Well, actually it kind of sucks also at higher volumes
Ok, I'm by no means a pro, but I try to at least record my stuff in a way that wouldn't sound totally amateurish. At a decent volume it sounds fairly ok, but when I listen to it at lower volumes suddenly the contrast with professional products becomes evident: while the latter remains (often) very clear, intelligible and "alive", mine sounds dull and muffled...
So, how do you deal with this? Should I perhaps adopt more cutting eq for instruments? Should I start mixing at lower volume, so to drive the mixing towards being understandable also at low levels? Also, how do you deal with Fletcher-Munson? (that is, your bass and highs will always be either too low or too prominent, depending on the volume)
Thanks for the help guys!
