Understanding soundstage
Let's keep this simple, so any engineer with any level of experience can understand this. Soundstage is simply the stereo image that your headphones have. It's about how wide or narrow the stereo image is. If you listen to a track on two pairs of headphones to compare its sound stage...
You'll learn that mixing with watching knobs and meters is a dangerous thing!

Here, two audio professionals and friends of AMI, Wes Maebe and Nuno Fernandes weigh up the pros and cons of listening to sound professionally through cans on their heads or speaker boxes on their desks...
When you are designing (or mixing) audio you have to keep in mind the final consumer. Who's going to listen to this song? In what environement, what device, what file etc.
This is even more important when you are mixin g bass heavy track or genre. Humans can hear from approx 20Hz up to 20kHz. The majority of usefull spectrum is somewhere along 40Hz to 12kHz. This is what early days of MP3 was based on. Just eliminiate sound on the edges of our hearing.

Our new headphones for mixing music must be burned in to sound great.
First, you need to understand that when you use headphones for mixing audio you have to get a good pair and you have to get used to their sound. This is important if you wish to make constant quality mixes. The burn-in process is a technical thing you should do to fix the sound of your headphones.
