I have to say, I'm impressed you manage to wrangle that sound of a gaming headset. It's pretty decent.
My argument still stands though. I'm not so much talking about whether you get something decent sounding out of it. Knowing your gear is always key and it doesn't have to be expensive.
I'm talking about transparency and control though. So if you use compression or eq, because your head set is coloured or not as accurate, you can't accurately judge what you are doing with an effect.
So yeah, while it's totally possible to make something cool that way, when you make precise, detailed changes to your mix you can't reliably predict what's going on and how it will sound on different systems.
Getting more precise monitoring, or even switching between different headsets, will remove a lot of that guess work.
Exactly, and thanks dude. I've been wondering how much easier it would be for me to work when producing if there was a proper setup for mixing and listening.
I wouldn't have to exhaust myself or my ears. Sometimes it gets a bit frustrating when it comes down to processing a track with effects and mixing. I will definitely grab decent studiomonitors to help myself out when I have the extra money for it.
