I just put stuff in the LFE channel and let the mastering guy worry about it!" But depending on how you have your system set up, that could be wrong. A lot of people told me 'For music, don't put anything in the LFE channel, that's only for movies.' But then I started doing it and when I played it on my system it just sounded right, when I had control over it. But when I did use the LFE channel it was just what I put in, and it sounded much better. It would just take some kind of sum of the other channels and create a subwoofer channel. I just know that on my Sony receiver at home, I noticed that if I didn't put anything in the LFE channel, the system made up its own LFE, and it sounded terrible. There's this whole bass management issue, which I still don't quite understand. "You really don't have much control over how things are played back. You get the general public out there and they're lucky if they get the speakers in phase. But how are people supposed to know that? It was tough for me to find on my Sony. A lot of systems default to having them switched on, which means that if you play music, you get one big bass drum or tom-tom, and it kicks the level right back. Those are the last things you'd ever want for listening to music. "Most of the home systems are designed for movies, and have extra DSP built in to create some sort of theatre ambient effect, and they have automatic level controls. "The manufacturers of consumer gear should put a really obvious button on their systems saying Music," says Bob Clearmountain. It might sligthly measure better on paper graphs but not in my real life listening music and film soundtracks experience. Trying to listen for differences/variations give me a bad headache after hours of extensive attentive listening, after days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, milleniums, different galaxies, other multiverses, 3 and 4D rainbows. It sounds all the same to my set of ears.
Pure Direct audio mode doesn't do anything magic to my ears that Direct and Stereo cannot either.
An AV receiver today is like the space shuffle, like a Tesla electric car, like Microsoft control center, like Amazon worldwide infrastructure, like Donald Trump organization. it's not like yesterday's stereo AM/FM receivers with a Tone Bypass button. There is so much happening in AV receivers nowadays.Ethernet, Appple TV, Alexa, Bluetooth, DSP, ADC, DAC, Dolby Vision passthrough, eARC, HEOX, IMAX mode, 13 and 15 channels of manipulation (bass massaging) and amplification, Tidal, Roon, MQA, HDCD, DSD.
