:lol: hey l do that for real. Thank you for the free comedic promotion :nod: :lol:

I would charge him $30 for a musical mix and $50 for one track including vocals. :worthy: thank you


Honestly, that's not a bad price for an excellent mix. I know a few folks out here that charge much more.

It's Sunday and I don't feel like going into String Theory. :lol: However, I've tried those simulation and it's not a substitute. If it was, Dolby, THX. DTS would be out of business. :popcorn:

What to do a mix?
I wouldn't recommend that, and why? I have them and use them as reference and pleasure listening headphones.

They concentrate more on the bass out of the norm of lets say Sennheiser HD 600s which are open back headphones which one should mix in. ATx50s are closed back noise canceling headphones.

Sennheiser HD 600s have a wider over the ear fitting and velvet ear cushion than the ATx50s ear cushion. But you can buy velvet ear cushion for the ATx50s cause l have a pair.
But the bass dound so good in the ATx50s.

:shock: Oh man when you daid Sunday l almost thought you were going to say some digital religious ish lol

Its a mixing tool, its not to put Dolby,THX or DTS out of business. There's a chick named Alicia something, she does mix for movies music. She uses the Waves tracker and a bunch of pros using that.

But there's the CharlesRandolph l know trying to f*** up someone's post with his digital kung fu techniques :lol:

Thanks bro.
Yeah top pros can cost :shock: l have seen some numbers! OMG!
I remember when l didn't know how to mix and didn't have the dough so l offer a comfortable price. Keep saving and it builds up. :mrgreen:
Do a good job and they will keep coming back.
When l want a different ear l use grammy award winning Tim Sonnefld for Ushers album, he's on speed dial!.

Funny thing l didn't like to mix but now l do.
My thing is if you wear many hats you can have income coming from different directions and make yourself very valuable. :wink: :nod:

I’ve been going back and forth between my Sennheiser 280 Pros, and my old ass Sony MDR V700s. Of course I get different volume levels and clarity with each, and depending on which piece of gear I’m using, however, after picking up the One on Fri, the volume is much louder than any other synth, drum machine, or groove box I own. Probably actually louder with the older Sony headphones, but I just turn the master down a bit, and I’m good with my Sennheiser 280s. My ears are kinda banging from using them on so many multiple devices, that I’m thinking of looking at a new pair with good isolation like the NDH 20s, or a good pair designed for portability, when I’m not in my studio space, something like the Focal Listen Pros. I think I def have some hearing damage from 25 years of playing guitar, listening to music all day at top volume with AirPods, and going to a couple decades worth of shows, stupidly without earplugs of any sort. I just can say, that I noticed last night just how loud the output is, combined with my apparent hearing loss, when I let my wife put the Senn 280s on, and she jumped back and flung them off. I’d rather have it be loud though, than barely audible like the OP-1.

I've never tried that, but it sounds like you have experience. So I'll I just learn from you. :lol: You know how Los Angeles is. Lots of studios, gear reps, and college and recording schools. So I get the chances to use and demo lots of things.

You should never listen to music at high volumes. This can cause Tinnitus, ringing in the ear. Ear fatigue comes with this also.
