Monitor Headphones?

[StressWon]

Do monitor headphones help in beat makin' more then stereo headphones? My mix downs sound off most off the time. I of course mix in my headphones, but mine arent monitors.

Yea you should use monitors. Other shits distort the true sound. You should look at the Sony MDR-V700 headphones. You can get a pair for around $100.

Jus dont purely use those to monitor all time Stress - Try and bounce back and forth between your monitors and your headphones.

yeah, I need them to mix down my songs. I'll use my stereos to record my vocals. My stereos are nice too. i got the Maxell HP-2000 Studio Series Digital Heads. Nice too.

You really need some reference monitors to compliment your headphones is what i meant tho....I used to do the same thing where i would only monitor through headphones (stanton-s2000's) because listening back through my shitty pc speakers obviously wouldnt cut it and tha phones i have were a better reference. Once i decided to get some monitors tho, i could really tell what sounds needed to be where, etc. compared to before. I find that a good balance between the 2 work best. I mostly monitor with the KRKs, but if i want to hear close up intricities i pop the phones on.

i got a pair of some pretty dope akg's, i like good headphones when im sampling so u can hear the sample really well and clear

 

[Shonsteez]

Yeah, i agree - they come in real handy for that too.
