@beautypill The LCDX are great. I ended up with the Focal Clears. They sounded just as good to me, but more comfortable. Checking out the newer high end headphones was a revelation. Couldn’t believe how far they’ve come.
Never bought expensive headphones before. Farthest I’ve ever gone has been the Focal studio headphones (circa $400). I have heard friends/fellow producers raving about Audeze LCDX headphones and I’m curious now. I’m spending more and more time working with headphones.
This is one fancy-ass case for a switch!
Upgraded the attenuator in my line amp to this DACT piece, and this is what it came in.
Sonically, it's made quite a big difference. Everything seems clearer and it… instagram.com/p/CCB0Kc8AKok/…
@sydneygalbraith Yeah, that's where Pro Tools has the advantage. Cant customize much...but it works the same in every room! Even other Reaper users probably wouldn't recognize my setup...it's crazy customized at this point.
@MojitoMastering Yeah everything is customizable in reaper, which is great to a degree, but I’m almost always operating within someone else’s customized sessions so changing things is... discouraged.
Did some modifications today on my main speakers (Zu Omens). Upgraded the capacitor in the tweeter x-over. Even though they're the same value, notice the difference in size. The new cap is the Duelund. The old one… instagram.com/p/B8NI0rEgWrq/…

Congrats to markkelsodrums on this well deserved Juno nomination! I was honoured to be involved with this record. Andrew Mullin provided the incredible mixes. It's a fantastic record...go check it out! instagram.com/p/B74Lj7ZA_qM/…
Opened up my monitor controller to do make some modifications (preamp in audiophile vernacular). I hadn't looked inside in a while and forgot what a monster wiring job this was. I think I may still have brain damage… instagram.com/p/B7WqSNNgIlK/…
Two of my favourite rooms from the Toronto Audio Fest this past weekend. I now own speakers from both companies.
First is Frank Fazzalari’s (Coherent Audio) GR15’s. Every time I’ve heard Frank’s speakers,… instagram.com/p/B3-Wa3HAabW/…
Took these bad boys out of the rack, and put them up for sale today. They served me well for 4 years. Now, my signal chain is completely custom built and tube based. So, even though the Chandlers are fantastic… instagram.com/p/B0ZQryIg66V/…
Out of curiosity, what's your DAW of choice for mastering work? And do you do mixdowns in a different DAW?
For @blackknoll@stephanmathieu@taylordeupree@poryahatami and anyone else who might like to chime in :)
Testing out StudioOne for the first time to see what it's like
EQ settings from a Latin pop master. Nothing too fancy here, so I thought I’d talk about the actual EQ I use.
I’ve had a few people ask if this TDR EQ is my main EQ. Yup! I did some tests a year ago, and found… instagram.com/p/BzfydElAAjP/…
New headphones day!
I've been using headphones as a secondary reference more often lately. So, I thought it was time to upgrade from my Sennheiser 650's. These are the Focal Clears.
I'm still formulating my… instagram.com/p/BzRYNK3gijQ/…
