Analysing Waves R Bass

[@capnzilog]

RBass is a simplified version of MaxxBass, which itself is Meir Shashoua's implementation of an enhancer for the Missing Fundamental Effect. The concept is that psychoacoustically, the ear can make out the fundamental of low pitches even if they've vanished (say, due to a small speaker) provided that harmonics (both odd and even) of the fundamental are still audible. The original intent was to make cheap small speakers sound closer to large ones, which is an honest effect even if it is, essentially, an illusion caused by the way our brain interprets sound.

[@phantomcraneflymusic]

[@capnzilog]

@@tryingtotryistrying Not for MaxxBass. Its patent may have expired by now, though.

[@Snedd99]

And to add to this, Dell licenced the technology from Waves for their laptops circa mid-2010s, and I have to say, it does a very good job at making the laptop speakers sound bigger than they are when paired with nicely-sculpted EQ

[@capnzilog]

@@Snedd99 Theme parks have been using this for their hidden outdoor path speakers as well.

[@ramspencer5492]

It doesn't sound as good when it's overdone on speakers and headphones that actually have the most frequencies available. Moderation just gives inadequate workers a bit more body down low. Done really want to be using R-bass personally..... Just getting some harmonics in the inadequate speaker range on bass and kick send to be enough, in my opinion. Just so it doesn't disappear completely on the phone or laptop. It's not worth trying to make it all articulate though. In my opinion.

[@HazyJ28]

If you made this a series, where you "investigate" different plugins (Waves or otherwise), I would be HOOKED.

[@EzyoMusic]

Agreed. I would like to see Dan's take on the classic Inflator, even though it's been pretty thoroughly copied aside from the band split at this point.

[@capnzilog]

@@EzyoMusic It's a saturating limiter, ala PSP's Vintage Warmer (only easier to use.)

[@georgwalt7978]

the investigation was very artificial and subjective, id pass

[@adisaikkonen]

As far as I understand, Waves RBass is essentially a "easy" version of Waves MaxxBass, which offers more granular and specific control over the algorithm. Sound on Sound has a good article on that, dating back to 1998: As far as I can tell, it's running a lowpass into distortion into compressor and a highpass to remove the fundamental from this parallel bus, lowpassing the distorted signal to remove highs, and then mixing with the original, with the original signal optionally attenuated by some amount. It was originally designed to make bass sound good on less-than-full-range speakers.

[@go-away-5555]

I remember the MaxxBass manual specifically mentioning sound effects meant for Theme Park Speakers as one use case for maxxbass. Opened my eyes at the time to how these plugins are useful for way more than just music production.

[@Beatsbasteln]

this reminds me of how i once tried to put reverb on a subbass, just because people claimed that is a thing one shouldn't do. so i did that and also put some distortion on it and it creates lots of cool harmonics, which i then highpassed so i could have the original bass in the lowend and badabim, badaboom, i had a sub-bass reverb that actually sounded good

[@hakkis1524]

That’s a cool trick indeed, just have to be careful reverb doesn’t get too muddy!

[@vminus7505]

this is my go to for techno production, add a delay before the low pass and get some extra rhythms for the rumble

[@nobodynoone2500]

It's cumbersome to pull off, but I've also done similar!

[@anthonyman8008]

@@vminus7505 what subbass? Wish I knew what the rest meant

[@Thefi5thdnb]

I usually always stick a reverb on my basses early on in the chain but only as like a short decay (usually under a second and tune the mix and low cut off ) and then when distortion is added it colours the wet signal and can give a nice release effect

I have to say: you’re probably the only one who is actually taking the time to look at Waves’s plugins objectively. I get tired of either the demonstrations that are interpreted as subtle shills or the accusations that Waves are just siphoning customers of money. Admittedly, I “grew up” with Waves. But at the same time, I like to know what these tools can and/or can’t do, especially in light of other ones that are used as often or even more than Waves. Nice job as always and looking forward to more.

[@jessegrisham]

One tip I have for Rbass is to use it to free up a little headroom while retaining the "feel" of the low bass. Put the fundamental frequency somewhere low and appropriate for the song, then take the original sub OUT, which high passes at that frequency, then turn intensity up until the perception of fullness is close. Finally, level match it using the output so you're comparing apples to apples. I find that if I have a low tuned kick with lots of sub, and a low tuned bass or bass synth, I'll use it on one or the other and it can help relieve your system some by not having all the sub frequencies compounding and eating up all your mix headroom. I tend to use it as a tool more than an effect, personally, but to each their own. Hope that helps.

[@artysanmobile]

I used RBass on a few broadcasts in mastering. Now I insert it on my drum n bass stem. It took me some time to realize it’s not a full time thing. It’s so stunning you don’t want to hear it too much. This and RVox are just astoundingly easy to use. Waves was on a huge roll then. I recall that I analyzed Max Bass endlessly in the beginning, trying to understand what it might be doing to my mixes. Once I figured out it was a ‘second speakers’ thing, it became much easier to use. In my main monitors, its effect was not so desirable but after tweaking with constant speaker switching it made perfect sense and my clients were happy without a clue, which is the ideal.

[@MixingGBP]

So many people I know put the thumbs down on RBass. It doesn't always work for me, but when it does, nothing else is quite like it. Especially useful for the small speaker bass trick: Run it on a parallel copy and mix it in. Works well.

[@esahm373]

He was trying exactly that (run RBass in parallel) and it sounded awful.

[@alephestudios]

In parallel? It doesn't remove the original signal completely so it's problematic to use it in parallel

[@LYSHEmusic]

@@jackalisland as well as Airwindows FathomFive ;)

[@cbrooks0905]

This just gave me an idea that might be worth trying. I’ve done this before when I wanted to boost somewhere with a specific eq but I didn’t really need a boost. I attenuated the area first with another eq. So, like with Lovend/rbass, you could slap on after an eq and just attenuate the low end on the eq with a shelf to the desired amount, or, as I would probably do(and will try next time I mix something) is to attenuate the low end on the eq enough to where you actually have to boost more on the Lovend/rbass. That might sound more fatter than the first method.

[@stu-po]

Works great for laptop, or small bluetooth speakers. And the same mix plays great on high end systems.

Thanks, Dan! There're also interesting plugin for lows called FathomFive by AirWindows. I think that it works very differently, but good thing is that it acts well in parallel.

[@cheater00]

Hey buddy, let me tell you what RBass does actually. It's much easier than you think, and you can definitely figure out how to copy it 1:1. So first of all it gets the input, they call it the "original signal". Then what it does is it puts a steep resonant low pass filter on that. The result is called the "original bass". Then, they do non-bass = original - original bass. That is the "high passed version" that you've seen. And when you turn up the slider for "original bass", that re-adds that low pass filtered signal. Now for the bass processing. They take the "original bass" signal and put it through a shaper, which timbre-wise is something that's kind of like a diode shaper. However, they probably use a polynomial shaper that exactly adds the 2nd and 3rd harmonic. Let's call that "the harmonics". So what you can get out of RBass is "the harmonics" + "high passed version" + "original bass" * A where A is some number between 0 and, what, 1? Does it go above unity gain? If you want to analyze what is REALLY happening in RBass, you have to feed it a sinewave at a bass frequency, and look at the sonogram. That will tell you everything that's happening in the curve shaping stage. Enjoy!

[@distortion_plus]

RBass is one of my absolute essential plugins. I don’t know scientifically how it works but I hear it as “inventing” bass underneath the material around the frequency you specify. Anything that I feel doesn’t have the low end present to boost with a normal EQ I just create it with RBass - thin vocal, 808s, bass synths/guitars. Great video.

[@joechapman8208]

That's not what you see in analysis. It shows no signs of resynthesising lower low end at all (and if it did, you could filter down with a brickwall filter until only this area was left). What you're hearing is just the illusion where more harmonics trick your brain into thinking that it hears deep bass better, which is just a product of saturation.

[@davidpereira4455]

I've been watching your videos for a while and man oh man, you and Michael White (Mixing with Mike) contributed so much to how i approach mixing now! Thank you so much! Would love to see your take on Tone Projects Basslane Pro! Feels like to get the most out of this plugin requires an experienced guy to run his tests on it.

[@DistrictSoundLab]

RBass is legendary. On rap mixes use it on 808s, coincidentally along with saturn2 but the former is to add sub and latter to add harmonics to help it cut

[@kelainefes]

Using RBass to add sub? it doesn't do that, it adds harmonics to the sub frequencies.

[@DistrictSoundLab]

@@kelainefes it sure does that for me every time

[@greedokenobi3855]

@@DistrictSoundLab it gives an illusion that the sub gets more prominent but what you’re really hearing are added harmonics, and those sit in higher frequencies than the fundamental. On smaller speakers you hear less sub/ or not at all (depending on how small) and low sine waves are quick to get too low for ‘small’ speakers to reproduce and that’s why saturation helps to make ‘808s’ (more) audible on small speakers and more prominent in general. So kelainefes is right, it doesn’t add bass, but yes it does make it more prominent. You can use both Rbass and Saturn to add harmonics.

[@DistrictSoundLab]

@@greedokenobi3855 I use rbass to create the feeling of more sub and saturn2 to bring out more bite in higher frequencies

[@greedokenobi3855]

@@DistrictSoundLab Nice, so if I understand you correct you apply a bit of rbass’ saturation to make the sub feel/seem more prominent and then have use saturn to saturate whatever/in your case higher freqs with saturn which gives you multiband distortion/saturation options. Sounds like you have a solid go-to method there!

[@SianaGearz]

I recall there used to be a patent for small-speaker bass optimisation back all the way in the 90s, it should be well and truly lapsed by now, it was issued to Philips or one of their connected companies, i think. It went like this, isolate sub-bass, then run a trickle integrator, resetting it on every zero-crossing of the isolated signal, resulting in a sort of wonky sawtooth with the waveform rising from each zero crossing. Then gently highpass the input to attenuate the most offensive sub-bass, lowpass the synthesized sawtooth, and mix. I don't think the technique as described is complete, since if you had little bass, it will still synthesize a lot and overwhelm it, there has to be some sort of gain or filter control there as well for the synthesized portion. The technique is intended to run completely mixed music through it, as a reproduction device feature that salvages some perceived quality out of limited hardware.

You might gain more insight into R-Bass by looking at MaxxBass, which is the more elaborate version of the same idea. As I understand it, it is indeed low-passing the original signal at the crossover frequency you specify, and the "original bass" toggle switches that in and out. The rest of the signal is synthesized and controlled by the intensity, I assume. You can also look up US patent #US5930373A, "Method and system for enhancing quality of sound signal" which is Waves' patent for the process. I have never found anything to truly replace MaxxBass, personally.

Dan, I love your videos and was very excited when this one popped up. However, I fear you've missed a significant part of what RBass does. In my somewhat limited testing (couldn't figure out Waves vs Plugin Doctor) I noticed that it wasn't just harmonics being added. The frequency selected in the plugin seems to be synthesized, whether it's present in the original sound or not. Even when it's below the fundamental of the sound source. It might be a result of resonant filters on extraneous noise, but mostly, it seems to me that RBass' processing is somewhat more complicated than we think. BTW my freqency selection is fixed at 42. Mostly because Alan Meyerson recommended that, but I guess it really is the answer to life, the universe and everything.
