The reasons may be numerous, tackling the root cause of the problem is the only way to get better mixes. I get your inquisitive indignation about the same thing but the point here is, there is no simple or an easy answer to this question, it gets really complex as to why, even today, engineers are still using two monitors set up and they do a really great job at getting the industry standard output from it.Ī lot of engineers I have seen, don’t use dual monitor setup, quite often fail to deliver that industry-standard mix.
I get this from a lot of people throughout the journey of teaching students and also taking seminars, people have all sorts of wild theories about why mixing/mastering engineers use dual monitor setup studio when they have one single monitor to do the same work for them?
