mixing

Hello, I've been reading through the various forums posts here with great interest and already shortlisted a few monitors but would like to ask the forum members now. I've seen this type of thread a few times before but answers change with time, budget and specific situations / preferences...

For those using CanOpener with the Hifiman Ananda Nano and applying the Harman curve EQ: Since the Ananda Nano’s soundstage is center-focused, what are your complete settings in Goodhertz CanOpener for optimal crossfeed and better critical soundstaging, especially for mixing?

Hi there, I’m an intermediate musician who primarily mixes on headphones (please spare me the “don’t mix on headphones” lecture). I recently upgraded to the UAD Apollo Twin X Gen 2, replacing my Babyface Pro FS. However, I’ve noticed that the headphone output on the Apollo is clearly colored...

Hey there gang, wasn't sure where to post this but thought this could be an okay place for the topic at hand. Title says it all. I'm looking to start my DJ journey into mixing and recording but also want to have the sweet flexibility and enjoyment of being able to use whatever headphones I...

Hi all, I'm trying to make a decision between these two sets, for mixing. Normally I mix using DT770s with a bit of Sonarworks and CanOpener. I'll try to explain my situation as best as I can. This room setup (about 25sqm, with a slanted ceiling and a drywall column somewhat in the middle of...

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to the collective expertise of this forum for advice on improving the acoustics of our studio. It's uniquely situated in the heart of Paris, nestled in the second basement of a historic building, and boasts a distinct pentagonal shape. Our budget for acoustic...

Hello, I would like to move out and look for an apartment here in Germany that has a large rectangle room, as symmetrical as possible. Is 5m x 5.50m also rectangular? This is just an example. What is the definition of rectangular for you in the studio area? (5x6 or 5x7?) I am looking for an...

I received a very large orchestral multitrack project, which includes: 1. Mono recording with each instrument. 2. Overall ST tracks with ORTF and AB versions. There are also several ROOM tracks. 3. Decca L/C/R tracks. 4. SurrL/SurrR/Out LR/Out RF/Out RR/Out LF tracks. 5. L&R tracks, along with...

I've seen a lot of threads about near-field listening, but I struggle to find a concrete info about what exactly makes a speaker good for near-field listening in terms of measurements. Is it mostly linear on-axis response combined with early reflections and good directivity, or is there...

Hello everyone, first time posting here. I've had Audio-Technica ATH-M40X for 6 years now which had to be super-glued a few times when its parts were falling apart etc... I'm a beginner who's trying to learn mixing by working on my death metal album and I thought that investing on a good pair...

Hi everyone! :) I just discovered this forum and it seems to be lot of knowledgeable people here! I'm Adrian and I would like to get a pair of monitors that can do basically everything related to music creation, from beginning to end, that means: composing, producing, recording, mixing and...

Hey all! First time posting here. So glad to find this forum as I'm a believer in measurements to help dispel all the marketing we are saturated with! I run a mixing and mastering studio and I'm looking to upgrade my monitors that served me well the last 10 years (Dynaudio BM5A). I'm in a...

Hi everyone ! I'm building a small home studio mainly for composing, producing and a little bit of mixing at home. (The main job will be done in a another studio, but I'd like to produce at home as much as possible) My room is 12 square meters and will be treated accordingly the room...

Hi, everybody. I'm just finishing mixing a record and since I don't have a properly treated studio I bought some Sennheiser HD650 headphones with 320 Ohm impedance. My RME Babyface sound card (first model) does not have a headphone amplifier capable of driving the HD650 and for this reason I am...

Hey there, I've been spending the past month researching headphones with the purpose of replacing my K712 for studio work, mainly for mixing. For the past few days I've been trying out the ATH R70x headphones from Audio-Technica. Unfortunately, the ear pads are clamping too hard around my ears...

I'm conflicted between these active monitors for a few reasons.. 1. The LP6's are currently listed for $149 each which are an amazing price for 6.5" monitors, however the 308's are listed at $135 on amazon which is unbeliEvable since I could have a pair of good 8" monitors for $270 2. I...

Roughly sorted according to theme, and chosen because I think they're worth listening to. The difficulty ranges from introductory to real heavy. Part of the way I dive into a topic is to find lectures by knowledgeable people and then build archives. So maybe others will find this useful as...

I just spent an hour with my new DX3 Pro. Holy crap!! Low Gain mode... WOW! I've been using my Apogee Ensemble (the newer Thunderbolt version) for a couple years and assumed it was EXACTLY how my OPPO PM-3's + upgraded cable are supposed to sound. It's a $2,500 interface with presumably amazing...
