On a side note, I was watching some mixing tutorials by Ken Lewis, and he got to me to try a great mixing technique. The lesson was for vocals, but you can apply this to any area you need work on. I have lots of trouble with vocals, so I did a relatively quick mix using various different monitoring equipment, aka I did a quick mix on my ATX phones, quick mix on the monitors, did a mix on the ear buds, did a mix on a portable speaker. Then I took all the different mixes in the car (the place I can most hear flaws in my mixes) and listened to the pros and cons of each mix. Then what I did was take the best part of each mix and tried to use it in one mix. So I found that I get the best low end tone in vocals from mixing on my monitors and the best compression and high end from the earbuds. So then I just made sure to mix the low end on the monitors and the high end on the earbuds! Worked out great. You should give it a try sometime on whatever area of mixing youd like to improve.
