Look him up if you want his list of credentials.

I finally got around to watching the video, and it was pretty fascinating. Nice to see a different perspective, from someone with a lot of experience and success mixing on headphones. I understand the general wisdom of mixing on monitors. But for me, it's just physically not an option at the moment.

For those of us in this situation, does anyone have any tips on how to make this work the best it can? The other night, I was mixing on my best pair of open-backed headphones, and it sounded good. I switched over to Airpods, and it sounded perhaps a little different, but overall still good. Then I listened in the car, and it was way off. And not just in the expected ways, such as more low end. The vocals were suddenly too prominent and the EQ on the guitar solo sounded totally different. I find the wild differences in different environments very frustration. Any tips for how to get a good, consistent mix that works everywhere, without monitors?

Even the losers get lucky sometimes
