Hi Guys.
I was wondering if there was a general tip that anyone would care to share with regards to mixing a song(s) to be played played on various platforms. I've been messing around with my latest song over the weekend:
The Sun Will Shine Tommorow by Random-Tangent | Random Tangent | Free Listening on SoundCloud
It's mixed on my studio speakers - Granted they're not super expensive but that's all I could afford at the time - it sounded pretty much ok IMO. I then upload to SoundCloud so that I can listen on my various media. I play it through my SONOS Play:1's and it sounds ok (vox could be slightly more out front), I play again through my SONOS Play:3 and it's completely drowned in bass. Via headphones (yeah cheapish ones) it sounds super tinney and goes super loud at the end where I do a frequency sweep, the car stereo sounds really muddy, and my iPhone just sounds as expected.
What I've done is play the song through all media - and make tiny tweaks here-and-there to try and find the median values so that's it's listenable on most. Is that the generally correct, or should I choose a media and try and mix towards the sound on that?
Many thanks
