Ah, the classic 'flex the success in the title' move-works like a charm when the content's more predictable than a plot twist in a rom-com. 😅 Maybe mix it up a bit next time? Fresh angles keep the audience hooked!
First, congrats on your number of streams. One could argue that this is the only thing that matters. But as a sound engineer for 15 years, just about every part of what you've suggested made me cringe. First mistake is working on a mac. You're a fashion victim paying through the nose to join the club of the exploited. And why is your studio on a laptop??? Get a real computer with a studio sound card. It seems everyone is on ProTools (you can get both the sound card and the software). Personally, I prefer a RME card (I'm using a Fireface UFX) with Cubase Studio as software, but both setups are professional, although RME products are far superior to Protools cards. In your case, since you don't record like a whole band at a time, you could just get a RME Babyface sound card and it would be enough. Then for speakers: everyone low budget uses KRK Rockits. If you want to invest more, I use Sony HR80s, which are the equivalent of NS10s, but with a bigger woofer, so you hear the bass without needing a sub. The important thing is that you ring out your room, i.e. run your system through a spectrum analyzer with pink noise and adjust the EQ so that you are hearing correctly each frequency. You talk a lot about trusting your system: that's how you do it. Finally headphones. WTF??? The only headphones you'll ever need (unless you're a DJ and only care about isolation in a noisy environment) are the Sony MDR 7506. That's the industry standard for all sound techs everywhere. Once you've mixed with your calibrated speakers, you don't care what it sounds on inferior gear like airpods. You can't mix for those. That's crazy! But it should sound fine if you've corrected your monitors for your room in the first place. Look, I know sharing your gear list is an intimate thing to do and you've put yourself out there. Cudos for that! But When sharing gear preferences, maybe spend a little more time on like gearslutz.com in the professional section before spitting out advice ;)
MDR 7506's are quite specific in sound and don't give you the flat Freq response. The best headphones and monitors are the ones you got used to. I can't stand 990 PRO's for example (because I never got used to them in the span of 5 months), but I got used to 770s, and to Yamaha HPH-mt7, and I will never say that 990s are bad, they are not good for me specifically. If some pros used 7506's and now it's "the only pair of headphones you'll ever need" in your opinion, it's a very subjective way of thinking (it's idiotic to push someone completely subjective opinion). 7506's, however, are quite popular for studio use (mostly because of the decent mid freq-s. and cheap price) and every pro studio should have one pair of these. Same with DT 770 Pro, and the same with HD 650s, but calling someone else's setup "cringe" is cringe itself. I'm not defending the author, I just simply think you're dumb.
@@IvanBlinov-po5mj I’m glad to see that atleast 1 other person sees my point of view, Thanks for your comment. Like I said in the video, I have listened to regular music on these headphones for so long to understand how they react to frequencies, and they might not be the best for everybody but it works for me and I get good results. When I first read this guys comments, I just realised he didnt know what he was talking about, but I dont spread negativity online so i just laughed it off. Thanks for watching!🙏🏾
@@IvanBlinov-po5mj They are the industry standard, for every sound tech I ever saw (but not for DJs, like I said, who have different needs), and you see them also in every Hollywood movie out there. It's not opinion, it's 15 years working as a professional sound technician and sound engineer. How can you say they aren't flat, did you spectrum analyze them? I'm a "science is always right" kind of guy, so prove me wrong ;) You are right, though, about the fact that you get used to the sound profile of what you hear. 7506s are great for the fact they don't hide aggressive frequencies. They don't "try to make it sound nice".
In love the backpack😂, learning so much from you. Sending Love from Nigeria.
Hehehe Awesome! Thank you!
Cool
Thank you!

Lol. It’s obvious you’ve spent so much time in your own world. But who cares As long as you’re happy😂. Have a great 2025!
@@8notes_ I'm happy you're not offended. I hope you learn something from my post. Have a great 2025 yourself! :)
