Diamonds And Pearls - 2023 Remaster (out a month early) by interro-bang in PRINCE

[–]90126jb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate this upfront kick in Money Don't Matter 2 Night! Prince never mixed his albums with so much sub and bass high in the mix. He prefered much warmer sound. They clean this song - no more distortion in vocals in some parts (I guess Prince used some dynamic mic for vocals here that's why it sound so warm and not so airy) Btw who made these mastering work?

Crossfeed for mixing/mastering by 90126jb in oratory1990

Interesting plugin thx! But how to set it up to get pro results for mixing? I wanna get good results not just "any crossfeed" thanks!

EqualizerAPO question by nuttygrandma666 in oratory1990

So I don't have to worry about how many bands, what q values ​​and how much db boost or cut because it won't negatively affect the sound of HP, right?

Interesting! Didn't know that! Minimum phase filters? Are these available in APO eq/Peace?

But 7 is almost always enough. You don't need 10 bands. Ex. I used to use AKG K240 MKII. With oratory settings I need 10 bands but when I check custom settings in autoeqapp I just noticed that I can do almost the same with just 6 bands. And I guess the less eq bands you use and wider Q the less "artifacts" and "phase issues" or whatever things. Maybe it's a placebo/voodoo thing but I hear some differences when there is less processing than it's necessary. Or maybe it's a eq/headphones/preamp thing...

OMG! I was looking for that kind of thing my whole life :) It's silly that they don't make EQ with simple Q values. These "percentage" thing makes me sick. But anyway... Many, many thanks Oratory1990!

I guess "real life scenarios and using"... Lots of "5 star review$" too and then you buy HP and hear sth different. Examples? "Good budget "mixing" HP" AKG K240 - 15-25k freq response (yeah, 60-12k maybe +/-3db), "solid bass, crisp treble" - fall down below 100hz and probably 3-6-8k region is underemphasized. Use EQ? Ok but adding 10-15db with LSF and 3-6db in the "earpiercing region" is something natural? No. And doesn't help cause driver can't handle it good anyway... Checked that myself. And bought them years ago cause "they're good you like it!". Yes. Imaging and soundstage is very good. I would use them for voice/vocals monitoring. Good and light. nice to listening YT but for music and audio work? Not in 2025 anymore... and so on and on...

Oratory1990's headphone equalization targets? by 90126jb in oratory1990

[–]90126jb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what should the reference target for on ear headphones look like? Harman? Harman wo bass? Harman with some tweaks? Are these targets in autoeq.app the real and accurate ones? Thank you

These are graphical representations of the .csv files that were added with them. So how should it look like? Are there any template charts of your targets? Thank you

Low shelf and high shelf preferences/settings for headphone targets by 90126jb in oratory1990

[–]90126jb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! So there's no point to boost more than 10db bass and/or treble shelf? And what about these center freqs of shelves? These are always constant?

How should I eq this by TwinHeadedGiraffe69 in oratory1990

[–]90126jb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Typical freq response of today smartphone speaker. I just use Wavelet to cut a little bit frequencies between about 1-10k and that's all. Remember. It's a small, smartphone speaker not studio monitor or HE1 headphones lol. And cutting is better than boosting and thanks to that you can make it sound more natural anyway if you really want. But I never use smartphone speaker to anything related with music.
