The only drawback to post production filtering of low freq sounds would
be if the low sounds caused the recording to be overdriven (distort the
preamp, or A/D, or analog media), or if the low sounds were so lound
compared to the hi freq sounds that you recored way too low.
I prefer post production filtering myself. You can't undo recorded
filters post production.
