Headphones allow me to more easily identify and fix the 2 main problems I encounter with BIAB real tracks: 1. Clashing clanging overly bright cymbals. 2. Muddy Bass Both of these can cause major headaches in some rooms where I gig. Before the bounce to mp3 I usually run it through a few speaker sets and one or 2 of my gigging rigs. As they say, Trust but verify. biab2025(Mac) Latest Build Mac OS (Latest) Apple Mac Mini M2 pro 32GB Ram Logic Pro (latest or pretty close) Heddon Super Spook XT (Mullet)
