I notice when I am close to the speakers it sounds better, Better than what? but when i am further away it is not as good. Is it an equalizing issue? or compression? How could I edit these in audition? Here is a link to the track - MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
That is normal, especially comparing headphones to open speakers. But you should mix on open speakers. If it sounds good there it will sound good on headphones, maybe different but still good.
How does it sound in the car?
But this all very broad terminology; define good and better. What parts?
