Got some new mixing headphones. Why do I feel like I can’t judge my mix on them?
So my old mixing headphones (Avantone Mixphones) broke on Wednesday, so I ordered new ones which thanks to Thomann came yesterday in the mail (Beyerdynamics DT 900 Pro X) and those are wayyyyy flatter in response, especially in the low end, but way more detailed and focused.
And I feel more comfortable with them though I feel like I can’t judge the bass adjustments right.
It’s always to cloudy or too huge.
Is that just an adjustment thing of my ears/brain?
Do I need to get comfortable with them and that just takes time and a lot of listening sessions, with mixes from myself and others that I like a lot, to get to know them better?
I mostly listen and produce/mix extrem Metal Genres and some EDM and Hip Hop.
I feel like the bass sounds kinda dull.. but yeah maybe it’s just an adjustment thing?
