“I use headphones during the production and premix stage of a song to get a realistic feel for how the song and sound are working together. This is a critical stage which determines how a particular song may work and what may be needed to enhance the song and indeed sound.
Sonarworks has been a real game-changer for me. The ease at which I can hear realistically what is going on in the mix and the overlap between the various instruments has helped enhance the sound and improve the mix. Not just with the individual sounds of each stem, but the overall balance of the mix.
Translating the sound from the headphones to various other listening devices has been easier to achieve.”
“I use Sennheiser HD600 and it's crazy how I never noticed that my Subbass was always way too loud. After applying the Headphone profile it was soo obvious. Already after using it on just 1 song I can easily tell how much my mixing improved lol.”
“I feel like SoundID Reference for headphones gives me some objectivity which is an incredibly valuable thing.
Sometimes I feel like I need to find a balance between the flat sound and my headphones, because the difference is quite pronounced, I’m still learning how best to use the plugin.
I have tried using it on my old projects and it brings out some things I would normally not have focused on.
Either way, it still feels like a valuable purchase that, importantly, I will continue to experiment with. The fact that it inspires experimentation is itself a great thing.”
“Perfecto para igualar en cierto modo auriculares de carácter muy distinto y tener mayor precisión a la hora de hacer una escucha crítica con tus auriculares de confianza.”
“Makes a substanstial difference mixing with or without the headphone profile active. When mixed on headphones (Sony MDR-7506) with SoundID Reference active, the result sounds much more balanced op speakers.”
