I'll go one better than that, listening in any digital format is a crap way to judge a good bass synth, but an MP3 will at least help back up a claim - better than nothing in this I-pod world.

As far as not using compression though. I'm guessing your talking about the compression when you lower the size of a file rather than controlling dynamics. At least I hope you are. Compression (in the dynamics form) is more than useful for getting a nice bass sound.

Bullshit. Surely this depends on what sort of bass you're after. If you want a little poppy off beat trance bass then yeah, if you want a ball trembler DnB bass with a lot of movement then no.

Funny thread.
