as someone who records alot of electronic music where there are serious bass tones/rumbles,
I have yet to run into a situation where I should have run a HPF.
what music are you guys recording where you need to run a HPF all the time?
you must just love bass cause i use it all the time recording rock bands in small clubs.
I do like bass(which I often find lacking in alot of recordings), but I also want the fullest frequency range possible on the master recording.
if a recording needs some eq to tone down the bass, then I will apply in post-production.
its MUCH easier to remove bass in post than it is to add bass!
also, usually, when people need to tone down bass, a HPF is usually the worst thing they could do.
a band-pass/notch filter works wonders...takes away the muddy/rumble but leaves the punch and clarity intact
