Awesome thanks @cowparsleyman I will check that out instead.
Another quickie: When switching between my speakers and headphones, should I be switching off the room correction? I assume because they are correcting THE ROOM, I shouldn't need the EQ for the headphones?
If that's the case I should expect the sound between my speakers and cans to be closer than before?
Although I think I know the answer already I thought I'd run it past you guys anyway.
jack, it really depends on the headphones, it's very likely they will not be near the same as the corrected speaker environment.
Even if they are really top end reference cans, it's unlikely they'll respond the same.
The same speakers will sound different if wound up to very loud, to being very quiet, the human ear perceives frequencies differently and different SPL's (Sound Pressure Levels)
In my experience, I would decide which environment I want to work in most, cans or speakers, and then stick to that, don't jump about too much, you'll find it hard to judge, and start changing the mix, based on the differences you hear, it's really important to have a fixed reference environment.
I tend to listen in Mono as I go, to me that's more important than listening on speakers.
I know it's useful to keep the cans at a fixe level, try not to touch the Monitor level, and you'll find your mixes will be comparatively even, use the usual loudness meters, and keep an eye on the DR (Dynamic Range), generally a wide DR is a more interesting mix.
The other thing is how you approach a mix, for example I have phases where I want a bit more bass in my mixes, and I can only control that if I know my environment like the back of my hand, also how my tools work, one has to know how say the Elysia Alpha Compressor's LPF works as opposed to the Shadow Hills Class A, you can only get consistent results if that is the only thing that is changing, once you introduce too many variables, I only use my speakers as a post production check, and say Yip that's sounds OK, then in the car, and as a private stream from soundcloud on a couple of different earbuds.
If on all those sources it sounds OK, then bingo.
Hope this helps
