nowaysj, looks like we are both working with the exact same monitors/headphones. I experience ALL of the symptoms you have and my mixes end up dull if i only use the rokits to reference. I also A-B with the beyers, dre beats pros, shure in ear (forgot the model, about $150), and sometimes bluetooth ...

here is a thread that I started a few months ago that may have some useful information for you. I currently am using: bd dt770 pro 250 ohm with no amp, and the krk rp5's. I use the dr dre beats pro for comparison/louder volumes. I find that the 770's just don't get loud enough for me sometimes. http...

I am taking a look at the spl auditor/phonitor headphone amps. My questions are: 1)will these amps make a significant difference in translation from headphones to speakers? 2) Would i need to upgrade my headphones if I were to purchase one of these? End goal is still to have mixes that are produced ...

What interface/amp would you guys recommend? I use beyerdynamic dt 770 phones, and plug them directly into my mac headphone jack right now. Monitors are not an option due to noise restrictions, but I do have some krk rp5s that I use to reference and for final tweaking during mix downs(untreated room...

Distance/tunnidge snare in BLAME...also razor rekta-development. I know distance uses live drums a lot, but how those chestplate guys get their snares so huge, crisp, and up front is beyond me.

guess I'll be looking into the saturn vst then. do you think it provides a reasonable advantage over the stock ableton compressor, overdrive, filter, and saturator? I understand its probably much easier to come out with a quality sound with saturn though, but it comes with a price.

Ya I have looked at it a few times with spectrum in ableton. most of the notes hit at 54hz with the occasional dip down to 43 hz. all of the notes appear to be a sine as the waveform comes to a point. However using a high pass filter though I can still hear the top end of the bassline all the way up...

My question is how do you go from a sine wave to an 808 like this? I have spent at least 20 hours trying to get it close. When I look at the waveform it looks like it has been heavily compressed. I'm not sure how he gets it to stick out so much in his track. Even when I cut out all of my other frequ...

anyone in this area want to get together to share some techniques/give feedback on tracks? I've been at it for about 2 years now and use ableton. The sound I'm after is the deeper darker side (think distance and youngsta).

ya massive is my primary synth! send it over and I'll see if I can work it out. Thanks!

ya it does sound similar to that, maybe a little higher pitched, and a slower release on the filter to give it that airy feel. Maybe some subtle white noise but I can't seem to get anything close. How did you get that sound? I can use that as something to start messing with. Maybe I'll try sampling ...

I heard this in the n type basslaced podcast. I want to know how to make that atmospheric type synth that is coming in and out. I don't even know the name of the original track, but have heard in several mixes before. However, I think that this synth that he added over the top of it just really sets...
