Before anyone calls me out, I'll warn ya that I posted this clip in MP3 mixing yesterday. After some suggestions to move into the realm of monitors and treatment rooms, I'd like to post this clip here as well and see what the guys who frequent this section think. This clip was done with Senn's HD 280 headphones, though I did check with a car system and two other sets of headphones. I'll probably say what most others who use headphones say...that it sounds awesome when using them. But the guys in the MP3 section easily called out the things I was battling while mixing with my phones (panning, guitar tone, low end balance, and cymbals). So, Studio Building guys, what do you think??? After listening to this clip, does it sound like the first step toward a better mix is getting decent monitors? I have only been mixing for about 6 months or so, so I'm sure some of you will accurately point out that my overall skills and experience need to improve as well...but I'm trying to gauge what the top 2 or 3 problems are here. Then, I can take the correct steps toward making these tracks sound phenomenal. Like a lot of others here, I'm trying hard to get some of these tracks into TV, movies, games, etc... but I am finding it difficult to get the tone and sound I want. Especially the guitars. Anyways, please take a quick listen and please share anything you can that might be helpful to me. thanks a lot!
