Hi, I read a book on DJing and its got a section on DJ monitoring. It says the standard way of monitoring is to have the rig set up, and put a monitor speaker by your left or right ear playing whats coming out of the stack and have the tune your about to mix in playing in the oposite ear. which i understand and can do.
It says sometimes when no moniror speakers is available its nessercary to cue both tunes in the ear phones as what you hear coming out of the stack is oftrn delayed / bad quality / muffled by people talking. It says people may find this way harder as they have to listen to two thing coming from the same place.
Personally i find it easier to have both tunes playing from the earphones, but will this method of cueing hinder my mixing, ive heard, even though it might make beat matching a little bit easier, it wont help me get all the EQs at the right levals as i wont be able to hear properly.
What does everyone think. Can i carry on mixing the way i do and still produce good mixes or do i need to train my ears to listen to two differnet things from two different places?
