Why this matters

808 power lives in the fundamental, but perception lives in the harmonics. Use this to keep subs intentional, especially when sliding between notes.

• Lower than 40 Hz may vanish on small speakers.
• 50-60 Hz is heavy system territory.
• 70-90 Hz translates better across devices.
• Short glide times feel punchy, longer ones feel dramatic.

Tip: If your 808 feels muddy, check if its fundamental overlaps heavily with your kick.
