bass is bass, hardcore = 1 second for each kick, they keep compressing the air inside a sub box, and more air comes out then sine wave bass if people can make bass in dubstep etc which are normally 45hz because its middleclass music and they don`t own a sub box
and the one after has more of an emphasis on lower frequencies, but both are awesome as fuck:>

hardcore kicks are engineered so distortion is on the mid range, it keeps the middleclass away from turning it into a gay scene like they did with drum & bass, trap, dubstep etc and all start crying about dynamic and 3 note melodies give you soul
Might as well throw in some more shameless self promotion. Even though I'm not that active when it comes to making music n sets, good music never gets old :>
Oh get real dude. The point of using WAV over MP3 only becomes more useful when the producer and even more important the people behind the mastering dont completely rape it by making it louder.
The average electronic producer does not even use very high quality samples to warrant getting uncompressed audio files. This is especially true when it comes to hardcore/hardstyle/dubstep and many many more EDM genres.
I will say that WAV is obviously superior, and FLAC keeps practically all of that quality at half the file size, but for the vast majority of people who arent audiophiles (and lack decent equipment) a 320Kbps CBR MP3 will be more than good enough.
I cant even listen to most radio stations these days. The compression they use is through the roof. It just drains my energy because everything is as loud as possible to make it sound good on crappy audio systems, sigh =/
At least in most of my sets I try to mix down without any compression at all, only a limiter for the few times there are some spikes in the middle of a mixover. Even so, that techno set from my first post has so many tracks in it where the waveform practically looks like a block, the loudness war is retarded lol.
people who use samples compress them so you loose even more frequencies then when they downloaded them in a compressed format
then after all the multi-band compression, gain, EQ`ing, ozone preset to master the track, and brought as a compressed mp3, the final track sounds like a wma from dial up days when played on a seperates stereo or a PA system
so you need the wav for full loss less flac any chance you can buy them
if mans are going to make your electronic music, they learn to use vst`s and automate everything on a real PC and not some crappy little worthless laptop, and then all donate me some money to buy a mcx8000, cos i told them all how to make tracks the real way
if you have a real seperates amp you will need source direct button enabled, so the sound is`nt changed in any way, midi hifi and walkman etc have 10 built in EQ`s to make itunes tracks sound decent in headphones
it depends who engineered it to begin with, angerfist is`nt the best at making kicks, and layering bass, still the mans only 30 odd years old, he uses too many samples for most of his tracks to sound good
in hardcore and dubstep, theres a massive difference in quality of tracks in the shops with top end hardware engineered tracks and those that use a ozone preset
ontop of that, the flac needs some mid range put up on the EQ for the track to sound normal`ish
they let you upload flac for the past year on free accounts
if you have dbpoweramp, flac will "compress" to a full loss less wav in a flac container, while all other flac encoders always compress which makes them not loss less
Yeah thats cool and all that, but Soundcloud always converts it to lower quality last I checked, just like Youtube that makes it 192kbps mp3 or aac for HD videos and far below that for SD.
soundcloud are always in court, and crying about other sites and not wanting adverts everywhere, so they tease you with some flac files and hope your going to pay to put more up
bass trax normally stick around, if they sound nothing like the original, because you can listen to them in a playlist or mix them in a set unless your whole collection has been redone
