[QUOTE="thch, post: 1376723, member: 562032"] reading the patent on the epicenter, that is exactly what it is designed not to do, nor is it how it works. furthermore the epicenter and maxxbass are not the same thing. the epicenter (and maxxbas) is DSP based. it takes samples of the song, and searches for higher frequencies (likely using FFT) that probably indicate a bass note is being played. it also double checks to see if these same cues are consistant with vocals that might be playing. if the midrange is not consistant with vocals, it adds or reinforces a low frequency fundamental that might have been "lost". this is often called "subharmonic synthesis". Maxxbass does the almost the exact opposite. it takes deep bass that exists in the song, then converts it into higher frequency bass in such a way that the ear is fooled into preceiving the lower notes. (edit, i may be thinking of another product with a very similar name) [/QUOTE]
