I had a real blast loading a bunch of the tracks I did this past year into my DAW and then auditioning them A/B style in Abbey Road and Ocean Way.
#IZOTOPE VOCALSYNTH 2 REVIEW GEARSLUTZ BLUETOOTH#
You can also buy a little bluetooth sensor for $100 that's supposed to work better- and you can use both together for best results- though I think the camera works well enough for my needs. The tracking is slightly glitchy using the camera.

The GUI looks great on both- blow it up to 200% and you feel like you're sitting in the actual studio- and you can rotate the studio around, so you can face the back wall and see what the mix sounds like with your back to the speakers and the music blasting off the back wall- kind of like hearing your music in a club. You can switch between nearfields and mains and that's a cool feature.

It's remarkable how much it changes when you switch the bypass on and off. You get that space and air that you can't get from headphones and that center imaging. The Ocean Way is newer and I thought I liked the sound of it a little better,- the Abbey Road sounds slightly darker- but after spending hours with both, I like them both equally. Several times I got this sensation of "Oh shit, this must be blasting through my monitors, my neighbors are gonna kill me!" only to lift my headphones off to hear nothing. It really does feel like I'm sitting in front of speakers. You use your computer's camera to track your head movements while wearing headphones and it creates the impression of sitting at the mixing desk of either of these studios listening on speakers- with the sound changing as you move your head, like it would in the real world. They looked interesting, though maybe somewhat gimmicky. I was thinking of getting Sonarworks or ARC to fix my listening environment- but last night I was looking at a Waves plugin sale and saw the Abbey Road Studio 3 and Ocean Way Nashville headphone mixing plugins and said "why not?". I don't like using headphones much and hopefully some day I'll have a place with a treated room and all that. I'm using a combo of monitors and headphones, with most of my decisions coming from the headphones. Only bought my first monitors last year and my studio space at my current apartment moves between two rooms depending on my mood- so trying to do any kind of room treatment would be useless.
