Wow that's a lot of work. The thing I try to remember is that the pro's generally mix on one set of speakers and might give one of the interns the job of cross checking it on something else.... but they trust the speakers they know.

I try to do the same thing with mine. I listen on my MP3 player to see if I need fixes to the song structure.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
