This is basically where I have landed, at least at the moment. Since I have neither the funds nor the physical space to get the perfect solutions, I've decided to do the best I can with the imperfect situation, and remember that this is a hobby that's supposed to make me happy, not miserable and frustrated. I just posted my latest song, which was of course mixed with headphones only (User Showcase thread) . I'm sure all the mixing problems are clear (and perhaps horrifying) to the real audiophiles around here. But I remember what it sounded like at the beginning of the process, so I'm thrilled with the final result.

Even the losers get lucky sometimes
