Hello there
i am new in here, hope i am starting this thread in the right place.
I am a music producer, I've been making Trip-Hop / electronica for a few years now. I am also working abroad (PE teacher), always traveling so i can't have a proper treated home studio.
I am currently using :
MONITORS : Presonus Eris E5
AUDIO INTERFACE : Focusrite 2i4 2nd gen
HEADPHONES : Audio Technica ATH-M50X
MSI laptop
I am having a very VERY hard time mixing and mastering songs in my actual untreated room, so I am thinking about buying an openback Headphones. After a long googling session, I felt In love with the Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro (250uhm) . quiet expensive headphones (600 usd) and yet they need an AMP to run perfectly... (starting from 100 usd)
I know that most of the producers do not advise using headphones for mixing but I have not choice.
My questions are :
1- what do you think about mixing with an openback headphones? please share your experiences
2- as I mentioned above, I am using a Focusrite 2i4, do I need to buy a amp to run the dt1990 ? if yes, which price friendly AMP do you guys propose ?
3- anyone using those beyerdynamic ? are they worth the 600usd ?
4- is there any lower price but yet similar quality headphones you know ?
thank you !
