Dynamic boost option is used to boost both the overall sound along with bass. However, Bass option only boosts bass levels without changing any other audio parameter value.

To boost sound, first, go to Effects > Bass and Treble. Bass and treble option contains three sliders through which you can increase or decrease bass, treble, and volume levels between -30 to 30. After making adjustments on sound levels, apply changes and preview audio using its own audio player. Here, you can also save the adjustments as a preset for later use.

The main advantage of an audio editor software over other bass booster software is that in audio editor, you can apply effects on a selected part of audio. To select a certain part of audio, just click and drag mouse over the time line of audio. Now, you can easily boost bass or apply any other effect on selected audio part.

In Audacity, you need to export audio in order to save bass boosted audio in audio formats such as .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .mp2, etc. But, its export option needs a lame enc.dll file in order to export audio in various audio format.
