Not at all. It is a deep conversation about headphones, mixing on headphones, mixing in general, personal taste, and even gets philosophical as we're trying to figure out what a good monitoring system actually is. Rok answered our questions in a very open, smart way and challenged us with interesting questions, as well.We covered:Mixing on headphones vs speakersMobile recording/mixingReliable portable rigsHow to choose the right headphones for youOpen vs closed backCalibration softwareFrequency responseWhat matters besides frequency responseSustainabilitySupport and repairPricing and economics behind making and selling headphonesAnd more.Enjoy!--For links to everything we've mentioned in this episode, as well as full show notes go to: theselfrecordingband.com/251--If you have any questions, feedback, topic ideas or want to suggest a guest, email us at: [email protected]
