We subtitle this unit "THE MORE ME BOX" because this is possibly its most important feature. Along with the typical cue mix or the control room mix, the engineer can offer each musician a fader dedicated to their own instrument. Experience teaches us that each musician always wants to hear more of themselves and that trying to meet this demand with several musicians and with too few aux sends is quite a mind bending challenge. As long as each musician's headphone is plugged into a separate station, each can have their own custom mix within arms reach. This frees up the engineer to concentrate on recording and getting the best sound and allows the producer to focus on performances because the musicians' monitoring needs are met quickly and easily. It also frees up console aux sends so that they may be used for effect sends. With this station you will be able to offer musicians a better sounding headphone amp than most major studios and be able to provide some significant improvements over basic stereo cue boxes or any other headphone system we know of.
I'm currently looking at getting the MANLEY HP-101 STUDIO HEADPHONE SYSTEM. But I wanted to come here for a second opinion; I'm looking for a mixing board that works well with board Ableton Suite and Pro Tools and has amazing EQ capabilities.
Ableton make software. Presumably you want a hardware, analogue mixer? Every analogue mixer "works" with every piece of software, they don't need to interface at all! What are you asking - about headphone systems? Wouldn't you want proper speakers? Or are you talking cue monitoring? How many io do you need?
...without seeing the keys - so I'm a little concerned about dynamic mics. My piano's keys are a little clicky (Roland HP-101 digital piano), am planning to upgrade to a Yamaha AvantGrand series this fall if bonuses come through. I'm recording on an iPad pro with an Apogee Duet 2 DAW if that's important. Thanks...
