Hey everyone! I just want to share my first release! Hope you want to listen, and if you enjoy the track, also support by following me. Constructive feedback is also most welcome!
For those with experience using Audeze LCD-X, AKG K-872, and Neumann NDH 30, which headphone do you consider most suitable for mixing and mastering in terms of tonal accuracy and translation?
I am currently using the Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro for mixing and mastering and am planning to upgrade.
Would upgrading from the DT 1770 Pro make a meaningful difference?
I’ve been recording vocals with a Shure SM7B, but I’m running into some issues. The recordings often sound peaky, jumpy, and uneven in dynamics, and the frequency balance feels inconsistent from take to take.
Even when I try to fix things in mixing, I run into more problems—for example, if I EQ and cut around 100–200 Hz (even just 2–3 dB), the vocal starts to sound thin very quickly. It’s been pretty frustrating to deal with.
I’ve also tried clip gain, volume automation, and even EQ automation/dynamic EQ, but it still doesn’t sound right or consistent.
I’m wondering if switching to a condenser microphone would improve the overall sound quality and consistency. Would a condenser mic help produce smoother dynamics and a more stable frequency response, or are these issues more likely related to my recording technique, room acoustics, or signal chain?
