In the Thread: Perception of bass?
Post Subject: A live eventPosted by rowuk on: 2/10/2020
The "tactile sensation" was during a live concert (multiple times) last weekend and reminded me of similar situations at other concerts. I had never thought about this effect for my playback and just decided that I would investigate it. 
As far as my "mind goes", I have not been operated on yet - but this was my last performance before the operation. I still have a couple of days of work left. No fight with my wife or boss, the same wine. There is nothing else that I would call special except that it was the last concert (the problem was an accident in an orchestra, someone in November moved their chair in a dress rehearsal back into my trumpet, bent the bell of the trumpet and knocked my 4 bottom front teeth loose. I played my December and January concerts with those loose teeth. There was some joy in getting through. There will be some jaw reconstruction and implants). Normally I am very concentrated while playing but the effect was very noticable/distracting. 
I came home and listened to various recordings in search of a similar tactile, but have no recollection ever having had the effect at home.
My son recorded the concert (he is an audio engineer) and I will get the raw digital source and see if he captured it. I know what measures made the effect. Of course, his microphones have a different perspective than my chair in the trumpet section.
