I converted the bass track off a midi file to ogg,

monitor speakers and I'm deciding what low frequency range is
acceptable. I tried audacity and analyze-->plot spectrum, but I can't
get that to show me what the low end is doing (I'm sure I'm missing
something simple).
Interesting. I tried this too and, as you say, there is very little resolution in the
graph at the low end of the spectrum.
Anyways, here's a link. What frequency is that
bass around? How can I
measure that?
What I tried was importing the track into ardour, so I could play it with output going to
jack, starting jamin, then playing the track and watching the HDEQ spectrum plot. From
that the lowest peak seems to be around 50Hz.
As you have the original MIDI file you could so a quick sanity check of this as that
frequency would mean that the lowest note in that bass part should be G1 or Ab1. There is
a table of note to frequency values at: http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html
