A quantitative analysis estimates that transposing a TR-808 bass drum down a perfect fourth causes roughly 11.8 dB of combined loudspeaker and ear sensitivity loss, supporting Scott Storch's practice of transposing the song key instead.

A quantitative analysis estimates that transposing a TR-808 bass drum down a perfect fourth causes roughly 11.8 dB of combined loudspeaker and ear sensitivity loss, supporting Scott Storch's practice of transposing the song key instead.
