Hello guys. I have been following the forum for several months. I have debunked some of my beliefs, but I still have endless questions due to my current state. I am a musician with 15 years of experience; most of the time I played gigs, but I also had a different job. I made an album and I...

Ear fatigue is a real cost for producers and engineers and protecting hearing over a long career is something I care about deeply. Some say to monitor at around 85 dB to get a flat representation of the sound, but that's too loud to be healthy. If you lower the level you lose the fun part of the...

I was looking for headphones for mixing. I want headphones that are better than my AudioTechnica ATH-M50X and AKG K240 Studio headphones, and I chose the Hifiman Ananda Nano. However, do I need an amplifier to run these headphones and use their full potential? Or I don't know which amplifier I...

Hi all, new here so I hope I'm not doing anything wrong (preemptive apologies just in case). Though I used to work in music a while back, my current headphones are... old. My AKG K271 Studio are fine for some things, but definitely not for mixing, though they improved a bit with Realphones 2...

I have a RME Fireface UFX ii (which has a high & low power mode for the headphone amp)...and I just purchased a set of Hifiman Arya Organics. Is the RME sufficient in powering the Arya Organics for accurate reproduction? I will be mixing albums on this setup. Thanks!

I have my Studio Monitors with a Subwoofer calibrated for the flat frequency response + a little bit of personal taste. I have been listening to different genres of music and I have been jumping between Electronic and Rock/Metal music. While I have been listening Electronic Music I haven't seen...

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'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...
