Headphones really did sound better in 2009
2009 has been a pretty good year for 112dB, and the plugin that put us on the map--errr... that would be Redline Monitor--is still one of my favorite tools, both from a user and a developer point of view. When we released it I was quite anxious about how it would be received, to be frank. After spending months and months listening and tweaking (and listening some more and tweaking some more, followed by listening some more... you get the picture) I always feel my take on reality may at this point be slightly skewed. Or worse. So it's great to see that I'm not crazy after all and it really does work well. Of course there's the usual nay-sayers but so far they've been far and few between.
One thing that took me by surprise is the response from audiences that I didn't even think about targeting: people who just want to listen to music, as opposed to mixing or mastering or other (ahem) "serious" applications. So now I'm thinking whether it might be a good idea to make a simpler version--Redline Monitor, Jr. (so to speak)--with fewer controls, a lower price tag, and possibly compatible with Media Player and Foobar (and of course the ubiquitous iTunes, should Apple in their infinite wisdom ever decide to open it to 3rd party developers).
Decisions, decisions.
