34 headphones rewiewed in comparison – plus reasons to mix with them
Not everyone has enough space in the studio for large speakers and correct placement. Besides, even the best monitoring system is useless if the acoustics aren‘t right. So why not mix with headphones? We‘ll show you which models are best for you and your sound, what to look for when buying them, and give you all the advantages for headphone mixdowns to give your tracks the final touch. Also included: a market overview with technical data and applications for all important and current headphones.
For Free: Reason 12 + Rack – Full modular DAW with SSL console

And if you don‘t want to switch your sequencer, you can use Reason as a VST3 plug-in with over 15 synths, 29 rack effects, arpeggiator, sequencer, LFOs and many other tools, all of which can be combined in any way you like.

Mills has not just written a sountrack to a classic here. He has created a new experience of the movie itself.
Test: Erica Synths SYNTRX II – Gritty, analog & with presets
SYNTRX II from Erica Synths is the improved version of its predecessor in many aspects and at the same time a descendant of the famous EMS Synthi AKS from the 1970s. While it‘s close in sound and function to the original, the SYNTRX II is still capable of much more. Not cheap, but definitely worth the price. Check out out why...
