What Fundamental Bass does
The plugin is built around a frequency split. An adjustable crossover feeds two independent modules, so the low end can be compressed and imaged without giving up the midrange excitement of the bass line. The low module carries twin compressors, stereo imaging adjustment and mono compatibility controls, and the high module adds grit that the developer describes as enhancing natural harmonics while keeping the bounce of the bass.
The modules are colour-coded, with green for the low band and yellow for the high band, which makes it easy to see which range is being edited. A Low Module Balance dial sets the compression level with up to -60 dB of attenuation, and make-up gain is applied automatically. A Flatten dial moves the low module toward a more aggressive compressor for evening out the dynamics of bouncy bass lines, and the two compression types can be tried against each other while the groove is kept. A High Module Balance dial introduces gentle compression, and a Drive dial adds tube-style saturation at low levels that becomes distortion when pushed harder.
Fundamental Bass is available as VST2, AU and AAX builds, with Windows and 64-bit macOS listed as operating systems, and the release circulates as a crack and repack for those formats.
Key features
- Frequency split processing. An adjustable frequency split feeds two separate modules, one for the low band and one for the high band, so each range can be treated on its own.
- Low module compression and imaging. The low module combines twin compressors with imaging adjustment, clarity and mono compatibility controls for the lower end of the bass.
- Balance and flatten controls. The Low Module Balance dial sets compression up to -60 dB of attenuation with automatic make-up gain, and the Flatten dial shifts toward a more aggressive compressor.
- High module grit and drive. The high module uses a gentle compression balance dial, and the Drive dial adds tube-style saturation at low levels that becomes distortion at higher settings.
- Colour-coded module display. Green marks the low module and yellow marks the high module, so the active range is visible at a glance during editing.
- Resizable interface. The user interface can be resized to suit the screen and the layout of the host session.
Compatibility
Fundamental Bass runs as VST2, AU and AAX on Windows 8 and macOS 10.13 or later in 64-bit builds, with native support for Apple Silicon processors listed. Pro Tools is the host named by the developer, and a trial version is available.
Who it is for
The plugin suits mix engineers and producers who need to control bass dynamics at the mixing stage, and sound designers who want saturation and distortion on the low and high bands separately.
