Hi guys!!
I know how important it is to check your music on multiple devices. But the problem is that it won't sound the same for everyone.
What criteria do you use to adjust it?
I have the Presonus Eris E5 XT active monitors which sound great, but I mostly work with headphones. I don't have the room acoustically prepared, and I can't have it. And most of the time I do it at night, so I have to use headphones.
I have the Beyerdynamics DT880 Pro for production (with Sonarworks Reference that Im just trying). I also have some Superlux 668B, which I used before.
On my mobile phone, I have been listening to music for pleasure with JBL earbuds for a long time. I like them a lot since they have good bass and for my style of music, works awesome.
I also always carry the original white Samsung in-ear with cable, in case I run out of battery in the JBL.
Besides, I have the Vieta Way2 headphones that my wife uses sometimes, and a Vieta Pro bluetooth speaker, one of those cylinder-shaped ones that is many years old...
Now I think I have my first song (niceeeee!!! ) quite well balanced and with really good sound on my DT880 Pro. And it also sounds very good on the Superlux.
On the JBL, it sounds with a lot of bass and some instruments like the rattles (a type of shaker) are lost a little.
In the Samsung, the bass is lost a lot and the mids rise a lot. They have a slightly more squeaky sound.
In the Vieta headphones, the sound in general is quite dull, but I have barely used them, so I have no reference to other music.
What am I supposed to do? Modify the sound guided by the BEST headphones? Or make it sound as good as possible on the ones I know best and use the most, even though it may not be "the best" sound?
I have several professionally mastered commercial tracks of the same genre (more or less), that I have listened to millions of times for pleasure before starting to produce.
And the truth is that all these songs behave the same on different devices, but "in general" they sound more balanced.
How do you decide?
Many thansk!!
