fiddle
i'm no great pro AE mixing bloke..
more a songwriter/singer/lyrics bloke..
but i'll pass on a likkle idea a pro AE once gave me.
viz..
"notice how even on junky tv speakers a good song still sounds good , and the
mix "etc.
so mebe yes..get a decent pr of monitors, but dont let it consume you.
get a speaker switch that lets you switch tween a nice pr of monitors n a crummy tv speaker.
cos sometimes mixes that wre mixed on expensive monitors can fall apart
on crummy stuff like tv speakers n boomboxes etc etc.
a boombox or stereo clock radio is also a good added check.
such often have a line input you can feed from stereo line out of sound device.
