Im actually quite surprised with the response to this thread...i honestly didnt realise that so many people do the majority of their mixing in the headphones only. I thought I was the odd one out cos of all the people I know use the monitors to mix.

Someone said earlier that they use the one ear in/one ear out when mixing the next track in and Im the same. When I am bringing the track in I use the headphones only to make sure that the beats are in-line. Once in-line, I then bring the track in while listening to the monitor in one ear and having the headphones set to the incoming track in the other ear. When I was asking if people mixed using headphones only, I meant for mainly beatmatching.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I do too. It seems like you can stay focused on the mix more if you use both phones and monitors.

they work very well, at least the better models, on low and constant noises. On planes for example, they work great for the engine noise, but for music, with irregular noise, and more than just low rumbles, I doubt they'd work anywhere near as well.

still would be good if they did, to be able to have the headphone levels lower instead of cranked to overcome outside noise would save a lot of people's hearing

I mean really...what the fuck is it with all these retards and their "mixing modes"


Be versatile, adapt to conditions at hand because lord knows they're never the same, even in your own bedroom...

Maybe some have preference between those mixing mode and this is what this thread is about. Don't just post some cool, well written answer that doesn't even add shit to the thread.
