You can consistently produce good mixes in untuned environments. It's just more difficult. And sometimes it's much more difficult. If you're unable to build a standing bass wave in your mix room then you'll boost bass frequencies in instrument tracks and the overall mix. When you listen to the mix on another playback system and in different rooms there's likely to be to much bottom end. Ultimately you're forced to become familiar with the accoustics of your room by listening to your product on other systems. You can equalize monitoring systems but our experience with that wasn't real good. >From a practicle perspective it's difficult to justify spending alot of money tuning rooms that you don't own. The key is to build accoustic modules that are hung on the walls and can be removed. Whether room accoustics or monitors are most important to you probably depends on what you do. If commercial work clients then you better have both. If it's your own music then there's only one person to please. ron > > http://www.ethanwiner.com/acoustics.html > > > http://arts.ucsc.edu/EMS/Music/tech_background/TE-14/teces_14.html > > Thanks.
