I'm sure it could help just to have as reference though. I believe my D8's go down to 44Hz. Then I check my k702's which supposedly go down to 10Hz I think. Then software like Lives eq 8 and izotope ozone. I think it's possible to get it down to a mathematical science visually in the plugin rather than a subjective opinion. Also experience helps so now you have some. <br><br>I'm not good at any of this shit yet so that just my opinion. <br><br>Sent from my iPhone<br><br>> On Jun 8, 2015, at 8:50 AM, K9 Kai Niggemann <kai@kainiggemann.com> wrote:<br>> <br>> Hi everyone, <br>> <br>> in the last weeks I created a soundtrack for a huge mapped projection on the city hall of Bochum, a 70 m wide projection "screen".
