I have questions about treating a room and getting it right, getting the right sounding headphones or even creating the right mix.
From my understanding, if our ears have a curved frequency response meaning high frequency we hear louder then mids and low we hear different than mids and highs.
Why do we look to create as flat a response in our speakers or rooms or from our headphones. is it because it will create as much transparency of the sound coming through?
and how does this relate to an individuals mix?
If someone is in a "a perfect room" (which i know is unexistent ) do they look to level their mix where everything is flat, or to how they feel their ears tell them. Not sure if this makes sense but lets say i mix a beat and to me i feel that the bass is well in the beat but other people listen to it and the feedback is the bass is too much or what may it. would that be due to the room in which i have mixed or just the misrepresentation of my ears.
The reason why I ask these questions is because i know their are people who can do really good mixes on just some headphones, where other people who have good monitors and rooms could have a terrible sound.
