Listen to well done professional CD's on your system (at low volume) during breaks .. and let your ears adjust to that sound. Then get your mix to sound like that 'on that system'.



That's what the pros do and get huge amounts of money for it, right?

I'd like to get a little better treatment in my home mixing room, and I may remodel it this winter, but I've spent time learning the monitors and the room. Both matter. Not saying you need the absolute best of both, just that you need to learn the ones you have and get to where you can trust them.



And there again, 10 different people will tell you 10 different "the best way" stories. "You want a lot of sound deadening material." And the next reply says "Don't overdo it with the sound deadening material." "Put your monitors right by your head and at ear level." And then "Keep your monitors away from you some." "Roll off the high end some." followed by "You want a good amount of high end for crispness."

I have read many articles online and in Electronic Musician magazine. They constantly contradict each other. Much like my songs do when played on different devices. One has too much high, one had too much bottom....

Some place out there is a "the way to do it". I'll find it yet.
