The higher frequencies are hyped and then roll off quite strongly between 5 and 10kHz. With regards to the frequency responses of the earphones, it is clear that the bass is boosted a fair amount - especially when you take proximity into account. I'm not sure how much mysticism there is (one could say that any mysticism is too much in this field) but I've certainly read some strange things that people seem to convince themselves of without any consideration for engineering. It has to be monitor speakers for me as I feel most comfortable using them and ear fatigue doesn't happen as quickly. So I'll only use headphones when recording live audio and as a quick A/B check.
It's the restriction and artificial sense of sound that I dislike about that solution. I'm definitely with you with regards to headphones - I think I have a mild claustrophobic response to them - even though I'm not claustrophobic. I think I saw Bob Katz mastering audio on a sofa in his living room once. I now know to watch out for a device's response curve and have to find some earbuds with a flat one.
So, all these speakers and headphone and people that like to tweak their system's EQ can have it their way. Looking at these guys, we see that they are really pumping that low end.Īt the end of the day, I mix flat against pink noise. I'm happy with my mixes, I've been doing them in FL Studio for 20 years and they sound better than ever.
AUDIFIED MIXCHECKER TV
If you look, it seems to be boosting 2k-5k, this gave me the artificial idea that the vocals sounded decent on the "slapped together" mix so when I brought it to my TV they dulled out. Here is the frequency response curve from my favorite headphones I noticed my hard mix sounded decent, my "slapped together" mix seemed to lack in the vocals department. I was chilling, listening to them on my TV, showing them off to some guests. One I pushed extra hard and one I slapped together. There is too much mysticism about mixing, mastering and monitoring. unfortunately, I can only afford a flat response curve. I've even read that some live performers have their earbuds custom fitted to their ear hole.
AUDIFIED MIXCHECKER DRIVER
In-ear (earbuds) are no different from any other monitor, with a big enough driver and high-quality materials they rival everything else. I sit in a chaise lounge to do the majority of my sequencing and mixing, my laptop sits on my lap therefore there is no surface to put monitors on, over-ear headphones make my head sweat after a few hours and some feel like I'm sticking my head in a vice.
