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. | To mix correctly, speakers or '''headphones''' that provide an even listening experience are required.

Another important thing that is useful in music production is the '''Audio Interface''' which acts as an external sound card and as a device you can plug in instruments with. Generally speaking they are a bit more expensive but the sound quality will sound a lot better than plugging directly into the PC's sound port because the audio interface will directly interface with the computer using USB B or lightning cable. | |||
