Thanks Mange...i started working on another mix in here and i will try to scale it back on my highs and distortion as i get towards the end of the mix. I never thought about it that way with the monitoring. I believe this is why i've been finding alot of songs boring lately...to everyone else probably sounds fine but because i'm not hearing my higher frequencies the same it always feels like there's something missing to me. The bass i can feel it by putting my feet up against the wall and that's how i try to get that right and referencing it against another song...surprisingly it works even if i have headphones on (really strange). Right now i'm just glad it's a 5-10% loss and not like 4 years ago when it was at 90-95% loss. I blew my ears out and went 4 months with only 5% left until that day when they finally started to pop back slowly. After that third month i was starting to accept the fact that i was going to be that way permanently. So i have been more kind to my ears now...i don't listen as loud anymore. I would prefer to not go back there again.
