Re: Muddy mix
The linked video sounds fine to me. So it seems its only headphones that sound muddy? That could be a few things;
1-crappy headphones(you didn't mention brand or model) 2-crappy headphone amp(never used the Mackie, but am very happy with the ART HeadAmp 6 Pro) 3-high-impedance(600 ohm) headphones driven by an amp designed for low impedance(8-32 ohm) phones 4-clipped signal feeding the headphone amp How are you feeding the headphone amp? Does it get the main mix or are you using sends? I would use sends and this would allow you to insert a master track for the send, and insert an EQ plugin to try an compensate(this is grasping at straws because I think something else is to blame)

Re: Muddy mix
Hi thank you so much for replying ..I use to send a stereo signal from the aux sends on the control 24 to the headphone amp ..i could send diff mixes to headphone amp via aux sends to headphones but since i purchased a ssl sigma i take my sends from the aux output on the ssl to the headphone amp its a main out i have yamaha replica ns10s headphones either way it’s a rubbish sound in the headphones :) I do not use headphones to mix ..i use the hs50 s
