Most important aspect of *any* monitors is to get to know them well. Spend a lot of time listening to them at those same levels, using professionally mixed and mastered "reference recordings" of the same basic genre and style in which you intend to mix. Get to know them well and you'll get to know when they don't sound right on your own mixes. When it sounds "right" -- meaning pretty much like your reference recordings do, your mixes will translate well to other systems.





I have used this advice to excellent advantage. Thankyou, Mac.

No matter what you monitor on, use those reference recordings.
Very accurate mixing and mastering can be accomplished on the most whacked-out array of speakers or headphones if the listener makes liberal use of this tool. Duplicate the tonal qualities of the reference recording that most closely matches the sound you're aiming for. Done deal...

just looking for clues...
