I hardly ever have to click “calibrate” anymore.Īre you using head tracking with NX? It’s not just a gimmick! It goes a LONG way to reducing ear fatigue because it’s varies up what goes to your ear.
I’m a big fan of the NX series, but what’s blowing my mind about CLA NX is they seem to have fixed the “drift” issue. I will go back to the original NX, do some mixes and post my view on the comparisons. Now there is a new ‘CLA’ room iteration to consider - at the moment I am not going to get another version of NX but I did wonder, and hence this post, if any others might have some views on the subject. I have a feeling the original NX does a better job of the basic objective - achieving, on headphones, mixes that are ‘out of the box’ acceptable on speakers with minimal tweaking needed… even (am I really saying this!?) no tweaking at all. Good results also, but I am wondering now if the Nashville iteration is a touch ‘flattering’ and will go back to the original generic NX to make some comparison mixes. Since then I also got the ‘Nashville’ studio room version and have been giving that some solid use for a couple of months.
I got very good results, a massive improvement on any previous headphone mixes (and I’m sure we all know just how bad those can be!) I was an early adopter of the first ‘generic’ NX plugin and use it with my Sennheiser HD600s, for which NX has a specific EQ curve.
