...give you the infamous "punch" which I'm now starting to suspect is non-linearity.
I have been wondering that for a while now. It seems to me that over time, the bass in music has been turned up to the point where it is possibly over emphasized in a lot of music.
When I was a young lad, I don't remember any "kick-in-the-chest" bass. Well, maybe just a little in the local Disco .
Thats where I think all this whump whump stuff got started.
It also seems that a LOT of people really like this punch.
