Hey I was wondering if this is normal. I'm fine tuning vocal levels in a few of my mixes right now and I've noticed something that previously I hadn't been aware of: the vocals always sound noticeably quieter in my headphones than coming from my monitors. I've noticed this on different mixes in the last couple days, totally consistent. So what ends up happening is if I mix vocals to optimal levels wearing headphones, they sound too loud coming out of the monitors and the inverse, if I mix to the monitors they are not loud enough for the headphone mix...
Is this normal or is something in my system maybe tweaked? And if it is normal, what is the "standard" approach to this when mixing, if there is one or something close to it?
Thanks from audio twilight zone over here!
