Nahh...if you're serious about mixing you need a few others just to ensure your mixes work in different environments. It's good to have some open-air cans, some isolated ones like the 7605's, even from a few different manufacturers. Just like listening on your studio monitors is different than the car. Still, the mix has to work in both. That said the 7605's have been the ones that I've listened to at least 90% of the time over nearly the last decade but when I mix with them I find people complain my mix doesn't have enough bottom end. - Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
