BASS!

[dualazmak]

Oh,,, Thank you so much for your quick analysis!

I often use this video clip for tests in my mulitchannel multi-amplifier project, including the recently (provisionally) completed system with L&R sub-woofer YST-SW1000.

It is very nice to see that the sound contains nice 15 Hz - 40 Hz wonderful pipe+hall sound!

Totally forgot about my favorite movie bass tester...

Between 20-40 sec into opening....
Has 5 notes...30hz, 25hz, 20hz, 15hz, 10hz

Wow, nice find! This really gets the bones rumbling.

This is a track that I've used for years - it has probably the best bass extension I've heard in a pipe organ recording.

Most of SHM will be bass heavy

 

[Propheticus]

Well, you're right about that:

Funky pattern with lines every 2.5Hz or so. Looks like aliasing, but doesn't all house/techno?

 

[Propheticus]

Case in point, some funky disco house:

One of my favorite electronic tracks features a ridiculous amount of bass:
HTRK - Chinatown Style

Edit: Spectogram:

Thanks for the suggestion, liking their stuff!

Kruder & Dorfmeister - Bug Powder Dust

The whole album is quite bass-heavy and very good. One of my all time favorites and I'm not even a fan of the genre.
There are lots of really bass-heavy tracks posted (thank you all), but not so many that one can really use as test tracks: i.e. stuff that sounds very good/enjoyable so you can easily play it 1000x over many years

Someone mentioned Blade Runner 2049 and measured a few songs. I think the song 2049 not yet measured. Here is my measurements for left channel of the song "2049":

Is there any program that can scan an Apple Lossless music collection and find the tracks with low bass?

 

[Pdxwayne]

Curious, anyone of you able to take advantage of below 10hz signals in your own setup? If so, what do you have?

Handy hint: When examining bass with Audacity's spectrogram functions, set the window size to the maximum supported. (32768 or 65536.)

Oh, I forgot about the window size. Thx!

Here is second half of the "2049" song at 65536. I wonder how accurate are tones below 20 Hz ....

 

[AGLeS]

Any classic rock songs worth mentioning?

 

[Propheticus]

Perhaps The Chain by Fleetwood mac?
Bass from the ~3 minute mark plays at 41Hz which is the lowest a normally tuned bass guitar plays (E string played open).

Can someone post a spectral of this track?

Here you go.

(set dynamic range to 96dB, since the input is 16-bit):

My original suggestion of 60dB scale was for the graph being clearly readable and not showing inaudible noise. Input bits have nothing to do with it.

 

[Propheticus]

I went from the default 120dB scale (no argument given to SoX) to 96dB and did not see your suggestion.
To me it felt weird using a scale broader than what's possible in the material you're analysing.

I see your reasoning and perhaps reducing the scale (increasing the 'contrast') even more is indeed a good idea.
