chulaivet1966,
Yep, I try to do it sometimes sitting 20 inches from monitors, which I believe are also 3" and listen mix on low volume.
I used to listen to mixes on AKG 240s, the vintage ones until few years ago drivers gave up completely. Went through couple of other brands, but was disappointed. Finally found a good set of open back AKG, that sound neutral and feel good on ears.

My goal is not to record full fledged songs, I like..hmmm how to put it right, more improvisation style things. Just to get idea out of the head. I rarely spend more than couple of days on song. Just want those mixes to sound acceptable to ear so I can come back to them at some point in my life when I have more time.

P.S. I liked your Time Travellin tune. Very positive!

Thanks,
Mike.
