    Sonarwork alternative for headphones and monitors correction?

    Dirac Live (as a plug-in) is a premium option for speakers correction. Better than Sonarworks (used to own both). Speaking of headphones correction - with semi-open design I prefer not to use correction at all. While used to have individual calibration profile for Sonarworks for closed-back...

    Neumann NDH30 headphones

    Well, yes and no. I am a bit biased towards what have now. If I were going with HD490 - I would have praising their comfort, price and level of details in both lows and highs to make better mix decisions. One day I might get a switch. It is just so when had both I tend to use Neumanns less due...

    Neumann NDH30 headphones

    Pads do a make a noticeable change in sound. And I settled on producer’ pads for softer bass and may be or may be not even a bit less exaggerated highs (some might call it flat, but there were way too much of them for me). Prefer to have a cable on left side too - but was annoyed more with non...

    Used to own both for a month. Wrote my first impression on GS. Was thinking to stick to HD490 and sell NDH30. But returned HD490 (because I could), and somehow have decided to stay with slightly more premium Neumanns (look & feel). There a bit details in “low lows” in HD490 (someone mentioned...

    I would like to warn everyone that it is a noise fest with loudest noise burst you’ve ever experienced.

    SCALE SWEEP: The Easier Way to Perform Glissandos and Runs. A Workflow Tool From Grumpy Monkey.
