what frequency range gives bass the most physicality?

what is the point (generally) at which its counterproductive to have the bass so low? what can most systems handle?

What do u mean by physiclity? Are you asking which frequency makes your chest rattle the most?, If so that frequency is generally 63hz.
There is no point boosting below 40hz.

i'm wondering how low in frequency range dubstep tracks typically tend to go...

There is no typical its all programme dependent

when mastering, is there a point at which the low end is cut off?

No,Same answer as above

and do dubstep tracks on vinyl or CD contain sound in the infrasonic range - i.e. below 20hz or so?

Sometimes
But remember most club sound systems do not go lower than 40hz

thanks jason

I was playing one of my tunes at my mates house the other night and his system just didn't register my bass, but I produce on shitty little computer speakers, even so the bass is still audible at home, I don't get it!

In terms of producing I think its all about range, bass isn't just about any one frequency its about a range, sometimes through seperate sounds, sometimes through harmonies.

I rinse squarebass with the filter turned down on nearly every tune though! Should find other ways but I think it is quite diverse with filters, lfo's etc, I would love to hear what my tunes sound like on a valve or something though. Anyone got any tips for other methods of generating bass?

@jason.

could you recommend a plug-in that analyses the low end acurately?

^^ a sine wave sweep from 20 hz to 100hz over the course of 20 seconds

just so you get the idea of what hz your speakers can pick up

exactly what I was lookin for Ramadan, merci beacoup !

A good pair of speaker and your ears,I do not recomend using a spectrum analyser because it will make you lazy.

about 40-50hz is a good place to have it, i think less than that and a lot of speakers can't handle it and so you won't hear/feel it. i've been told that club speakers don't go down that far either but maybe that's wrong.

thats exactly what i meant, thanks

does anybody know how low the soundsystem @ forward goes?
