LFE Examples

LFE tracks and other audio can contribute to the LFE output in two ways:

Using the LFE fader in Output windows. This LFE signal is post-fader.

– or – 

Using a custom sub-path to route channels discretely.

The following figure shows a channel Output window, sending and metering the LFE channel.

 

LFE fader

Using the LFE fader, you can add any amount of any multichannel path to the overall LFE output. In the above example, the track’s Center percentage has been turned off, and the LFE fader has been raised to route it to the LFE channel.

The following figure shows how a “traditional” LFE track can be routed to only the LFE channel. This example uses a custom-defined LFE sub-path to the FX main bus path.

LFE faders can follow Mix and Edit Groups. For information, see Selecting Group Attributes.

For instructions on creating a sub-path, see Custom Multichannel Paths.
