Ok, I'm not sure how many people here use FL, but I was kinda curious about the Fruity Bass Boost. I don't ever use it but I was trying to see if anyone knew how much bandwidth there was on each frequency you were trying to boost. Like for example, say I wanted to boost 60 Hz, how much of the frequencies around it would it boost as well? I only ask this cuz there's no way to adjust the bandwidth on it. Does it boost just exactly at that frequency you select? Sorry if it's a silly question.

i really honestly dont know, dude. you would be able to tell if it was boosting at one exact frequency, believe me. but in the help file it doesnt say anything about that. maybe it's not boosting the frequency in a conventional way?

just sep up teh fl bass boost and put an analyzer right behind it... switch the boost on and off and youll see which frequency is boosted... better way to boost would be to use an eq, the fl bass boost does nothin else

Good idea. Yeah, as I've stated I never use it and I don't really have any intentions of using it as I don't have any real reason to. I was more just wanting to know for my knowledge. I'm just wondering why FL included a parametric equalizer which can boost at the same frequency and can be more fine tuned on each frequency.

FL Bass boost plugin is a plugin which adds a little extra to the bass frequencies. Now, I analyzed it with a spectrum analyzer, and here is what I got:
when set on 80 Hz (kick freq) and without touching the Amount (about 70%)
the bandwith is about 50Hz + and -, about the frequency you have set.
Look at the pic:
the horisontal green line shows the peak of the bass line without the bass boost, and its about 75Hz, -21dB.
the vertical green line presents the frequency of the bass boost, about 80Hz.
On the second pic you can notice dramatic increase in the peak, which is about 6dB above the peak without the bass boost plugin.
I also draw a red line which represents the rest of the spectrum up to 1000Hz, and you can see that there is no difference.
The yellow lines represent the sound wave immediately up in the frequencies to the peak - the second pic shows that there is some increase, but very low - 3dB or so.
So the main increase is from 30Hz to 130Hz. Considering the frequency of the plugin was set up on 80Hz, that gives +50Hz and -50Hz increase around the set up frequency.
There, hope that helped

essencial that's what bassboost is, an eq for just the bottem end. PSP MixBass works good also for warming the bottem-end.
for a tight, warm, bottem-end.
...
sounds wrong.

thanks Muad'Dib for the analysis. What a pointless plugin really if I say so myself. Maybe it's just there for memory saving or just people who don't wanna fuss with deep bass adjustments. But thanks again.
