Sorry I'm such a noob, but is there a simple way to add subsonic frequencies for a bass guitar, so that one doesn't hear them (as subsonic implies, heh), but rather feels them? Or am I in need of a special plugin /hardware to accomplish this task?

Thanks,

Rohan

They are probably there in the bass signal already. You just need a good subwoofer so you can hear/feel them. Trying to boost the frequencies below 40hz to where you can feel them on a smaller speaker system will just eat up your headroom if this is a full mix of music you are working on. The low lows take a lot of energy to get them loud enough to hear them, and 0 is as loud as you can go.

There are sub harmonic outboard processors you can buy. Dbx has made several different models over the years. This is another great application to use a custom preset I made in one of my Eventide's. You might try pitchshifing it down an octave with an effects processor or plug, assuming you can live the nasty arifacts they also make.
