In this week’s episode we experiment with a new VST plugin from Beyerdynamic: Headphone Lab! Headphone Lab is a great way to optimize your headphone response for mixing work, especially if you don’t have access to an acoustically treated room with monitors. Adding it into your workflow can help your mixes translate better to other playback systems. Let’s take a closer look and listen!

You can read more about and download the Headphone Lab plugin here.
