How Do You Develop Mix Confidence?

Excellent philosophy from Grammy Award winning engineer and producer Dom Morley on developing mix confidence. Couldn’t agree more!

“…I’m a big fan of mixing on headphones. Headphones are great for mixing because they don’t care what sort of room you’re in, and the bang-for-buck with headphones is significantly greater than with speakers. I realise some people may take issue with this last point but look at it this way: the best headphones I’ve ever heard in terms of flat-response, un-coloured, detailed sound are the Rosson Audio Rad-0, a pair of which will set you back somewhere in the region of £2500. That’s some pricey headphones! But, if I wanted to buy a pair of speakers that gave me the same level of un-coloured, super-detailed mixing confidence then I’d probably need to spend around ten times that. And I would need to treat my room to the same level as well. All of a sudden, expensive headphones are starting to look pretty cheap…”
