I bought myself a pair of surround sound headphones so I can do mixes in silences without disturbing sleeping children. They are Zalman ZM-RS6F headphones and while they are supremely shit for music mixing, they are quite effective for watching movies in surround sound. The problem with these headphones is the separation is pretty poor for music and there appears to be no subwoofer/LFE speaker channel, so everything feels a little hollow.
But despite the limitations, I did a reference mix of “START” in surround sound and it wasn’t too bad. Obviously, some of the levels are way out but it is a useful and quick way of at least positioning audio for mixes. I can then connect the laptop to my proper surround sound speakers when I have ten minutes and fix the mixes properly.
Mind you, the surround sound version of START is woeful. You can almost hear the gaps in the music, such was my poor playing and scant ideas back in those days. It’s not really suited for surround, but I did it anyway.
So there…who cares really? Anyone? No…people only come here to read about “In the Night Garden”, my gay hands or to find out what the Korg Wavedrum/Digitech Timebender/Epiphone Les Paul with MIDI pickup is all about.
Moan, whinge, spit…
