Hi there,
I just finished to mix/master a few tracks with Omnisphere synths in it. When listened on my Focal monitors they just sound great but then I had the idea of listening to these tracks on my laptop and TV speakers. Some synths are distorted from time to time, just like if the TV/comp speakers can't handle it.
My guess is those poor quality speakers are just too bad for Omnisphere synths that are really complex, they get overloaded because of too much transients. But I'd rather know this is because I'm doing something wrong, otherwise I will just have to change the synths. I mean, a lot of people listen to music through low quality speakers, what if they play my sound and it get disrtorted every 20 sec ?
It is good on my monitoring headphones but distorted on low quality headset aswell. The raw synth soud is as bad as the one with audio processing when it comes to this distortion.
Anyway, if someone's got a tip to get rid of this, let me know please, thanks
EDIT : I tried everything, cutting low or high frequencies, turning down synth's cutoff till there is almost no sound, lowering synth gain.. Still crappy distortion on every other speakers than monitoring material. This is driving me crazy, why would a synth do that ???
