references

Hi All -

I'm finally biting the bullet to try to get this right. I need a reference track and for some reason am coming up entirely blank.

I'm currently demoing Sonarworks reference 4 calibration software. It's pretty cool. Massive difference between "Calibrated" and off. Anyone else have experience with it?

I am planning to buy a low cost monitor for my homestudio mixing. Most offen i work with flute tracks. Do you prefer below monitor for my purpose ?

When mixing, do you ever use professional/commercial mixes as a reference?

Is this something you do often at your own studio, or only when you are mixing at another facility, where it helps you adjust to an unfamiliar environment? Or, do you use this method when using new speakers?

Hello all;
I have a fairly simple question, though am having trouble finding the answer. So, I thought I'd ask on a forum.

I hear this snare a lot in Trap. What Drum Machine creates this snare?

Sennheiser 280 HD pro
Sennheiser 380 HD pro
Audio-Technica ATH m50
KRK KNS 8400

internet has mixed review for all, though i was planning to get Sennheiser 380 HD pro, but still need the expertise advice to pick the right one.
thanks.

Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my drum overheads from AKG C 1000 S' to either Shure SM81's or AKG C 214's. Price and versatility are factors, but the main use will be as drum overheads. Opinionsor advice is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make a short list of songs to reference my mixes to.
1 or 2 songs for each styles of music.
I'm not searching for the most catchy or popular songs, I'm looking for the most sonicly accurate and/or those who sound good as a reference.

And the winner is, exactly what I use for tracking and hybrid stem mixing. However, sound quality and clocking is a different animal and not to be confused over these test results. I use a Prism Orpheus for capturing my 2-bus and as you can see, its way down on the list.

Check this one out:
