I know, yet another bass filter. Mathijs was complaining that the bass still didn't sound right. It lacked warmth. We started experimenting, and at some point his reponse was "That's it!". So, we've worked on adding that specific bass. Somehow, I've never missed it, but when I listened to it in my car, I suddenly had the feeling that I was "bathing in bass". Hence the name "Immersive Bass". Interestingly, it is less noticable on my monitor speakers in our office.
Earlier filters such as Basstardiser now sound "hollow" in comparison, and I would describe this new bass as "warm". The new "Dutch Chocolate Moose" preset is using it. Still work in progress, but it's close to Dutch Moose, with more of "that" bass.
Not sure if Immersive Bass is working as intended in 9.12 BETA014. I hear what it does (listening to it using the Dutch Moose preset) but at the same time i'm losing energy in the low end (< 120Hz). Could this be caused by phase issues in the crossover filter maybe, causing the original bass to cancel out? It's easy to hear on a pair of headphones. The (sub) low-end just disappears.
I do more or less the same kind of thing using the True bass section: I basically create heavy distortion using both bands, then add a little bit to the original signal. Warms up the low-mid very nice. I've added my True Bass settings to this post. You might want to increase the strength level a bit.
At this point I prefer the 'True Bass-way' over the Immersive Bass.
