frequency response charts are common, has anyone got a chosen we balanced song that has been frequency measured on and average ,then measuring the track through headphones for how the headphones are replaying the track and averaged it , then compared?
Similar to the way ozone advise to analyse a tracks average then use a dynamic mic from your listening position to see how matches the tracks actual spectrum analysis.
"If you have a mic that’s flat down to 20 Hz, here’s a quick and dirty way to do it.
1) Take a song with a good range of frequencies in it. We just randomly chose Vasoline (Stone Temple Pilots)5 . As long as there’s a broad spectrum, it doesn’t matter (we did say this was the quick and dirty method)
2) Put Ozone’s spectrum in average mode and loop a section of the song. Open the EQ module and save it as a snapshot (open the Snapshots tab, click “Start Capture” and you’ll see a frozen line a different color than the active spectrum)
3) Place the mic in the spot where you would be listening from, and play the loop through the monitor/subwoofer combination. We used Cakewalk SONAR with effects on input enabled, so that we could see the result in real time. 4) Adjust the subwoofer level until the sound picked up by the microphone (the light green line) is close to the spectrum of the source (the blue snapshot)."
Has anyone ever done this? Wouldn't this give people a more accurate indication of how "True" a headphone is? and a better method of bench marking headphones?
