Many musicians creating at home mix their music down on headphones as doing so in poor acoustic rooms leads to bad quality mixes.

And headphone EQ profiles are fantastic tools for those whose rooms are not fit for music production.

Well, Waves Audio has given its lines of Nx headphone mixing plugins a huge update, reports Rekkerd.

The new update adds EQ correction curves for over 270 popular music production headphones by 54 headphone brands.

Now, every Waves Nx plugin – be it Abbey Road Studio 3, Nx Ocean Way Nashville, CLA Nx, or Nx Virtual Mix Room – offers EQ correction profiles for any pair of pro audio headphones that you can think of.

The method of EQ correction found in Waves Audio’s Nx plugins is the Harman Headphone Target Curve.

Today, this is thought to be the most definitive representation of how flat speakers sound in an acoustically balanced room – all over headphones.
