RE: XMPT #1 - How to reference your music production to get a satisfactory mixdown!

in #howto8 years ago

I really don't have much hardware, but this monitor controller is awesome. A monitor controller is the centerpiece in a studio. The best thing about it is that it allows me to quickly switch between inputs and outputs to speakers. Testing the master on different speakers helps a lot. If I can make my track sound good on different speakers, it's more likely to get a good overall master. But Voice meter banana is also good for this purpose. ;)

Sort:  

I always try to check my mix on as many speakers as possible, in the end you have to make a compromise on what systems your sound is "meant" to sound good on. Its very hard to make a track sound both good on a cellphone and a big festival setup. You would probably have way higher rms levels on something meant to be listened to on smaller speakers, in contrast to having more dynamics in something meant for bigger speakers. Personally i work with a rms of around -10 in my tracks as i like to leave my tracks dynamic and they are mainly meant to be enjoyd in the forest on huge soundsystems! :D

Yeah I agree. I think the loudness war is over. Music lost... Time to put back the pieces. :)

Preach it man!
It's definitely time to bring back dynamics in music again ^_^
