| Jan 28, 2016 at 16:18 | comment | added | Нет войне | @Dave or to put it another way, from fourier.eng.hmc.edu/e101/lectures/Fundamental_Frequency.pdf : The fundamental frequency of a signal is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of all the frequency components contained in a signal, and, equivalently, the fundamental period is the least common multiple (LCM) of all individual periods of the components. Does this not basically mean you can have a waveform of a given frequency without it actually having a component at that frequency? | |
| Jan 28, 2016 at 15:41 | comment | added | Нет войне | @Dave If you go to your favourite audio editor (Audacity, say) and generate a 200Hz wave and a 300Hz wave, and sum them, will you not see a waveform whose frequency is 100Hz? | |
| Jan 28, 2016 at 14:11 | comment | added | Dave | If the signal is periodic with a given frequency then there is energy at that frequency; this is a statement of physics. It is true that there doesn't need to be anything oscillating at, say, 27Hz in order for us to perceive that low pitch; this is a statement of psychoacoustics. The way you've written the first paragraph, to me at least, describes this in a way that confuses things. | |

| Jan 28, 2016 at 12:44 | comment | added | Нет войне | @cab00t you don't necessarily need to filter out low frequencies - the main point of my answer is that they might not actually be strongly present in the first place. Even if they are, it may be fine to just accept that they won't be heard on many systems (and check that your mix still has enough 'mid and high bass' to work on such systems). On the other hand, people often do filter out low frequencies, e.g. to give the recording medium more headroom, or to stop amplifiers wasting watts amplifying sounds that the speaker won't produce well. Don't worry about it until it's a problem! | |
| Jan 28, 2016 at 12:24 | comment | added | cab00t | So it's probably ok to filter everything below 55Hz and listen to overtones instead? I am new to this. I see serious metal guys in studios using 8 inch speakers, so it's probably the case? But, since you mentioned a frequency analyzer, does that instead mean fixing it visually and having it there anyway? Or is 27.5 too low and I should just filter it out? | |
