All very good information.
I understand that everything will have a different quality of sound, car, studio monitors, cans, home stereo, and that having a good set of monitors, and a good set of cans is a good place to start. I have space limitations for monitors, or placement limitations is perhaps a better description. I'd need to set them up in a different room, which would be great for testing, just like taking a drive/cd player, but probably not a reasonable set up for mixing.
I've gone thru a couple sets of monitors, and certainly heard a difference, and I like the monitors I have. I should use them more, maybe 50/50; mix with cans, switch to monitors, freak, adjust mix, continue.
I'm trying to get an album done now and have a deadline looming. Need it done/cds in-hand May 1.
Pray for me.
And thanks again for all the tips. Good stuff.
