FWIW

1. I mix and master on our KRK monitors in a somewhat “live” room.
2. I then listen on our “living room” system - Polk Audio & Yamaha sub.
3. My last check is in my Subaru - Harmon Kardon and sub.

90% of the time I don’t return to the mix as I “think” that I can hear on the KRK’s what they will sound like on the big system.

The only time I use cans is when recording Janice’s vocals because I have no choice. And of course back when we were recording our guitar and bass tracks I used them but not for mixing. My brain refuses to translate the sound via phones into the live band sound I aim for when mixing. I’m not suggesting a right or wrong approach - just what hopefully works for me.


Finally and importantly I’m never reticent to ask mentors what they think about my mixes before sticking a fork in it.
