I am guessing I would be in the minority here, but I would enjoy hearing Yoko Ono and Nolly Getgood getting into it, for sure.
Ah-ha, I did not know that... So "djent" is to black metal as "un-tis" is to club music?
I definitely wouldn't say that. Black metal and djent are pretty far away from each other.
tsk tsk, djent /= black metal. But generally speaking, yes. The word comes from the sound of the detuned rhythmic guitar playing.
I thought it was dumb at first, but it's actually kind of funny that it's come to describe a whole genre.
The Bag End goes low, but efficiency drops off really fast on the low end. The cabs are small and sealed. Below the resonance of the cabinet (80 hz or so), EQ is applied to counter the natural roll off that occurs below resonance. In the case of the Bag End ELF cabs, the slope of the boost is 12db per octave. So you wind up with a 12 db boost at 40 hz, and 24 db boost at 20 hz. The Bag End processor also uses a moving high pass filter that is calibrated to move up when you approach the excursion limits of the speaker. Basically you only get the full extension at relatively low volume levels, unless you have a bunch of them. I had four 18s and the original ELF processor with an indicator that shows when the variable high pass is in action. IMHO they sound quite nice, and the action of the moving high pass filter is relatively transparent with normal program material until the speakers are pushed hard. The action of the filters is very apparent when the program material has lots of content below 80 hz.
The Servo-Drives were another animal. Capable of punishing levels of sub bass.
Shows what I know. Are there any youtube videos that explain the difference that do not involve a bespectacled teenager screaming in his bedroom?
Black metal generally has satanic/occult/old folklore themes, and focuses much more on raw emotion than technical execution.
Djent is basically what happens when angry jazz musicians also like metal.
okcrum
in your chest
Some of the modern 3 way designs (Greenboy, Audiokenisis, etc.) may, but even standard E is somewhere around 40Hz and bass is regularly high-passed around 50Hz live and on recordings.
You're hearing the first harmonic, and your brain "fills in" the fundamental frequency
The first harmonic IS the fundamental.
P.S. He really is an annoying little twerp, ain't he? (Tho' that is his intent, I reckon.)
Some more low f# content
I tried it a couple years back. Low A is plenty low enough for me. We actually cover a song that originally was low g#(mudshovel by staind) we play it half step higher and no one seems to be able to tell the difference lol. If you have good tone a b string standard or dropped to A is plenty low enough imo.

Ha!
Right you are, seems like my brain combined "first octave above" with "second harmonic": I was obviously typing too fast
