I would point out, though, that it's really important to know the frequency range limitations of your monitors. If your monitors have a range of 50Hz - 15kHz, for example, you could have some very unfortunate things going on at 40Hz and not have any hint of it until you heard the mix on a full range system. No matter how familiar you are with your monitors, if you've got stuff going on that they can't reproduce, you'll never know. -- --- http://lateralforce.no-ip.org My blog, with commentary on a variety of things, including audio, mixing, equipment, etc, is at: http://audioandmore.wordpress.com Staat heißt das kälteste aller kalten Ungeheuer.
