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.

That sounds like a hell of a good idea

Unfortunately, everything sub 150 hZ is a tricky battleground for me... I've got a little absorption effective in that range but there never really could be enough... I have to sleep in here Oddly enough, my car stereo is absolutely awful for listening for enjoyment, but it will punish any sort of sub bass excess with extreme prejudice.

Thanks for the tips!
