You know for years I couldn’t figure out why my mixes where so muddy and bass heavy then I found out my monitors were facing the wrong way
 
Me Too!

I have run into a slightly different experiance .

Over the years I always mixed with headphones.
It was always very muffled and quiet no matter how loud I turned things up. My mixes were way overbright when listened to over other speakers. Finally I read on this very board how bad it was to mix with headphones. So I took them off.

SURE ENOUGH! my speakers sounded much clearer than when listening to them with headphones on! I could not BELIEVE the difference.Now I need to figure out what that curley cord on my headphones is for.

Now my mixes are perfect! Dont need to improve at all!

I've had that very experience before.

There was also the time when my mixes were too quiet, and I reasoned it was because my amp wasn't plugged in.

There was this time once when, at last, my stuff sounded really good. Then I realised it was because my amp wasn't plugged in:)
 
That very thing happened to me when I realized I was actually playing a reference CD. :D
 
My vocal tracks improved immensely when I started singing into my headphones!

Mine improved when I stopped singing.
 
My technique

I find the sound of my mixes improves considerably after consuming 8 pints of beer.

Unfortunately, there is a fault with my system and the next day the mix seems to regress back to its original state.

Has anyone else experienced the same fault?

I've experienced this when dating. I would chew off my own arm rather than wake up the pig.
 
I beleive they call that Coyote Ugly.

1 bag Ugly - You put a bag over your dates head so you don't have to be reminded

2 bag ugly - You put a bag over your head in case your date's bag comes off.

Coyote Ugly - You chew your arm off rather than wake them in the morning.

There is a double coyote ugly but I can't remember that one. (Note I kept this generic so women can use it too)

I've never gone to bed with an ugly woman... but I woke up with a few....


Personally I prefer to do it "Rodeo Style"


That's where you saddle up from behind grab her by the hair and shout "You're the ugliest pig I ever poked!" ...

... now the trick is to stay on for 8 seconds!

I noticed a great improvement in how my mixes translated when I took my head out of my ass.

Actually, Rodeo Sex is when you get behind your girlfriend, shove it up her ass just as you whisper in her ear "this is just how your mom likes it". The 8 second part is correct.
 
Finally, I will share some secrets about mixing:



FOLD the egg whites in. It makes for a fluffier cake.

No wonder I only lasted 3 seconds....

Jeez, how'd you guys make it last 8 seconds?

Who said we made it to 8 seconds... we said the trick is to TRY and make it 8 seconds....

... hey if her nipples are pierced, you could always hook a bungie chord around your arse and hook each of her nipple rings with the ends... she bucks you bounce back... I think that'd be cheating though... fun... but still cheating....

Nah man.. what you do is have all of yours friends in the closet dressed up as rodeo clowns.. start going at it doggy and have them sound the horn, start the timer, and bust out. See how long you last.

The first time I heard this, it was much funnier than it is written down.
