If they are a little too bottom heavy for tracking vocals, roll some off. Or even use a digital type eq with some memory functions that can store different eq settings for recall. Might this be an effective alternative to having multiple sets of headphones?
It's not an "eq" thing.
I have several different sets of cans to choose from and I'm searching for something "special" for vocals. I don't have anything I would describe as perfect for tracking voice and that's what I'm looking for. I am already looking in several directions and am looking for opinions/suggestions from folks that I know.
The "bottom heavy" comment that I made wasn't to suggest that my setup
is that way, it's that in my experience, bottom heavy headphones are the last thing I want when working on voice. What I'm looking for will not have a "bass heavy" quality to them. Many do.
The "hi end" comment I made is because my tracking headphones are mostly mid grade to low end. The most "expensive" set I have are ATs that I use primarily for checking mixes and such that are "open" and not suitable for vocals and open mics.
