The LFE channel -- the .1 channel -- was meant to contain cinema audio for things like explosions, gunshots, volcanic eruptions, and the like . Loud low bass. In practice, for purely musical releases at least, it seems to be (mis)used for whatever the mixer thinks will make the listener notice his subwoofer is working. (Wise heads have argued that an LFE channel should NOT be needed for music releases, as bass management works just fine for people with subwoofers, but the ship sailed long ago)
Anyway, my question is how LFE is actually 'made' in the mixing studio for music releases. Let's also stipulate, for simplicity, that its use will be in a system of full range speakers plus a subwoofer (i.e., no bass management).
Is the content of an LFE 'supposed' to be low passed content created in the studio , which is also *removed* from the other channels (i.e.., they are highpassed)? Or is it supposed to share bass content with the other channels? Or something else?
