Well as promised, I made a bass boosting tutorial for you (:
Audacity: http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/audacity-win-unicode-1.3.12.exe
LAME MP3 encoder: http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/Lame_v3.98.2_for_Audacity_on_Windows.exe
Whats up Youtube! Today I will show you
how to bass boost like me (:
You will need Audacity and LAME to export song as Mp3 (download links in
description) and a song you want to bass
boost. I will use How Low by Ludacris.
1) So first step is to drag the song you
wanna bass boost into audacity 3 time. I
have already done that.
Track 1 will be pure bass, Track 2 will be
kicks, and Track 3 will be the treble.
Track 1:
2) Select track 1 and click on Tracks/Stereo
track to mono.
3) Select Effect/Low Pass Filter. Change
Rolloff to 48 dB and cutoff to 80.
4) Select Effect/Amplify/Ok.
5) Select Effect/Equalization. Set the Values
to the following:
20hZ - 6.7db
25hZ - 7.9 db
31hz - 9 db
40hz - 10.1 db
50hz - 10db
63hz - 9.8db
80hz - 7.5
and then hit OK
6) Select Effect/Bass Boost. Change
Frequency to 60 and Boost to 1.
7) Repeat step 3.
8) Change the gain to about -2 if you want
minimul distortion.
Track 2:
9) Select Track 2. Click on Tacks/Stereo
Track to Mono
10) Select Effect/High Pass Filter.
Change Rolloff to 48 and Cutoff to 80
11) Select Effect/Low Pass Filter. Change
rolloff to 48 and cutoff to 100.
12) Change the gain to anywhere between
5dB and 8dB. This is totally up to you. I'll
put mine at 8dB.
Track 3:
13) Select Track 3.
Select Effect/High Pass Filter.
Change rolloff to 48 and cutoff to 100.
14) Select Effect/Amplify.
I will set the New Peak Amplitude to -5, but
you can set if to whatever you want. This
step is completely optional if you dont
wanna lower the treble volume.
So now that everything is done lets listen to
the whole thing! Sounds pretty good (:
Don't mind the bad quality Audacity plays
when your playing it. Once you export it, it
will sound WAY better.
The Last step is to export is as MP3. Select
file/Export File. Click options. Change
Bitrate Mode to Constant. I like setting the
quality to 320 kbs, but you can set it to
whatever you want to. Channel mode can
be either or. Your gonna want to add "(Bass
Boosted)" at the end of the file name so you
dont get confused.
But remember that every song is different,
so you might have to tweak the steps a lil
bit to get the desired boost.
Well thank you for watching. Dont forget to
comment, rate and subscribe (:
how do you set it so 6.7 db in step 5 because mine goes from 6 to 7
