producing on headphones (any Audio Technica ATH M50 owners?) Posted on: 02.06.2013 by Bernard Pulizzi I've been producing for around a year now, and I need some good gear
to produce on (audio-wise), and since I don't have an acoustically treated room, I figure headphones are the best route.I have looked around at various different pairs and obviously require a flat frequency response so that I can hear the different freqs and sounds accurately. Everywhere has recommended the Audio Technica ATH M50s for production and mixing, does anyone have any experience with these, and have they helped your productions? For the record, I will be purchasing M-Audio BX8 monitors for DJing, so they would provide a second form of reference, after mixing has been completed on my headphones.. whaddayabelieve? | |
| Bernard Pulizzi 02.06.2013 | ahhh that's quite good then, I just need a pair as balanced as possible! I keep convincing myeslf I need headphones, but then I keep wondering if it's worth it to use monitors in an untreated room? Some say that's the worst idea possible, but I've watched "producers houses" on Youtube and there are a few pros that don't appear to use any acoustic treatment?! |
| Dannie Dimora 02.06.2013 | m50s are great little sturdy headphones, comfy as hell, and have this immense cable that permits you to basically walk around your house without having to unplug them. I haven't used them for productions at my studio, but i used them in several friends' homestudios which were not acoustically treated, so same problem as yours. They are very balanced, but i wouldn't use them for djing since i love to have a thumping bass telling me where the kick actually is when i'm mixing |
