In this video, I'll show you why I never mix on headphones without using the Harman Curve Target EQ. This free tool has transformed the way I mix on headphones!
? ? ? IMPORTANT:
A few things I didn't mention in this video:
Just note that I use the Cubase Pro Control Room Inserts to insert my EQ plugin for my headphones. If you don't have Cubase Pro, and you insert a Headphone EQ on your Master Out channel, don't forget to bypass it when exporting your mix ;) Watch this video: https://youtu.be/AoVm1FO8AJI
Like Paul Third commented below, it is important to note that the low end boost required for the Harman curve may end up causing colouration/increased distortion in some cheaper dynamic headphones. Planar Magnetic headphones will tend to take this type of EQ low boost better than some Dynamic Headphones.
