SubBass overview in MainStage
SubBass generates frequencies below those of the original signal, resulting in artificial bass content. The simplest use for SubBass is as an octave divider, similar to octaver effect pedals for electric bass guitars. Whereas such pedals can only process a monophonic input sound source of clearly defined pitch, SubBass can be used with complex summed signals as well.
To add SubBass to your concert, choose Specialized > SubBass in a channel strip Audio Effect plug-in menu. See Add and remove plug-ins in MainStage.
SubBass creates two bass signals, derived from two separate portions of the incoming signal. These are defined with the High and Low parameters. See SubBass parameters.
WARNING: Using SubBass can produce extremely loud output signals. Choose moderate monitoring levels, and only use loudspeakers that are actually capable of reproducing the very low frequencies produced. Never try to force a loudspeaker to output these frequency bands with an EQ.
