I’ve never personally seen any evidence to support these claims.<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, I wanted to get to the bottom of this. Thus, this blog article and video below was born!<\/p>\n There are a few known “problems” that can occur when mixing with headphones. The biggest potential problem is that the sonic image on headphones is much different than when using studio monitors.<\/strong><\/p>\n Headphones create a soundstage that feels linear from one ear, through the head of the listener, to the other ear. This makes it hard to visualize a real space for the music to live. Consequently, making panning and mixing decisions can be confusing.<\/p>\n Another issue is that the frequency response of headphones can be tricky to get right. The overall frequency response that we know and love in a treated and tuned studio doesn’t necessarily translate the same way to headphones. They have their own “targets” that closely mimic the sound in a real space.<\/p>\n Because of these disadvantages, there has been a big push to discover ways to overcome these potential problems with headphones. Companies like Sonarworks, Waves, dSONIQ,\u00a0 GoodHertz, among other companies have come up with solutions to address these issues.<\/p>\nProblems With Mixing and Mastering Using Headphones<\/h2>\n
