What volume should your headphones be at when mixing?
That's why we recommend that you mix at a safe volume. The perfect monitoring level for most small home studios below 42 cubic meters is around 73-76dB SPL (C weighted). For larger spaces see our guide here. Exceeding this level for prolonged periods of time will damage your ears.
What is a good volume to mix at?
So long as your mixes give the mastering engineer room to work, and cover your noise floor, then you're in a good range. I recommend mixing at -23 dB LUFS, or having your peaks be between -18dB and -3dB.
At what volume should I listen to music with headphones?
How Loud and How Long Should You Wear Your Headphones? Experts recommend keeping sound levels at somewhere between 60 and 85 decibels to minimize the damage your ears are exposed to.
How do you calibrate headphones for mixing?
You can use a sound level meter (SLM) or a smartphone app to measure the SPL of your monitors and headphones, and adjust the volume accordingly. You can also use a plugin like ToneBoosters Morphit or CanOpener Studio to adjust the balance and crossfeed of your headphones.
