Its used a lot when mixing for film, calibrating all 6 speakers (or more these days!) to the correct mixing levels, about 85dB for film (or bigger depending on the room)....music-wise its probably only used when mixing in large professional studios, i wouldnt worry about it too much for the home studio set-up, although angling your speakers correctly and making sure their set at the same level is obviously useful. hope that helped __ Sephiroth Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/sephiroth_rees Sephiroth Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/sephirothdnb C-Sonix Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/c-sonix C-Sonix Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/csonix 11-08-2010 16:17 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Production questions & answers » mixing down to pink noise?
