VSX Essentials Edition : U really need them!

2 years ago

I've been skeptical for a while since I honestly thought it was more a commercial move rather than a real game changer but... I was wrong. Like really.

I've been using also some top of the game headphones with top simulating studios softwares but, well it's not the same as the VSX.

I've been buying the basic package so, you don't really need dozen of rooms to have a good mix. I am just using the Steven's studio and the car and it's already good enough to have a great reference.

As a side note, I am pretty happy with the response of my physical room, not really so far from the response of the headphones.

Anyway.

VERY RECOMMENDED:

Get your ears used to the VSX sound with some reference tracks before blindly mixing; they suggest at least one hour, but I must confess it took me pretty much less than this since I really felt everything on the right place after minutes.

The only very very tiny thing, in my very personal opinion, is the comfort.

They are comfortable, don't get me wrong, but after a while I feel like a need to remove them and take a break, anyway they are light enough for long sessions if needed.

I still would recommend to use them as an alternative listen to your main room if possible and keep comparing mixes, especially in the SUV environment simulation.

But trust me, after mixing in Slate Room you really won't need anything else if you want to.

Go for it!
