    Speakers or Daw

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    I do most of my mixing on my Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro headphones, and then usually do mastering on my studio monitors. I tend to get pretty close, though, and I'm pretty sure there are several artists in this community who use headphones nearly exclusively as well, and they've managed to put out stellar tunes. Of course, you'll always want to check your mixes on other speakers (car stereos tend to bring out the worst in my mixes :) ), but getting a really good pair of headphones would probably be a completely worthwhile investment.

    EDIT: Along the lines of what Darangen said, I'm not really sure you need to move away from Live. It's a very competent piece of software, too.

    I'd recommend you get Logic. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but it's an insanely powerful piece of software and you can do so much with it. You might be able to get some good headphones at that price, too, but I don't think I could comfortably recommend buying monitors with that money. I have some fairly inexpensive monitors ($450 for the pair when I bought them), but they're complemented by a good, prosumer sound card ($200) as well as a subwoofer ($300) and crossover ($200) in order to mask their deficiencies. Definitely not cheap.

    Noisia's DmC Soundtrack

    Noisia is the awesomes. Haven't had time to sit down and listen to the soundtrack yet, but it's in my Spotify list. Can't wait to hear it.

    EDIT:

    not going to pretend that dubstep doesn't suck

    Quantify this and maybe you won't come off all pretentious, eh?

    EQing Drums on one track

    Look into using a multi-out patch. I'm sure Kontakt can do this, but since I don't own it I couldn't walk you through doing it. Basically, you can select each part of the drum set as going through a separate channel--hopefully someone else more familiar with this scenario than I am can chime in.
