hi all,
for which it concerns the layered kicks or, better, layered low frequencies:
the fact is of course, due to phasing issues but, for me, the most
important thing is the "batiment" or better the beatings waves that
happen when 2 low frequencies are played togheter in the same time.
An example: let's say I play 2 freqs, 35Hz and 37Hz, what's happens?
Our hearing system will listen a 36Hz (the average freq) but in a strange
way, in fact I'll listen that freq with variations in amplitude and these
variations will be function of time of half second or better 500 ms, more or
less (37-35= 2Hz; this corresponds to 500ms).
The amplitude of that freq will vary (max and min) every 500ms, and this
is, for me, the possible cause deriving from fluctuations occured for 2 layered
kicks. Of course, this happens also for middle and high freqs but in this case
the amplitude variations are so fast that for our hearing system are inaudible.
My english is bad I know, but comments will be welcome.
