re monitors/phones.

well... being from london uk where several great studios lived and put out gold hits over the years i think people can sometimes over think this. its my understanding from other musos that in days of yore the gear used to create gold records was sometimes not the most optimum. everything from mic noise floors to tape noise,
wow and flutter,...and many other issues....includeing monitors.
gotta love those horn loaded speakers...lol.
(just google for info eg 'recording studio london gear used in the 60's').

as the following thread suggests lots of gear was cobbled together.

notice in the above some comments by some heavy hitters giving a usa
perspective.

i personally have gone round this issue a zillion times without finding a good solution whereby mixes done translate well to any listening environment...but maybe i'm just a dummie...lol.
so i resign myself to the fact i just can only do the best i can...
and if i fail...so be it.

happiness.
