# [g=118]Bass[/g] - treble balance in a raw Fourier-transform shows most well-produced music as having much more [g=118]bass[/g] than treble. For instance if you do a Spectrum Analysis in SoundForge on most kinds of music, you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ll typically see a curve that is sloping upwards towards the left side i.e. having to much [g=118]bass[/g], and not enough treble.
This is because the normal Fourier Transform is calibrated to show [g=201]white noise[/g] as being linear. But you can\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t really hear any [g=118]bass[/g] in [g=201]white noise[/g], can you?
That's because the ear expects 3 dB more energy per octave towards the lower frequencies. VUmeter.exe is calibrated to show [g=202]pink noise[/g] as being linear, so music that is well produced should produce a horizontal line (more or less), when analyzed with the two FFT-meters.
