There is actually a shortcut to getting that expensive sound. Using NS10s really is a shortcut. I have difficulty imagining there to be speakers that are an upgrade on their midrange translation

I would unalive myself if I had to work on NS10s every day 😂 They can definitely help a mix translate but goddamn are they annoying to actually produce and mix on. lolol The ATCs definitely still have a much better midrange and translate insane. They translate well because the midrange is so detailed, unlike the NS10s that translate well because they're SO mid heavy that you have to scoop the piss out of everything for it to sound halfway decent on them.

@@MakePopMusic well I kind-of disagree. I have "entry level" 3-way monitors and NS10s in my studio. Their translation is miles better than my mains, but I just can't imagine that 2-3x more expensive ATCs would beat the the NS10s for translation as they are already soooo much better than my mains. I obvious get why you'd want a quality full-range system instead, but I just wanted to hop in and let people know that this type of mix quality can be achieved for a fraction of the price. Also, my NS-10s aren't simply mid-heavy, but rather really accurate due to their paper cones. Because they only reproduce the midrange, I have to disagree with them simply being mid heavy, thus leading to good translation. Rather, they are really accurate in that range instead. They might not be flat in there, but their profile just so happened to have withstood the test of time.

I agree! I feel like I can enjoy the music and not even really hear a "mix". It just feels like a song to me which is my goal when mixing.

The clarity of the synths in the new mix is night and day. It really seemed ambient in the old mix.

i don't think the difference comes generally from the speakers, i think its 3 things 1. you've had more time to audition the mix 2. remixing it gives you a new perspective 3. The listening change of the speaker (the speaker is the least effect on the result)

You definitely cleaned up a lot of that congestion. Amazing what hearing the truth does for a mix :D

Super cool video, Austin! ❤🔥🙏

Listening on ATC SCM25's and the ATC mix has significantly more depth! Same on my very old PMC's TB2S. Great work!

So, I have Focal Shape 65s matched with a Genelec sub, but for years I worked with a big old pair of Genelec 1032As matched with the same sub. I could never afford your ATCs but that's not the point. When I first got my Focals, a perfect size for my room, I spent weeks playing my favourite reference tracks, hearing details I'd never heard before, and loving them - From there, I embarked on hearing and achieving the same details in my mixes, and if I can do that, it's job done.... whatever the speakers (and I have three other cheaper pairs to check, one set up in mono.... plus the most BEAUTIFUL pair of Hifiman Arya headphones that cost more than the Focals, gulp). How does your ATC mix sound when you play it back on your Focals?

I agrree, the new mix translates much better. Well defined, more depth and clarity... I would even go still further in this direction... 😉 Listening on Adam S3H... well done. 😊

Can you talk more about the wide bass layer you added? How does it differ from the mono sub track?

Sounds great. Aside from the obvious top and openness, there is just so much more good transient energy on the ATC mix. Also sounds inline with other mixers mixes done on ATCs. You can really tell in the chorus when it sonically still has somewhere to go, where the Focal mix stays pretty flat section to section.

how do you feel about active JBL 708p for a mid range monitor? also I am liking the looks of Cubase I am not too comfy in Logic

Cool vid. Congrats on the ATCs. I agree with the other post, that the ATC mix had a better groove. I still consider myself a noob as I only work on my projects and I do not have any high end equipment. I can say this.... With each project, I am getting better at mixing and mastering. The one thing that I found that helps is using a spectrum analyzer. It seems that u either rely on your equipment or your ears for the majority of your work. I found looking at the spectrum analzyer that it would show me visually where my track was not balanced. I am actually in the market for new monitors. I have to save up about 4 years, but I will get them soon enough. Right now, I am opting for the Neumann KH150s. I think they will be a great personality fit. I am chasing mid range. Much longer story. The 310 or 420s would just be too big for my space. I think the 150s will be a perfect upgrade from what I have although I might still keep what I have as reference monitors. In either case, cool vid and happy music making. 😁

Its amazing that I can even hear the difference on my lousy laptop speakers. It really shows the sound translates to other environments, the listener doesn't need expensive monitors to appreciate it.

I love this video! I have no doubt that you're getting a bit more clarity out of the ATCs but I am curious what you think the breakdown of the difference is the upgraded monitors versus sort of finalizing the mix, which you would have likely done anyways?

Midrange dominance is the natural production range of our world based on the physics we've built it around, so it will always be where most of the remedies will be needed. *When I see how much work more experienced studio gurus put into mastering, I'm encouraged but also somewhat happier I'm more focused on composing rather than this brutal labor lol.* It's a lot of work and I've avoided honing my skill in it.

ATC mix is very clean, the level of detail is great. I think the people who prefer the Focal mix are just missing the glue that resulted from the interaction of the low mids that have been cleaned up. The vocals seem somewhat detached from the instruments but this might be sorted once you figure out those high mids and maybe add some wetness. The mix doesn't feel quite as swimmy because there's less frequency content going to the verbs now that you cleaned stuff up.

I think the midrange of ATC is a bit sweeter but the low end on the 8341 and coaxial design makes for a best overall experience for the money. You will not need subs and can calibrate (the kit is 230 bucks or so). I don't recommend Sonarworks at all. I currently own all 3 of these speakers (actually atc scm45) and use the Genelec as mains in a similar sized room to yours. You may want to hear them first though.

@@siniswhatitis I can't see any photo, I don't really know how to actually communicate useful information on KZread since it's just a thread. But if you have an ST2, keep it! We actually compared glm vs st2 vs both and ended up just using st2 (multiple mix positions). I do think ATC sounds better in a way. Our room is pretty packed with furniture and gear and similar dimensions to yours but has to be sideways which is not ideal, so the more compact genelecs sitting on the meter bridge and coaxial design allowed us to scoot forward 18" vs the scm45a and get us out of the low end null, also phase coherence is very flexible with coaxial speakers, not as sensitive to moving your head around. With the SCM25 mkii (same tweeter as 45), it's a much more compact speaker than 45. 45 was the smallest that would get you the better tweeter and mid-range ATC at our time of purchase. Dutch 8C are awesome as well but I think too big. They go much louder than either of the others without clipping as well. They had not fully integrated rew correction when I was using this so I can't speak to the correction with that but at the time it was pretty rudimentary. In my opinion unless you want to get really good at measuring and trial and error, no calibration will come close to the Trinnov and the newer units don't do anything the st2 doesn't so I'd plan on using that for sure and you can consider yourself lucky you don't really have to think about the room correction aspect when purchasing speakers. Even so, genelec was the best design for our setup. So if you have a Trinnov and you are able to face the long way in your room and scoot forward as far as possible, the ATC might be great! If you want to hear extreme lows you WILL need subs (2 ideally), but the st2 can handle that and if you already have some you can just use those. It would be a tough call for me in your situation, you need to go listen to them. Where are you located?

Yeah, so I would guess that you’re going to have a lot less upper mid range and middle mid range precision on the focal mix. It might potentially sound thinner as well, depending on how well you adapt to speakers.

Was checking your Focal mix on my CHEAP Mackie MR5 MK2, instantly felt that mids of instrumental are muddy, so even in good room + CHEAP speakers you can recognise your muddy mids, hence you don't realy need 10k to hear that, but if you can, why not?))

ATC of course is going to be better, but Focals are still phenomenal.

Honestly the ATC mix was better but I'd go for something in between, the focal mix is more vibey especially in the verses thanks to the lo-mids filling it up quite well.
