Hi,
I just finished writing this and submitting it when something went wrong and it didn't take. DOH!
Anyway, I keep having the same issue with my mixes... I get it souding great in the studio, on both pairs of my studio headphones, my car, etc, but on some smaller systems, it sounds terrible. Like the speakers are covered by a thick blanket and the vocals disappear beneath the rest of the musical mud. When I listen to pro recordings on the same system, they translate as they should, and although it may not sound great, due to the system, it sounds right. The detail is there on my mixes on most systems, but these small, suboptimal systems.
Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? Or should I just be incorporating a system like this into my mixing process and finding the happy balance between both?
Thanks!
