- But in bass samples these transients are far less pronounced than in
- other sounds. And many bass sound do not even possess those attributes,
- e.g. many synthetically produced bass sounds.

- Ultimately what determines the quality of these bass samples is the
- rsolution, because 8 bit bass samples are generally much more noisy than
- their 16 bit counterparts--which is mostly due to their low frequency
- nature.
