To do this, I had to every time copy the final master to the flash drives and listen to the same output on multiple speaker systems, which again was a very time-consuming job if you’d ask me. But then there is a problem of referencing it on multiple other audio systems like the consumer audio speakers the Bluetooth speakers, and even our smartphone speakers. I have personally worked in so many big studios where a lot of engineers dream to work, and I thought having just a pair of monitors from a very well renowned company (like Genelecs, Dynaudio, and Fluid Dynamics) would solve the majority of my problem. The rest of everything falls right into the place, is what I used to think as well, but not really.
This is the main asset of any mixing/mastering engineer. If the room is very well acoustically treated, then comes the problem of either ear training, whether the engineer who is working in the studio is very well trained. The reasons may be numerous, tackling the root cause of the problem is the only way to get better mixes. I get your inquisitive indignation about the same thing but the point here is, there is no simple or an easy answer to this question, it gets really complex as to why, even today, engineers are still using two monitors set up and they do a really great job at getting the industry standard output from it.Ī lot of engineers I have seen, don’t use dual monitor setup, quite often fail to deliver that industry-standard mix. I get this from a lot of people throughout the journey of teaching students and also taking seminars, people have all sorts of wild theories about why mixing/mastering engineers use dual monitor setup studio when they have one single monitor to do the same work for them?
