What it does

Bass Resonance models the Little Labs Voice Of God, a 500-series unit that adds a tunable low-frequency resonance. The developer pitches it as "deep, focused low-end resonance without mud."

Tunable resonance: sweep the resonance point to "lock the low end to the source," matching the bump to the note or body of the track.
Mix control: blend the effect so the wanted low frequencies come up without unwanted sub build-up.
Controlled sub energy: adds size and punch while keeping the low end clear rather than muddy.
Wide use: aimed at kick drums and bass guitar, but also vocals, synths and drums that need weight.
Simple panel: a direct interface built to dial in low-end character in seconds.

The current version is 1.0.0. It is on sale, and a demo can be downloaded. The product page does not give the frequency range or resonance settings.

When to use it

Bass Resonance is the quicker tool when you want one job done: find the sweet spot of a kick or bass and make it bigger. Compared with Pro-Q 4 it gives up all surgical control, but its single sweepable resonance gets to a usable result faster. It does a similar job to the classic low-boost-and-cut trick on the Pultec Passive EQ Collection or PuigTec EQs, without the extra bands or the need to know the trick, and with a mix control to set how much is added.

Best for: adding weight to kicks, 808s, bass guitar, thin vocals and synth basses.
Genres: hip-hop, trap, electronic, rock and pop.
Look elsewhere if: you need precise EQ moves or several bands; Pro-Q 4 or TDR Nova suit that better.

What producers say

Bass Resonance is new and has no independent reviews yet; buyers on the developer's store are positive.

Nembrini store customers rate it 5 out of 5 from 6 reviews; one called it "the best and easiest tool to give body" to songs.
Praised: ease of use and the added low-end weight, described as a bump with "something extra that is hard to put your finger on."
