Bass? Hello?

When you play this clip, at what time do you start hearing sound?

I sense something at 0.03, and can definitely hear sound by 0.05… you? does it matter? what is matter? never mind… what is mind? no matter… Have a read of this instead: Basswatch #3: The Cult of the Sine Wave – enter the Temple of Boom

  • On my Panny HTX7 casual consumer cans I can hear rumble right away, so I don’t need to try with my Senny HD-25′s :-)

    MacBook unibody speakers don’t register anything until about 26 seconds. Wow!

    On my iMac it didn’t kick in until 13 seconds, but that could be because the child can’t stop talking.

    with ultrasone 750 headphones, i hear it right away. with my tannoy TS 10 sub, it’s about 7 seconds. i’d guess if i had my blue skys set up, i’d also hear it right away…

    Heard/felt it from file start but then I’ve got a big ass sub (not the sandwich) sitting about 4 feet from my right foot.

  • greg says:

    yep, just hooked up the blue skys and hear everything all the way thru. i also noticed where my current room has some notable low end problems (but i’ve known about these for a while)! moving to a smaller room soon (d’oh) but am planning on incorporating a number of new bass traps, sound panels and diffusers…possibly a floated floor. speaking of which, hope your move is going well!
