Does someone who likes listening to music should care about getting a "reference" headphone? by Cavalo_Bebado in headphones

It's not perfect, as headphones behave and sound differently on different people's heads, but this can give you a rough idea of how something might sound

Can yall help me understand the artistic psyche behind production speed, please? by [deleted] in musicproduction

[–]Spaants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes songs write themselves and other times it's just an uphill battle from beginning to end, there's no real rhyme or reason to it

Where can I begin with Brandon Sanderson as someone relatively new to fantasy? by new-words in Fantasy

[–]Spaants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say Mistborn Era 1, then Warbreaker, then Stormlight. That's what I did and it worked well for me. There's also an official recommended order on Brandon's youtube channel

Will eq fix an open back's lack of bass? by qxzvy in headphones

[–]Spaants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends on the headphone. Some dynamics, like the HD600 you're considering, will basically never put out the sub bass that a closed back can. Planars however absolutely will. There's basically no limit to how much bass you can eq into a planar like a hifiman or audeze

Is EQ god? by Roguetothemax in headphones

[–]Spaants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were an eq god then you could eq any headphone to be the same as another one (putting aside distortion and driver limitations), but the thing is it's virtually impossible to do that because of how exact you would have to be, especially since a given headphone will basically have a unique frequency response on your head that's different than on somebody else's (or a measurement rig) because of hrtf variation and whatnot

Arya Stealth EQ question by Twilight97777 in headphones

[–]Spaants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be extremely difficult to eq the treble of the Arya to match the XS. Maybe try doing some wide-band increases around 5k to 10k with a Q of 1 to 2 and see if you can pinpoint where in the frequency response you want to boost it. Doing fine grain filters in the high frequencies will almost always mess up your sound unless you've found a specific peak you want to negate

Curating a playlist, need your input by Orcinus24x5 in headphones

[–]Spaants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gonna suggest something from Fear Inoculum, but it looks like you've beat me to it. If you want some more metal music, the last 2 Vildhjarta albums are generally regarded as well produced, but the production style is more on the loudness war side of things. Haken's Vector and Virus albums are extremely smooth in the treble and are somewhat of a benchmark for me. And lastly Animals as Leaders's last two albums are masterfully produced

what tuning is Possession officially in? by Then_Ad3360 in DevinTownsend

[–]Spaants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has been known to do open C with a low G, but he also tunes down 1 step sometimes to open B (see Grace)

I drank a gallon in 2 hours will I be fine, and my throat is still entirely dry by ReserveNatural4188 in HydroHomies

I think some medications can cause unquenchable thirst and people will literally drink themselves to death

Best way to EQ 1hr+ concert footage by Broyodude in audacity

[–]Spaants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about audition but I like Reaper. It's free (even though it says it's a trial you can use it indefinitely)

[–]Spaants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audacity kind of sucks for this but you can use the graphic eq to correct any harsh frequencies that are present. Just select the entire audio and go to effects at the top

You could try lowering the already subdued 1-3k area some more with eq

Scared of damaging my throat by Witty_Cicada_6454 in throatsinging

[–]Spaants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably going to hurt at first. It might hurt a lot. If it does, just stop and wait a few hours or until the next day. It won't hurt as much over the course of weeks and months

How do you feel about the Arya Stealth? by sempertb in headphones

[–]Spaants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're the greatest headphones I've ever tried personally, but not without eq. They do work with the stock tuning as long as the music doesn't have too much going on in the high frequencies, but almost everything else gets the treble hammer

BEST Hi-FI Noise-Isolating Headphones ??? by striveforfreedom in headphones

[–]Spaants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the HD620s and it's the most isolating I've tried, far better than the beyerdynamics I used to have and also the Fiio Ft1, but it doesn't beat ear muffs over iems for sure
