Mixing in the corner vs headphones

[Joey Stuckey]

Hey, I actually already posted this in a different category but looking back this looks like the better place... So I know mixing in the corner is a bad idea, but thats looking like my only option at the moment. So would it be better to just work on some acoustic treatment for the room and just mix with monitors in the corner, or use headphones? Or if theres a better option thats not terribly expensive.

You're dealing with the boundry effect, so you're double boosting some frequency on one side while you have a speaker in the corner. Other than heavy treatment for the corner, the best you can do is mix in the headphones, check in the monitors, and then check on other systems like your car. Low end mixing will be tough.
