Hi,
I've recently had to relocate to temporary space where using studio monitors is not going to work. I'll be investing in some headphones (one closed back for general use, and another open-back for studio/mixing duties). Yes, I am aware of the argument for not mastering/mixing on headphones, but the talk and feedback on Slate's VSX, other DSP options out there, and the use of headphones by some notable engineers, have me fairly convinced that headphones can work well during situations where monitors are not an option. So, while I can/will check my mixes on monitors off-site (Genelecs), I'd like to hear what studio people are using with their headphones and how they're using it. I've tried Sonarworks but something felt off to me. Are you using only EQ, or going into room emulations (Realspace), crossfeed DSP (Can Opener)? What has worked well for you? How have things translated for you?
Thanks,
