English term or phrase: add a harder bass sound
You might be unfamiliar with the frequencies on a graphic equaliser. Here is a short guide to their relevance when setting up the EQ for an audio file.

Increase the 60Hz frequency to boost low-frequency instruments such as the bass or bass drum. Reduce the frequency to decrease the boom of the bass.

Increase the 100Hz frequency to add a harder bass sound to lowest-frequency instruments or to make guitars and the snare drum sound fuller. Also, increase this frequency to add warmth to piano and horns. Reduce the frequency to increase the clarity of guitars and remove any 'boom' sound.

Increase the 260Hz frequency to boost vocals and instruments such as the guitar or snare drum. Reduce the frequency to make vocals or mid-range instruments clear if they sound muffled.

Increase the 500Hz frequency to add clarity to bass lines, especially when speakers are at low volume. Reduce the frequency to decrease any flat sound of lower drums such as the bass drum and to decrease ambience on cymbals.

encore une ! j'ai un doute : renforcer le son grave ? Merci d'avance !

pour ajouter un son de basse plus dur (plus percutant) aux instruments à basse fréquence
Explanation:
On est déjà dans les basses médiums, ce qui durcit les instruments graves, comme la contrebasse, tom basse, grosse caisse.

Il ne s'agit pas d'atteindre des fréquences plus graves, comme dans le cas d'un subwoofer, mais au contraire d'injecter des fréquences basses néanmoins plus hautes, qui vont durcir le son, le rendre plus percutant.
C'est la différence entre une basse à la Mc Cartney et une basse à la U2.

Accentuer les basses


Explanation:
Peut-être que le mot "accentuer" résumerait les deux idées: plus de basses et plus percutantes.
