    You can use a lot of Bass shakers, the key is to make a good mix like in music. Use different frequencies , use left and right, use front/back, use different volumes and you can feel everything. put more emphasis on important info and less on others that do not affect much relevance . Front/back separation works better than left/right.

    Less is more only applies to active effects per shaker. Give each channel/shaker a base job and a high priority job, like road effects and kerb vibration. The reason I have 7 shakers and will be adding more is to better distribute the effects across multiple shakers and not ask too much of one at a time. Two per corner isn't out of the question with multiple under the seat. The trick to feel the separate corners is to have the rig on spring isolators to allow it to vibrate freely without transferring the noise to the room around it.

    I disagree. I tried one on each side and it's one dimensional compared to a good four corner set up. Four provides more depth and fidelity, you just have to develop the sensitivity for it to register, just like you have to in a car on track in real life. I do however agree with the less is more philosophy when tuning the effects.

      @@SimCoaches I've thought about this a lot, and think a config of 4 shakers, all directly under the seat in a grid of 4, sounds ideal.
      That way, you get left and right feel coming together in the same place, so it feel natural from a left/right car perspective of car effect.
      But your butt can also feel the individual suspension corner rumbles, without them feeling all spaced out over a rig.

      Less is more as far as limiting how many things one haptic unit will register. I use 5, one on each corner, and one behind the seat. My corners only register wheel slip/lockup and road vibrations (curbs and such) The middle one registers, engine and gear shifts. I feel everything in detail. Its only when you

    I get what you are saying if you crank everything, but I have 5. One on each corner and one under my seat. I turn down the effects and phased them properly. Coming from an audio engineering background, you have to understand these are speakers and you need to isolate the rig, insure you phase them properly (if they are not all pointing the same direction, and isolate the frequencies. The rig will have a resonant frequency that will soak up certain vibrations and you need to tune those out and don't put the same effect on each transducer. For example I do the engine rpm on the seat only, gear shifts on the rear and the seat, etc. You can feel the difference from front to year. Mind you, it did take me weeks to get it right! Thanks for the info though.

    the only thing that actually matters is isolation. i used some cheap amazon iso springs on the 4 corners of the rig and that is what makes all the difference. before that the effects felt muted now due to the springs i have a slight lateral shift when turning and the effects feel almost real in vr. best upgrade i did so far.

    There is a very long debate concerning this, and so many audio professionals spoke about this. I have been using 7 on my cockpit and yes you read that right 7. First these Daytons even though they are cheaper than the rest of the competition, and trust me I have tried them plenty. There is a plastic springers on both sides inside that tend to developpe cracks and brakes which renders them vibrating weirdly. I like the Aura's more because they are more reliable and vibrate a bit better than those Daytons. Once you place these shakers horizontally and on a plate that is connected to the chassis with a specific point the whole vibration experience changes (Something similar to the brackets sold by Slip-angle of Canada) add to that you need to use some high end speaker wires to reduce noise or what we call "bruit" it also depends on the amp used and the soundcard used so there is so many variables to it. I use 4 aura on plates on each suspension placement with limited effects and frequency, another larger under the seat with a bracket that is piston based (Buttkicker advanced) and 2 of these simagic ones on the throttle and brake. when you set them up nicely and give them a little bit of tinkering on the volume and frequency used they do become an essential part of your simulator.

    I disagree, as many here do. Currently using five shakers: one on each corner to simulate the four wheels, one under the seat for engine vibration/RPM. It was quite a lot of work with intensive testing to create good settings in simhub to be honest, but the ~12 hours and the effort I put into it payed off: I can perfectly differentiate each wheel and locate the effects easily while driving.

  • @davidvenroy310
    @davidvenroy310 2 месяца назад +1

    Disagree to some extent. I have a Buttkicker and 3 bass shakers. Each one does something specific and at a specific time. This way no single shaker is overwhelmed with noise and hopefully will last longer. As four directional vibrations, if they are tuned high enough in pitch you can “hear” the vibrations from a direction. But, low frequencies are non directional and with the rigidity of the frame you won’t be able to distinguish. Rpm’s (2x) at harmonic frequencies,rumble strips, road bumps. Each works individually and feels fantastic. Also have two rumble motors, one for brake and one for throttle. Subtle, but tells me the limits.

    Thats why I modified my racing chair with small shakers, one on outside of each thigh, and one on each kidney, and one bigger one in the lowerback. The last on fed from iRacing shaker setup, gear and rpm almost un noticable. Rest from each suspension from simhub. Very good immersion when used

    I think the sum total of what you are trying to express has some merit. However there are so many rig configurations and setups that in many cases more locations of shakers can still be very beneficial and a good thing. SimHub and bass shakers can 100% become muddied up and too much sauce but there are some cool things you can do when you explore the dynamics. Two shakers on the seat plus pedal haptics would be excellent for a lot of simulation but shouldn’t discourage more use cases.

      Because these shakers are great for deeper haptic vibrations like curbing, gear shifts, dropping wheels. Putting haptic reactors on your pedals right under your feet then solves having something up front
      Less about feeling a slide on the left or right side of the chassis and more about getting the more immersive feedback like kerbing, shifts, bumps etc through the larger ones

    You are kinda close , but still very far away from the competent answer. Corner solutions reduce the energy from the shakers and even blend together so much its still hard to tell what corner actually vibrates, so the way to go is to mount them as close to youre body as possible (seat), and even better; use some kind of vibration isolation between seatmounts and rig so the energy mostly goes into the seat and not to the entire rig. Regarding shakertypes, the best solution is to use several shakers of different sizes and take control of them with high/lowpass EQ, sort out what frequencys to go where, and not running many effects simultaniously to the same shaker. On top of that, there are effects in some communities that are way better than the standard simhub ones, but you got to look for it and learn the basics the hard way first.

    It's easy to talk without experience, I've been using bodyshakers for years and what I like most is the configuration I've had these last 3 years, it is expensive and difficult to assemble, but in VR+belt tensioner, it is the one that gives me the most realism and immersion...
    The seat is mounted on an axle with bearing (left-right to feel the tensioner more in curves) and on independent and pneumatic 4-point cushioning, it is adjustable by air, and it is a real car seat, it is not rigid, and underneath there are 4 bodyshakers, 1 in each corner, with independent grips and to avoid transfer of effects between them. I carry another 4 on my back in the same way, independent, they are 100W RMS (reckhorm bs 200i)
    The pedal board is mounted on 4 rubber+springs with a stop at the tip so that it only goes up and down, and that function is done by 2 12 "subwoofers, one below and one above, they are blocked and prepared as heavy bodyshakers, which do the same, and with less noise than 2 powerful buttkickers (Fischer Amps Buttkicker LFE) I also carry 2 very powerful and fast motors in the pedals (brake and accelerator) and they do not look at all like the small commercial motors ...
    And for more immersion, I carry another 12 "Sub prepared to move the entire chassis, which is also mounted on 4 air/water tires, like a miniature tractor.
    To feed everything, I have simhub with 2 5.1 cards, 6 preamps above the central monitor, so they are easily regulated and 11 mono subwoofer amplifiers (8 of 100W and 3 of 300W)
    The 3 screens go in another chassis, and if I'm honest, I enjoy it more than a dwarf on a giraffe...
