Now imagine you are trying to fix the low-end issue with an equalizer (like what the Sonarworks guys do). I found out that each headphone has its acoustic made which means with a headphone like an AKG-K240Studio The Mid-range and High-ends are incredibly true and real, the low-end is a bit weak and less defined due to the physical made of this headphone. This phenomenon Leads me to search for the reason why?
Wow, It was Sounding almost exactly like what I mixed through my dry headphones. The mix session took around three hours and after I finished my mix, with shaking hands, I hit the play button again The midrange was so dirty and in one wordĪs I am a hard worker I blamed myself again with excuses like “you didn’t pay enough attention” and gave this Plug-in two weeks to maybe my ears get calibrated with that.Īfter two weeks, everything, I mean everything was sound out of my headphones as terrible as the first day I did my first mix.Īfter two weeks I turned the plug-in off and started to mix with my headphones only (without Sonarworks). The low-end was blowing up and the Top-end was harsh and could cut any human or non-human being creature ear. With a confident smile I hit the play button. If something sounds balanced and smooth on these speakers you can be sure about your mix. I have a set of Edifier home speakers (which I truly recommend, read the article about it here).
With a couple of A-B and tweaks I reached my desired mix. I always mix with a reference track, there’s a very cool plug-in named Reference(read about it here) you can try as well. Seriously the mixing part was done so faster and I finished my mix in less than two hours. I started to mix with Sonarworks turned on, I could realize the imbalances and some wrong eq s. Then I opened my previously mixed and mastered songs, this time with the Sonarworks turned on. I tried to listen to my reference songs for about two or three hours to get used to flat sound. I was so excited and quickly added more songs to check them With this flat-ish headphone response. In short, this song became unbelievably flat. The lower end Pull itself up and stands right next to the mid-range and high-end. Suddenly all the Reverbs and room ambiances disappeared and everything become so dry. I started to listen without plug-in for around ten minutes.

I imported the “Daft Punk – I feel it coming” (click to see the full review about the mix and mastering of this song). I chose my headphone profile and quickly opened my DAW, dropped the plug-in at the last slot of my stereo output.
