[QUOTE="IgnoreMe, post: 3079068, member: 551352"] most bass is usually recorded @ levels under -6db. basically all your doing is getting more power out of your amp, without clipping. for example, lets say song A has three bass notes. 35hz, 40hz, and 45hz 35hz is recorded @ -7 40hz is recorded @ -10 and 45hz is recorded @ -6 this means that the 45hz tone will max out yoru amplifier, without ever clipping. now if you used a 0db or a -3db test tone to set your gain. your missing out on extra power that is not being used up, because you used to high of a tone. does that make sense?
