9. Re: Mixing using Headphones

["hartogj" hartogj]

The definition of "mixing" was confusing from the beginning of this muddy 
thread. 
Is mixing limited to only the combining of separate sounds or tracks, or is the 
meaning extended to include other post production processing techniques that 
may be applied to an original recording?

For critical analysis and fine adjustments of any recording, I will go along 
with the experts on this group who have in the past many times recommended good 
monitors and good headphones, and an acoustically treated space.  Listening 
with two more different pairs of good headphones is better than using only one 
pair.  I liked Bernie's description of his studio made without parallel walls 
or ceiling.
