When music producers work, deciding between mixing with headphones or studio monitors is vital to the result of the mix or song. If your choice is using monitors as a music producer, here are some pros and cons you should take into consideration: 1-The Pros of Mixing on Monitors -Ear Health: Although speakers can still cause ear fatigue or hearing loss if used inappropriately, you feel slightly freer when you are working on speakers and not quite so restricted with a cord dangling from your head. -Closer to the Final Result: Headphones can give you increased frequency response, so starting on a speaker will get you that much closer to your final product and what other listeners will truly experience. 2-The Cons of Mixing on Monitors -Studio Qualities: An untreated room (acoustically) can give you a completely different response than a treated room. This is also true for how your speakers are placed in the studio and how the room itself is designed. -The Bottom Line: Overall, it is preferable to mix with studio monitors. You have extra depth and volume that headphones lack, which can really give a track that extra boost it needs. It is always your choice to use either headphones or studio monitors! https://www.aimm.edu/blog/is-it-better-to-mix-on-headphones-or-speakers Atlanta Institute of Music and Media 2875 Breckinridge Blvd #700, Duluth, GA 30096 (770) 242-7717
