Just listening to an old album by one of my favorite groups (Truth). HOT content down to 27 hz for the first 4 phrases after each drop on this one (title track)

So one of my favourite drum and bass producers has put out a new EP and has done a bit of experimentation (his sound design work is immense)
Ladies and gentleman, I will conclude Colossus EP with the last track and that is my biggest succesful sub experiments, Autonomus. It was far more difficult to make this one, but pulled it out. The question was: how much dense sub can be and have gaps on speaker systems where 16" and 18" cones need time to settle? Your move dnb world.
It's like a jackhammer of bass, it's truly silly. Need to get home and try this out!

My reference CD is Mickey Hart's "Dafos", and for bass I go for track 5 "Psychopomp". Mickey did this on an instrument made out of an aluminum I-beam, and it's got a bunch of energy buildup in it. Salesmen in hifi shops crap their pants when I put it on.

Just found Lindsey Stirling a few days ago on Noise Trade. Wow! As a violinist, it is hitting all my buttons. She likes dub step, and I have T30's, ...Next time I have them wired up....

I guess some of us old farts just don't see the value of bass for bass' sake. If it's a really crappy song, but it has more low-end than the next song - does that make it better?
I've listened to a few of the clips on this thread and just don't get the allure. When I think of bass drop, I think of the synth part on Heart's Magic Man where it slides down a few octaves and really lays the foundation for the bridge - musically. I also like the old THX intro....but it's an effect. It's cool, then it's over. Listening to 3 minutes of fwoomp, fwoomp, fwoomp at 30hz just doesn't do it for me.
While I like a good, round bottom (who doesn't, right?), I wouldn't pick a song to play based on that one criteria alone.
But then, there's a whole lot of stuff that I don't understand nowadays......and I'm actually ok with that....
However, I do lament the death of music. When I was playing in bands in high school, we were playing 70s rock (well, it was the 70s). And guess what? All the kid bands are still playing 70s rock. That tells me that there just hasn't been anything worth learning and performing for a long time. And that's sad.
Wow.....that was a little Saturday morning piece of introspection and commentary...eh? Oh well, back to the nursing home.....I've been wandering long enough.

I'm a 50yo fart that was a club DJ through the 80's & 90's. Back then there were around 6 genres of dance music. Now there are about 30 and most of it is instrumental only. I have to go through about two dozen versions of one song to find a decent remix of it and through about 1,000 songs just to find something with actual substance. Everyone and their brother that can afford a sequencer is putting out alleged "music".
