Importance Of Corner Bass Traps

By Ina Hunt


Music is an integral part of daily living. It has been a part of human existence since the early days. It has provided for a source of entertainment even way back then. Ancient festivals are never complete back then without accompaniment, as it remains to be so until today.

It is also beneficial for optimum brain development. The hearing capabilities of human beings function as early as the fetal stage. It is believed that a child can hear and distinguish sounds from the environment even when still inside the safe confines of the womb of the mother. The effect of classical music to brain development makes a pregnant woman want to listen to classical pieces even at the early stages of pregnancy.

Parents of children bestowed with musical prowess often get worried when their kids reach that certain age when they are allowed to go to school. They are afraid that music might just interfere with the academic performance of the child, as they spend a lot of time playing their chosen musical instrument instead of taking the time out to study. This fear is commonly unfounded, as music has certain elements that stimulate the brain. Even the steady pulses of an upbeat song helps in the development of mathematical and problem solving skills.

Most people fail to realize the essential part that it plays in every composition. They think that it is used only in very loud sounds such as the rock and metal genre. The truth is, even the slowest songs follow that steady beat only the bass can provide.

Whether the song to be played is relatively loud, like from the genres of rock and hard metal, or soft and slow, like acoustics, it serves two very important functions. First off, the base provides the pulse of the song. Just like the heart pulses non stop to give life to every creature, it also gives life to any piece. Without it, the music will sound flat and void of life.

The bass also provides the harmonic foundation of every song that is ever played. Harmony is achieved when, even at a certain point where several notes are played at once, you still get to hear it as a single melody. The bass is the point of reference used by the ears so be able to distinguish sounds. How the it is used makes all the difference. You can use the same melody, but if you vary the bass, you will be able to come up with individual moods.

This proves the quintessential role that it plays in music. In relation to this, the music industry now employs the use of bass traps for the achievement of that critical listening environment. The traps reduce noise by trapping in resonating factors, giving way to purer melodies without interferences.

In general, there are two types of traps, the resonating absorbers and the porous absorbers. The resonating ones tend to narrow band action. They also only absorb a small range of audio frequencies. To be quite truthful about it, resonating types are in no means better than the other type.

It is primarily for this reason that the porous absorbers are the ones marketed to the public today. They are smaller in size and they do not need to be specifically tuned to match the job. They are also quite easy to build. In fact, more and more people make their own bass traps rather than buy them. It allows them to save more money without compromising anything.
