Hi guys, I am exploring headphones to train my ears in SoundGym. Currently, I am using Audio Technica ATH-M20x. May I know your headphone model? And based on your opinion, are studio headphones good for ear training? Thank for your feedback!😊
I personally don't like the 20x as it sounds to thin. I used to have the 40x, which is a pretty flat sounding one. Now I went to the 50x for the extra low end. For the reference I use the AKG K240 as it is also open and sounds more fresh.
hello everyone, i have a huge problem that i cant get rid of it when i mix my music i always end up with having too much 250 and 500hz, usually coming from guitars and vocals, so my question is how do i know when some frequency is too much and when its enough, i do ab reference but i only realize when i put it on ozone in my mastering session
You can either mix into the limiter to get it to a mastered level so you hear how things are going to sound when mastered, or if you don't want to go whole hog you can periodically check by putting a limiter on and listening in that range. You are likely doing this but make sure that when you are referencing your mix and the reference are gain matched - probably want to do that into the limiter too as most tracks are quite loud.
Use a reference mix - and of course nail the midrange (check on something like avatone mix cubes) then you can also Isolate a frequency band and check against a commercial reference. Also check the meters for that frequency range. It may sound thin. Also - make sure you are doing EQ carving to unmask your fundamentals etc.
