rule of thumb for this is to choose the frequency about one octave below the low
frequency cut-off of your speaker. This means that if you have a speaker which is capable of
producing 100 Hz, you should use the 50HZ setting on the Basscreator as a starting point.
If you have set the frequency, set the drive and mix levels. The drive level determines the
amount of harmonics generated by the algorithm and determines the sound it will produce
for a large part. The mix level sets the amount of added effect (the amount of virtual bass
added to the original signal).
