Thanks for the comments. I appreciate them.
I am at a stage where I really want to improve my mixes and how they come out in the real world. I have been moving my room around, trying different monitor placement, treatment placement, listening with my ears and my mind, doing the math of "music." I'm hell bent to figure this out. It might not be a realistic goal, but I want to make mixes that don't need LANDR, or mastering.
Kevin, the fact that the instruments sound a bit buried tells me a lot about my tweaks thus far. I will take that into consideration next time I work on a mix. The way I see it, most folks on the song forum have good listening environments, so if something is amiss it will show up, where in my room it might be masked by "the room." So it is good to hear how it sounds because it gives me a certain direction on my next mix.
Acoustics and their impact are so weird, but very interesting.
Steve, I'm not sure what you mean by an unlimited mix, but I think it is a positive that it cuts through. Sometimes peoples posts can be so cryptic, or at least seem that way, so I make a point to take everything at face value.
I'm glad you like the falsetto Mesh
I'll make a point to keep it up!
Thanks fellas, you have helped much.
