so i need some real advice on this. i have gamepower medusa 7.1 at home and i didnt like the mix they did in the studio so i want to do it myself as i like it. how can i balance the eq of this headphone properly so that it is as flat as possible for mixing? how can i know? also i saw some plugins for mixing with headphones for instance by waves like abbey road studio 3. should i get into those things? im kinda newbie about all these but im eager and enthusiastic. let me know what i should know. thanks

 

i would listen to a lot of music with those headphones, so i'd get a clearer picture what it can do , how it sounds. remember, it's not ideal.

Listen to a lot of music thru those, and if you have to provide a mix while having them as the only reference you got then I've got only a couple of pieces of advice:

Never ever pan anything hard left or right. Tone down your reverb sends. Be very careful about the bass area of your mix, hipass is your friend.

 

why no hard pan?

 

Even with proper pan law it highlights the hard panned element and outside your comfy speakers it sounds unnatural.

Headphones are audio microscopes, right? What works with them doesn't necessarily work outside them.
