Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm a music producer. ASR has helped me quite a lot in my music production, especially the mixing and mastering part by providing the actual frequency response curves and distortion values for each headphone and speaker. This greatly helps me in identifying the right gear to purchase which contributes to making my mixing and mastering more consistent and aligned with what might be considered as "sounding right".
To give an example, these 2 songs were mixed 4 months apart with 2 types of headphones.
Song 1 Mixed & Mastered with Bayerdynamic DT990 <-Dynamic driver
Song 2 Mixed & Mastered with Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Closed <- Planar driver
While the final result is subjective, I personally feel that Song 2 is a better mix, and it took me a shorter time to achieve the right balance using the Aeon 2.
Finally some words about headphones and music production instead of this silly words play going on lately.
I don't think the DT990 is well suited to mix on, perhaps with proper EQ it is.. but what is proper ?
The DCA2 closed seems to be better suited, also right out of the box.
