I'll try to bring it to the 20's, but the vocals are gonna sound ridiculous. Let me know if you're free this weekend and bring your laptop, I'll give you a bunch of the songs

I used to use MixVibes Pro back when I used to mix my own stuff, but now I just use Audacity. For my gear's sake it works well because it

A) allows me to see if a song is clipped and how badly, which is good because it makes it a little easier to level everything, and MixVibes was more a DJ program, whereas Audacity is more of a tool t

B) it allows me to analyze the different frequencies of a given song and gives me an idea of how it will sound rather than guessing. But I am getting pretty good and guessing now thanks to it.

Audacity still works like your basic turntable or DJ program and allows you to change pitch, but speed and tempo as well, and a 12% change is about the same as the average turntable, but sometimes its fun to go lower hahaha. But, it takes some getting used to. I like my music slow but sometimes people hear it and think theres something wrong. I then tell them that I be ridin slab, they get a puzzled look and we move on lol

oh, Paul I'll hook you up, just know if you break something its not my fault. My songs are just slowed because I don't have the time to add to it, but some of the songs I get are tweaked and they come with warnings. I remember on another forum a guy asked the owner of DC audio why he kept blowing subs. He was advised not to play music from a certain member of the forum. He makes good music though lol

hahaha, thanks Myles. lol. I was just wondering what program you used. I've got a few good BR songs if they were only another 4-7 seconds longer.... ya know. Thanks for the insight.

oh yeah if you take the time you can use it for seamless loops, which as you know really helps for bass racing

The presence and pressure still being there makes it seem more powerful than it is. When your car starts to sound like god taking a breath, you know you've got something.

It should also pleasure women.
I know exactly what you mean- Im running the same subs in a big *** box... I never measured the dB- but at low notes, if i tune it down you can feel the wind coming out of door panels.... but tuning it too low makes it almost unusable for other genres lol... its also fun to play around and find the resonant frequencies of your car parts - i.e. my steering wheel is around 24Hz and it can move way more then you can move it by pulling/pushing on it ;]
