Mixing Headphones (Help ?)

Thanks Alexis,

Thats very helpful mate.

For the rest of it, sounds like you are on the right path, a little “listening exercise” every day! Others can give you far better advice than I, but maybe one exercise to try (if your version of Cubase supports it) is to listen to a commercial track with the pan controls full wide, then shrink the panning field so the blue area becomes smaller and smaller, until ultimately it becomes mono. At each stage of narrowing of the stereo field, it should sound different.

Do you mean i import a regular mp3 recording from a cd, Pan the left and right hard, and then gradually bring the left and right to center ?? If i import a cd then will it not just be placed in one single channel ?? To perform what you are suggesting would i not need the song to be in two channels (one for the left audio and the other for the right) ??

Thanks,

Paul
