MIXING ON HEADPHONES VS MONITORS || My honest opinion on ACUSTCA AUDIO SIENNA, SONARWORKS & WAVES NX
headphone plugin shootout?? Another new plugin release 2021?? Yes that's right, I created a headphone calibration plugin comparison with some of the most popular room simulation plugins including Acustica audio plugins, waves audio virtual mixing plugins, sonarworks id-reference & good hertz canopener. Mixing on headphones has become the norm for most home studio audio engineers and there is a lot of music production software out there that claim to give you the best mixing environment within headphones so you know how to mix on headphones in the modern era .. so lets find out the results!
I set up a headphone eq calibration test using 3 best brands / most common manufacturer models of headphones - Sennheiser HD600, Beyerdynamic DT880 & Audio Technica ATH-M50X. I tested each plugins eq calibration and compared them level matched side by side to see if there are audible differences between each calibration.
I also created a headphone comparison of the headphone impulse responses of the acoustically treated rooms modelled so we can measure just how the plugins create studio environment and ambience of a professional mix room.
In terms of the song I used my second single change which actually comes out tomorrow. Will be on my channel very soon including music interviews, lyric video etc etc and even a mixing multitrack session for mixing wednesday members and patrons.
So, as well as revealing the results of my youtube community poll I am giving an unbiased review of acustica sienna and also my honest opinion on mixing with headphones and if we should be using room simulation software to mix with compared to mixing on monitors in an acoustically treated mix room.
