Mixing and Mastering: Difference between revisions

== Hardware ==

To mix correctly, speakers or headphones that provide an even listening experience are required.  Many will sound wildly different from one another, but professional and critical listening models will be calibrated properly.  In order for a sound device to be appropriate for mixing, it must have a flat frequency response.  This means that the device will produce an equally loud sound regardless of how high are low pitched the signal it receives is.  Listening to music with speakers that provide extra bass sacrifices clarity elsewhere, and gives you an experience that is skewed toward those frequencies.  It is long debated whether headphones or speakers are better for mixing; that will not be addressed here.
