Okay, so I tried it with my ATH-M5Ox. Immediately made a difference in the bottom where I had some excessive lows pouring through but which didn't match my mind's ear (like when listening to your mix through the monitors). I'm 59, so the highs were a little less evident, but everything seems to sit 'in the pocket' the way it should using this.

I know there is great software out there that is supposed to do this, but if you just want to use a good EQ, this might be the deal.

Post your results!

thanks for posting this, but I have a question about it.

A useful "hack" could be a nice way (script) of using the downloaded text file from autoeq.app website and converting it to the various EQ plugin's own preset data formats. I know you can do this by manually inputting the data. But for someone like this guy who may have many pairs of different headphones, it would be helpful. Example, say you want to do some adjustments using the site to create a new file; and then spit out multiple versions for each set of headphones you might own. Going back and manually adjusting each one could be time consuming. Especially with certain EQ plugins people might use, many of them only export presets as encrypted data.

This is still less tedious than using images and converting to csv files. Are you just manually entering the data into your EQ plugins?

Not sure if this is the same video but I watched the video from him about using Harman curves when mixing with headphones and it made a huge difference for me. I'm currently using the Realphones demo with the Harman Headphone Targets preset and my DT990 Pro for that and it seems very useful. I still need to check with my KRKs but my headphone mixes increased immensely and as I have to mix in my thin walled apartment and I'm listening and mixing 95% on my headphones this was definatly a good tipp.

I'm sure a EQ would do just as well or even better but I was to lazy to set it up.

 

yeah, mixing on harman curve seem to work for me. better translates my mix to speakers. also using ath-50x with Morphit from Tone Boosters, just don't forget to turn it off when rendering (like i often do) ;)

This is what i'm telling ppl for YEARS

You only need a crossfeed ("stereo image like speakers") AND an EQ correction.
That's all.

On my side, i use 112db Redline Monitor for years.
It is simple AND effective.

Will try Auto EQ against it, BUT you need a crossfeed too !
