It uses advanced pitch-tracking technology to generate subharmonics in perfect tune with any monophonic signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere other bass enhancers offer static frequency boosting or rudimentary pitch shifting, SubCulture is built on a fully adaptive architecture. The entire processing chain aligns to incoming pitch information to create the cleanest, deepest low-end to date. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMix with incredible low end\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubCulture combines three pitch-adaptive enhancement engines. Each can be dialed in independently, at any octave, tracking along with your bass notes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSub Layer blends in a pitch-perfect, highly tweakable subharmonic layer of the input signal up to two octaves below or above the original. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoot Boost is a pitch-tracking EQ process that follow the fundamental frequency of the bass to emphasize the key frequency area of each note. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonance is a tuned parallel filter network modeled after a classic analog design to add warmth and harmonics while accentuating the tracked pitch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete processing suite for bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe designed SubCulture to be the only plugin you'll need to put on a bass. It brings all the necessary processes to create a rich low-end foundation from any input source. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the three bass enhancement engines are dialed in, use the analog-modeled saturation and compression effects to add harmonics, punch, and glue. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, go to the mix section to balance the low-end frequency distribution and apply global high-pass filtering and bass mono conversion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick the gear icons on any effect to unlock deep tweaking options. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdd layers to any source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn unexpected outcome during months of beta testing was that users reported great excitement around unexpected use cases, such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBring a vocal front and center: Dial in a clean sub-octave for thickness, or a 5th for a harmony, while using Root Boost and Resonance to emphasize the melody. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduce monstrous synth and guitar leads: Add SubCulture's three pitch-tracking engines at different octaves to dominate the spectrum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBring out the melody in a bass line: Maybe your bass doesn't need more low-end, but more melodic emphasis. Add all engines at the root to emphasize the bass line melody in a crowded mix. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-oscillating effects: Add a 5th or 7th and dial in screaming \"top layers\" far above the root note for experimental effects that work well on drums and synths. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuickstart Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand all the features: Hit the gear icon in the top left of the interface and turn on tooltips. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprove the pitch tracking: Click the tuning fork next to the global gear icon to calibrate the pitch tracking. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet deeper control of the effect engines: The gear icons in the top-right of each effect module open deep tweak menus. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnjoy bass in every color: Go to the settings menu to dial in your own default color scheme for SubCulture, which can be saved as the default. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarning about polyphonic tracks: SubCulture pitch tracks monophonic signals like bass, vocals, drum hits, etc. If you want to use it on a polyphonic track (such as a master), use the MIDI feature to control the pitch via MIDI input. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt's not a synthesizer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome bass enhancers will add a synthesized sub-layer to your track, which can result in a anything from phase issues to an unnatural sounding low end. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of SubCulture's novel achievements is that it effortlessly generates deep subharmonic content form any input audio through a chain of proprietary processes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat means you can use SubCulture on sources like acoustic bass or vocals and get low-end presence the original didn't have while still maintaining its natural timbre. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baby Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48807997931769,"sku":"1358-4352","price":179.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/PRIMARY-SubCulture-BabyAudio-DarkThemeFinal.png?v=1786484084","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/baby-audio-subculture","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
