| Post subject: | HQ mode for Immersive Bass |
I'm using the Immersive Bass feature to "bring up" frequencies that are too deep for my speakers' natural frequency response. I understand this just produces harmonics from the lower frequencies, but hearing something is better than hearing nothing. I have an input low pass of 36Hz and output high pass of 80Hz. With the Stereo Tool CPU Quality set to 150%, Immersive Bass produces clean distortion-free harmonics that sound great. However, at 100% CPU Quality, the harmonics are twice as loud and very, very distorted. Could we get a "HQ" button for the Immersive Bass feature so that it always produces a clean output? |

Well this is a bug more than a feature request. The output is so dirty that it's unusable so really needs to be fixed. |

It's not bug, it works like that.

What? Have you tried listening to Immersive Bass with 100% quality vs 150%? The output actually _is_ unusable at 100%. It sounds like a fart. It's evidently not a "feature" to sound purposefully distorted when, at 150% quality, the output is entirely different. 1. Fix it 2. Disable it for <150% Quality |

Yes, to me is always unusable.

Ah, the issue here is the lowpass filter at 36 Hz. That's too low to do accurate filtering without being in 150% mode. At the default settings, 150% still sounds better, but the difference is a lot smaller. We could - as a workaround - automatically make the filter less steep at lower quality settings, to at least avoid the rumbling sounds that you otherwise get. |

That sounds like a great plan! How can we make it happen?
