EQ Vs Filter

[steevio]

hey mark,
turns out it's the actual frequency of the earth spinning on its axis (1 day, which is actually a few minutes shorter than a calender day)

jeez we're a couple of hippies, do you wear socks with your sandals ?

gotta love it though! heheh

I'd like however, to take the opportunity to point out to others though that is isn't just some new age hocus pocus (as unfortunately I might well have given the impression of it being). I think there is real potential for taking this often self indulgent business of making tunes into very exciting and physically useful places. A meeting point between science and individual expression, if you will.

For example, here (http://www.lunarsight.com/freq.htm) is a big list of some of the known frequencies and some of the ways they can be put to use in a range of settings, for example, how to excite certain parts of the brain, and thus how to take people on a useful journey through different states of awareness (no 'brown note' though, heheh). There is a lot of rubbish I think, and the guy's referencing can be quite confusing, but it's well worth a look.

To use the inaudible frequencies (0-20hz), via some kind of binaural thingamy, you can use 2 different synth parts hard panned left and right detuned by the appropriate number of hertz.

Personally, I got really exited about all this when I first read it, but have been too lazy to get cracking and put it to some decent use. maybe now's the time!

I hope this is useful to someone.

Wow this track lost its course but in a interesting and good way!

Last few posts confused the hell out of me tho!

I dont understand one thing, if i use those inaudible frequencies in a track and then convert it to mp3, wont those frequencies be lost? or am i missing something here?
In the mastering stage in most cases frequencies under 30-40 hz get rolled off, above 20 hz rolled off also.
And if a speaker cant even produce that kind of frequency (1 hz...) does it make any sense doing it?
Please help me out understand this thing, it sounds interesting but still raises alot of questions.

Yeah sorry, my explanation of that part was terrible.

But for example, say you have a constant signal of 440hz coming out of one speaker, and 460hz out of the other, because of the way the brain processes sound, it will treat the difference between the two as a frequency on it's own.

i can't explain why exactly, but here are some people who can...

I'd also like to apologise for giving the impression that making music without thinking about all this crap is not useful. What I meant to say is that this is another way it can be made useful.

This is a new and exciting thing for me thanks for bringing this topic up!

how can you measure the the frequency of a bass kick? Like to figure out what key it is in?

*edit*

For that matter, what about all your drums how and what key should they be tuned to?
