Export / Render sounds bassy

I'm having a concern about exports/ renders done in X1... x1b...

When I'm mixing down, I go through my Maudio OUT to KRK Rokit 6's (nearfield setup).   The sound is fairly crisp like I like it... BUT when I play what I have exported back through a car stereo or even through another computer (ie - cheap speakers) it sounds real bassy and I've lost some of the crispness of my highs. 

I have to keep tweeking the bass guitar down and it sounds extremely faint in the krk's but is boomy everywhere else...

Thanks

Hi Travismc1,
It sounds like you may be having classic problems with room acoustics and mix portability.  If that's a new topic for you I'd start here:

This isn't X1, this is your listening / monitoring environment.

You're using tiny monitors, which means that you're likely going to overcompensate for the bass. On top of that, looking at your picture, you're in a square room that doesn't have any tuning. Your mixes aren't going to travel well. This was my my plague for many years, until I learned about tuning. 

This is a massive topic and I wish you well in your learning endeavors. To assist, I have provided some information below.

A lot of people will tell you that you can build these yourself for cheaper and I'm sure you can. I'd rather use quality products already made, then create garbage that works only decently (I'm no handy man and I don't have a shop to build things).

These panels work fairly good and are relatively inexpensive. I have 2 of the 4" deep panels behind my monitors, mounted 2" off the wall for better low absorption.

These are amazing, but expensive. I Just loaded up my studio with some of there gear. 

The following points are the main issues in studios:

• First order reflections (from monitors to front wall, back to you. Side wall reflections jacking up your stereo image. Ceiling reflections)
• Rear reflections should be diffused.
• Bass traps are needed in all corners (or as much as possible )
• Rectangular rooms have bass node issues, based on the dimensions. See http://www.marktaw.com/re...StandingWaveCalcu.html for an easy calculation.

I highly recommend getting a SPL meter and mapping out the frequency problems at your listening position. It will be enlightening and empowering to know where your environment is no good. 

Here are a couple pics of my studio room. I still have a lot of work to do, mainly trapping my corners. But hopefully this helps. I've been working on tuning my room for over a year. It's a journey - specially if you're not crafty or high rollin ;)

This helps a lot... I appreciate it.

thank you

Also, listen to other (professionally done) music thru your mixing system, this will help tune your ears to your environment.
