The pro who does my final mastering, said to me a couple of years ago, ( I had asked him about 'upgradng my monitors)........"Joe, without being cheeky! Think about 'upgrading your ears!" Which I understood to mean..... learning how to "properly use" the equipment I have, & compensate where necessary. Like Eddie........for me a steep learning curve! I was so pleased when I took my latest CD to him, he told me, "Not much to do this time Joe, your best yet!" Joe G.
