As you know, only music may be used when competing in Bass Race. This is one of the fundamental rules of the competition. Test tones are specifically prohibited. This is not a subjective matter. If a test tone is being used during competition, the competitor is in violation of the rules. Test tones "camoflaged" as music or "songs" that are advertised as music but are, in fact, test tones will not be permitted in competition.
If this issue continues to cause issues for the officiating staff, we will have no alternative but to require that contestants use the official Bass Race CD at all multipoint Bass Race competitions.
As a competitor, it is in your best interest to abide by the rules and to insure that the rules are enforced at each event you participate in.j
Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Ok, so now we still don't have any idea what is legal or not and by whom's opinion it is illegal?
The DJ Magic Mike song has a constent bass track in the background. IMO this is NOT a test tone with music on top, rather it is a song with a constant bass note in the background.
Sooo ... IMO, perfectly legal

You said it right there... No matter how you put it, a constant bass note is a sine wave...
If it quacks like a duck....
What is "CONSTANT", doesn't every song have a "note" and is it not "constant" at some point in the song. You have to define "constant" here, because on the CD DJ Magic Mike the "note" does break in the song serveral times. It is not a "constant" 30 second "note" and there is other "notes" being played as well (and yes I have the CD and yes it does break). It might be 6 seconds long where another song is only 2 to 3 seconds in lenght so is that what justifies it as being a "constant" note or sine wave? You have to be a little more specific then "constant", how long is "constant"...one second...two seconds....three seconds...
Use a analyzer on any song, you will see there are notes all over the board that are "constant"!
My definition of a illegal "song" would be if you put it on a analyzer and it showed only one "note" playing then yes there is your sine wave and there is your illegal "song".

well until artists start making tracks just for bass race i dont think we have anything to worry about. if the song is produced by a national recording label not just a home recording then it should be legal.

i agree this needs to be defined more clearly, lets say i have a song that has a 50hz note for 15 seconds, then it stops for 1 second, then the last 14 seconds are a 50hz note.
do u consider that a constant note and therefore illegal?
what if it was every 10 seconds and then a pause?
every 5?
every 3?
this needs to be addressed
after re-reading wayne's post, it seem he is only address test tones, nothing is said about the duration of the tone
how do u know when it is a test tone and when it is some synthetic bass made by bass mechanik?
