Slap one of these an your master, fiddle with the settings a bit, (I recommend setting the frequency to 40 - 50hz and turning down the soft enhance, saturation, and volume of saturation) and you should have some massive (Nopunintended) sub bass.

And here it is with:

You can hear the second clip is clearly better. Now XBass 4000 does kind of mask/weaken the highs, so I'd put a harmonic exciter on the master too.
Sine Waves + minor compression (very minor) + low end boost in plugin (eq tab in massive etc) and maybe some unisono (boost to 2 or 3).

anything below 35 Hz (the D two octaves below middle C) should not be used because it's too low for anyone to actually hear it, especially in club enviroment
20Hz may be the lowest possible frequency a human can hear, but that does not mean it is the lowest frequency musically important, because to hear 20Hz you'd have to take up all the headroom of the track, and that won't work, especially when your audience uses shitty speakers/headphones.

GumsOfGabby wrote:I knew I should've edited that. I reckon you can go as low as A1 (28ish) while still being able to hear sub fine. But isn't sub meant to be more felt than heard (especially on big club PA systems)? It's not just much tonality, anything below 80Hz is hard to distinguish tonally. And if people have shitty headphones/laptop speakers they'll not going to hear it anyway, whether it's 20 or 80 Hz.
