Ok... been mixing around with my headphones and doing some comparisons.
First thing I noticed is you cant mix in the same room as you recorded your ac guitar. Esp. my little box.
So Ive been listening to commercial CDs and comparing their bottom/mid/high end and translating from what I hear in the phones to the way I mix. Then I keep going back and forth to the monitors to make sure its not too far off mark. Ive been finding that this works pretty good.
Also, im isolationg different groups of freqencies to make sure i dont have too big a mess in different ranges... seems to help also because im dealing with 40 something tracks as in my music example.
This headphone mixing does seems to be harder to do because it seems you have a false image of the sound, but using them with the monitors is effective for me anyways.
I dont have any acoustic treatment, so that cant help with the monitors.
So a little input from anybody would be good to hear if the mix sounds good in all freqencies ...
