Devious Machines released Bass Focus

Bass Focus is an advanced low frequency enhancer for mixing and mastering. With Bass Focus, your bass will sound fuller, louder, and more powerful, without losing its original character or identity. And on small speakers, Bass Focus reveals low end which would otherwise be lost, ensuring your music sounds great everywhere.

Enhance Your Mix

Bass Focus can enhance individual instruments or an entire mix. It adds power to 808s, solidifies kick drums, thickens synths and bass guitars, and much more. At the mastering stage, it can be used to improve mix translation and presence, thicken low end, or recover headroom in mixes with too much sub.

Generate Harmonics

Bass Focus generates harmonics which are higher in frequency than the original bass, but are perceived as part of the same sound. This makes the original low frequency sound louder, increasing perceived presence and power. This psychoacoustic effect works even when the original frequency isn’t audible, such as when listening on smaller speakers.

Precise Control

Bass Focus’ unique algorithm goes beyond simple saturation, generating clean, controllable harmonics which are independent of input level. It offers precise control over the frequencies affected, the balance of even and odd harmonics, and the richness of the generated spectrum. Three output faders allow the clean, harmonic and top end signals to be balanced independently, and a helpful spectrum display offers visual feedback.
