    One of Many : List of best mix/mastering headphones 2020

    I am a AKG 701 user and I am very satisfied (I use them in conjunction with a pair of Sennheiser HD600). Are you sure they cost that much? The AKG702 (which is the same as the 701 but is black and has removable cable) on Amazon Italy costs less than 160$ (135euro). Perhaps it would be cheaper...

    Headphones or Monitors

    I have been mixing on headphones all my musical life (about 40 years of it, thank you) and there are 2 main things to consider: 1- how good sounding is the room you mix in and 2- how good sounding is the room you're mixing in! Take point 1: most (if not all) bedroom studios suffer of bad...

    Acoustic treatment - high ceilings music room

    Know what I am doing? :laughings: That "thing" next to the piano is not a bass trap. It is a panel which opens up (as a book) that I use as a second door when I need extra isolation. When not in use I keep it folded. I made it myself and it is shape exactly to "plug" onto the door (not in the...

    Acoustic treatment - high ceilings music room

    My studioroom has a (very) high ceiling at 4.5m and I also have a piano in it. Below you can see how I treated the walls. Panels went up in stages (that's why the different colours and sizes of panels) but what made the real difference was placing the bass-traps.

    New original mix - Child of the Elements

    Amazingly good. I like it. At first I thought of too much reverb but on second listen I got used to it.. and on third listen I thought it was just great!! Well done to you. This proves (among other things) that a good song with a good arrangment needs no expensive gear to shine!

    New Original - how's it sounding?

    Please don't delete this thread. It is indeed very useful. At least it was useful to me as it reminded me why I hardly ever come around here.

    Wood laminate flooring?

    Italy, as a matter of fact. A house built around 1400. And I am on the second floor. Walls are solid. Very solid. I can play (acoustic) guitar at 3 in the morning and no one hears me. Sorry if I am highjacking the thread. Didn't mean to... perhaps I'll post pics of my studioroom elsewere, if...

    Wood laminate flooring?

    Thank you miro, I was indeed very lucky to find this apartment. The ceiling is 4.5m high and it is also not flat, but it is devided into 4 small arches along its length. The walls are about 70cm thick.. mind you, the house is 500 years old. Here's a pic of it. I've not yet had the chance to...

    Wood laminate flooring?

    I have just finished re-building my room-studio and I used laminated throughout. Looks great and sound just the right side of lively for recording acoustic instruments. A smallish rug is at hand for increased deadening and also removable absorbing panels. Here's a couple of pics for ya!

    Recording DI bass guitar

    I think I've read all the replies in this thread.. is it really possible that no-one yet mentioned Waves Bass Rider? I am quite new here so I don't know.. is it not allowed to talk about plugins?
