The 30-Second Mix Test: What Your First Impression Hears Does Matter
Your ears are sharpest the moment you press play. After that, your brain starts filtering out the problems, not fixing them. Read why the 30-second rule changes how you mix, and the resets that actually work. 🎧
Great article! Thanks for these tips. I developed a similar method of taking notes with fresh ears, but I never thought to do it via voice memo, that's a great idea so I can stay more in the moment and don't have to pause to look at the timestamp or anything. And great disctinction on loudness fatigue vs content fatigue / familiarity
I use headphones for everything except the panning games. I find it much easier to detect direction when the sound is coming from speakers than headphones.
Lilke @Aike East mentioned, try to use all of your gear. The whole idea is to learn to identify how your space sounds.
That said, I highly recommend that both, your monitors and your headphones are as flat sounding as possible (either with room treatment, good brands, calibration software, etc). In my case, my room is not treated but i have SoundID for speaker calibration and I also bought my headphones from them.
This is a greaaaaaat and fuuuuun place... welcome aboard !!!! You are about to be transformed !
