I was wondering how more experienced Multichannel listeners here deal with variations in LFE volume between albums when listening?
I have found it is more evident in modern rock and metal music (which I listen too and create) with deeper kick and bass frequencies than it is in other genres that make much lighter use of the LFE channel.
Do you find it not much of an issue and take the variations as they were intended? Or are you adjusting your sub volume between albums?
Working on my own 5.1 mixes and studying Steven Wilson's work, I've even noticed quite large variations in gain through Porcupine Tree and his solo work. I'm assuming there isn't really a consensus among mixers how loud the LFE should be. Does Atmos require a more strict adherence?
