I Need Advice For Studio Monitors

 Coolness: 509680 | I would personnaly not go for headphones, mostly because they fatigue the ears and REALLY make your mistakes stand out, if you aren't producing at a total professional level yet, you might give up thinking your music sounds like total shit...
monitors won't do that... |

| Coolness: 509680 | I understand the trade off, but personally I believe that making good music and mixing it properly takes a very long time. Which is why I always smoke weed when I produce, it lets me listen to the same fucking beat over and over and over without getting bored. I used to find that when I would produce with headphones, I would get very discouraged...
besides, sound systems in clubs and at parties are never perfect, they hide a LOT of faults. SO when you just want to play your stuff in a club, go for something that will sound more like the club, IE the studio monitors if you are releasing an album, then you will def want to check your mix in headphones as well. But with headphones, you won't 'feel' the bass and you'll be getting a mix picture of your track that is really almost too clean... most people will never hear the details in your track that YOU will hear with headphones, so it's almost overkill. And if producing in headphones means fatiguing faster and not being able to put enough time into your track, then headphones are definitely a negative thing. Another thing is stereo image, you get a very different stereo image with headphones compared with studio monitors, the physical distance from the monitors DOES make a difference and it's a difference that will matter because again, the majority of people will be hearing your beats on a big sound system (mono most of the time btw) But I think we can all agree that priority number one is training your ears and priority number two is listening to your final mix on as many systems all possible to get a better idea of what it will sound like to every one other than you. also, never produce with a subwoofer. |

 Coolness: 46515 | I got to say that righ now i am producing with headphones ( Audio technica mh50 )
The sound is pretty good but still i am pretty sure its better with monitors because i always got to record my shit and go listen to it in my car to get a better idea... Producing 8 to 10 hours in a row with headphones is driving me nuts ! |

 Coolness: 74210 | I've had a pair of MDR-7506 for now about 5 years, they're pretty nice but not for too long. Gets rough on the ears pretty quickly and at low volume it's pretty hard to hear the full mix clearly. |

 Coolness: 106235 | I find having a few different references quite usefull. A pair of flat reference speakers is a must (even if your sub-par romm kinda fucks that up)
A good pair of open earphones like the sen. hd600 are a must, specialy for bedroom studios. A popular pair of closed dj earphones (if you are producing dj oriented music) A pair of shitboxes (logitel make for for great shitboxes) are quite important seeing as a lot of peoples will most likely hear your music on shitboxes. They can also help you find glaring mix mistakes you may have missed with the other references. |

 Coolness: 73205 | I'm using the AKG K240 Studio series headphones now for late night production. Honestly it really doesn't matter what your using. It's all about learning your monitors and their strengths and weaknesses.
Listen to your music on as many different sources as possible, and then compare it to something you think always sounds really good. Many "shity" speakers have shown me huge mistakes in my mix. Like my 2000$ Mackie monitors are awesome, but their so good that they won't distort if a track is clipping. Play your mix threw a shit speaker and voila distortion everywhere. No monitor is going to make your mixing better until you know how to use it. You have to learn your monitor and learn your room too. Mise À Jour » Bad_Chemistry a écrit sur Fri 3 Apr, 2009 @ 3:56pm BTW you should NEVER do your whole mix in headphones alone. It seems every pro article I've read has stressed that point. Headphones just can't recreate sound the way speakers can. They really mess up your panning apparently. |
