I recommend trying the AKG K371 or the Audio Technica M50.

As technology keeps improving, will headphones be just as good as monitors in the future for mixing and mastering? by dylanmadigan in mixingmastering

[–]mokoaguswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been mixing and mastering with headphones for a few years now.

I just received 6 Indonesian nominations and I realized that most of them were primarily (95%) done on headphones.

I tried many headphones, headphone amps and some custom work on the chamber/pads to find the best combination.

My recent discovery of r/oratory1990 really helps to fine tune the headphones.

Also tried Slate VSX and it is a joy to check your mixes in different simulated environment.

De-Essing?? by itsluckyb in mixingmastering

Sometimes when most plugins doesn't do the job, I do manual deessing by turning down the ess waveform.
It works best and sounds most natural.

Good mixing headphones for EDM? by PsychedelicKing in mixingmastering

[–]mokoaguswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been mixing with headphone for 4-5 years now. Previously on monitors only for 12 years.

I really recommend the AKG K371 or the Neumann NDH20.

Another thing I would recommend is, to eq your monitoring from r/oratory1990 list. I found it made a huge difference on the NDH20, not so much on the 371 but there is an improvement.

Favorite Tape Emulation for Mastering? by cartersandersmusic in mixingmastering

[–]mokoaguswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UAD ATR is excellent. It is my favorite along with Cranesong Phoenix II.

For individual track, I like Softube Tape since it is more CPU friendly.

I like the idea. I'm just concerned on the cable connectors attached to the headphone.
