About the Bass Booster

The bass booster adds weight to the low end with a single low-shelf filter: pick how much to boost (up to +15 dB) and the corner frequency where the lift begins (60–120 Hz). A low corner lifts only the deep sub-bass for rumble and power; a higher corner brings up more of the low end for a fuller, warmer body. The preview updates as you drag, and stereo is preserved on export.

It's the fast way to give a thin recording more punch or make a track hit harder on headphones and earbuds. The catch is restraint: past roughly +9 dB the low end can turn flabby or push the file toward clipping, so a moderate, clean boost beats a heavy one. If you want to shape the mids and highs too, reach for the full graphic equalizer — the bass booster is the same low-shelf filter, just focused on the bottom. More on the low end in what audio frequencies are.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much bass boost is too much?

The intensity slider goes up to +15 dB, but you rarely want it near the top. A boost of +3 to +6 dB adds noticeable weight without trouble; past about +9 dB you risk overloading the low end, muddying the mix, or pushing the file into clipping on loud passages. If it starts to sound flabby or distorted, back it off — a cleaner moderate boost almost always sounds better than a heavy one.

What does the corner frequency do?

It sets where the boost begins. A low corner like 60 Hz lifts only the deep sub-bass, adding rumble and power without touching the punch of the kick. A higher corner like 120 Hz brings up more of the low end, giving a fuller, warmer body to the whole track. Lower corners are cleaner on bass-heavy music; higher ones add warmth to thin recordings.

Is the bass booster just an EQ?

It's a focused one — a single low-shelf filter, the same kind of filter the low band of the full equalizer uses, dedicated to the low end with a simple intensity and frequency control. If you want to shape the mids and highs too, the graphic equalizer gives you the whole spectrum; the bass booster is the fast way to just add low-end weight.
