In the bass, I balance 4ths, 5ths and octaves and test for equal beating intervals where I can. For the sub and 1st octave, I balance the double octave and double octave 5th to get the most pleasant resonance. A test I use for the lowest half-octave consists of a five note voicing and holding these notes with the sostenuto and hit the tonic in the bass. I, IV in octave 3; I, III, VI in octave 4. Sometimes substituting a minor third in the right hand. ie: C,G in oct. 3; C, E, A in oct 4 (sometimes C, Eb, A); hold w/ sos; C1 Allow this to decay and you can hear the partials interacting and fine tune the low octave.
