Is this bassy? (speaker test)
Added 2018-08-24 01:18:04 +0000 UTCI filmed this as the audio department was doing their daily walk-through of their speakers. In the same way we do a daily light test and placement they do their audio tests where each group of speakers is used to play a section of music while they walk round the auditorium and check they are all outputting sound.
In this case it was the test of the bass bins under the stands and the track was very bassy, so it was just the thumping bass you tend to get as you approach a fairground or carnival. But I've not got big speakers while travelling to know if my phone even caught the bass.
How does it sound on big speakers?

Yeah, there's a rumble in the background, but it's weak compared to your voice. I guess the phone doesn't have much response that low.

2018-08-26 11:32:53 +0000 UTCSadly they don't use the variable pitch blade rotary subwoofers. Just traditional big-box woofers.

2018-08-25 14:22:26 +0000 UTCI could tell there was bass but your phone filtered it imo. Say do they use any rotary subwoofers ? IDK if they are a thing in live sound or not.

2018-08-24 16:45:34 +0000 UTCDecent headphones on: I hear some "whomping" but more than that I hear the phone's automatic gain circuit cycling. The microphones seem to be able to pick it up just enough to trigger AGC. Otherwise, all I hear is rattling structures.

2018-08-24 16:33:39 +0000 UTCMy Craptop pc did not reproduce the base, I could just hear a tiny bit of pulsing I think. It is not a problem for me just a bit of feedback for you and if it helps anyone else. Lenovo G505s speakers(Conexant SmartAudio HD)

2018-08-24 14:26:22 +0000 UTCSorry Clive, no bass in there, my sub woofer was barely troubled at all. :(
2018-08-24 14:04:03 +0000 UTCBarely hear it and Ive got a 8" woofer on my end.
2018-08-24 12:31:46 +0000 UTCNo bass at all BC, sorry.
2018-08-24 10:10:41 +0000 UTCSorry not much through that setup Clive.

2018-08-24 09:52:30 +0000 UTCI get the impression that quite a few cellphones treat any very low frequencies they hear as spurious/wind noise. I've found that IOS devices are rather more permissive/smarter (certainly in my experience when it comes to bootlegging concerts etc) but they all do a bit of it. On which topic; The Zoom H4N: <a href="https://www.zoom-na.com/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/zoom-h4n-pro-handy-recorder" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.zoom-na.com/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/zoom-h4n-pro-handy-recorder</a> It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

2018-08-24 04:58:13 +0000 UTCzero bass in this video so sad wish you could capture it
2018-08-24 02:20:54 +0000 UTCBig bass doesn't fit through the little holes in phones.

2018-08-24 02:13:01 +0000 UTCDamn! I'd love to convey the sound I hear. It's super-low whumping bass from huge under-stand bass bins on beefy digital amplifiers.

2018-08-24 02:06:15 +0000 UTCMy sub is -3dB@18Hz, and there is just about zero low frequency information in this clip.
2018-08-24 02:02:00 +0000 UTCI have twin 15'' bass cabs they did not thump on this one

Richard Boyce
2018-08-24 01:57:31 +0000 UTCSounded like marching Orcs to me.
Jim
2018-08-24 01:32:33 +0000 UTCI... think it might be visible, though.

2018-08-24 01:29:47 +0000 UTCits there... but yeah phone didnt capture it as much as I am sure it was in person.
William Huckaba
2018-08-24 01:28:35 +0000 UTCNo Bass... But that might have to do playing it back on my phone’s built in speakers. Edit: Even with headphones not a lot.

2018-08-24 01:23:58 +0000 UTCTad bit of bass, otherwise crisp with headphones.
2018-08-24 01:22:49 +0000 UTCYeah, I think your phone let us down on this one...no bass here either.
Bill Browning
2018-08-24 01:22:40 +0000 UTCNot really much bass at all, even on my Chunky Speakers. Sounds like someone is bashing a dustbin lid in the background.
