Digital Only Logic Proz Late Mayonnaise

... I still say I can judge a mix on earbuds because 90% (if not more) of what makes a mix good happens in the range that headphones can reproduce. If I'm missing the good bits of a mix because they happen at 30hz then I'm not sure it's a good mix ...

Your earphones would be capable of hearing frequencies that need to be heard, but I would seriously question the accuracy and distortion of those frequencies.

The other and the more important point I would make is - your earphones will not be representing the dynamics of a mix properly. Because they are so close to your ears, the dynamics of the music won't translate well if you're then listening to the song on speakers. Same goes with any earphones. Speakers are critical to judging dynamics. Also, you won't have a good idea of what your centre image is sounding like. These are issues I've noticed in mixes of yours, but I think because of your experience you do compensate somewhat for these issues. 

I found that when I mixed on headphones, the mixes always sounded as if it had too many effects and was unclear. The reason for this is earphones also give you a poor representation of clarity because you're not having to compete with room noise and the sound is so isolated to just your ears. You also will have problems with identifying resonance.

My point is, the issues of earphone/headphone mixes have very little to do with the frequencies they cover. The issues are broadly dynamic, transient, transparency, clarity, bass management, etc. 

P.S. I'm glad the vocals sound better now.

That's possible and a fair point. That's why I post, for feedback of my mixes. Positive or negative. If you hear something wrong in one my mixes (and there's a lot of wrong things!) feel free to point them out and post something constructive. I tend to overdo things. I'd appreciate the feedback and the chance to learn and adapt.

My main point is that a mix isn't good if it only needs to be heard on full range speakers. If I had 'em I'd use 'em. And none of the issues of this mix I posted originally had anything to do with dynamics or the center image. Maybe "resonance" if you count the vocal sound. My critiques tend to be fairly broad and obtuse. I try not to get into the nuts and bolts too much mostly because I go in with the ear of a casual listener. Monitoring aside. It's more emotional than technical. Maybe that's a disservice but I feel like that's all that matters in the end. And I'm not the only person one here. Maybe someone will come along and say they love the vocals or whatever. Then I reassess and try to figure what I'm hearing wrong or not getting.
