Mix Cube

You're not wrong, although people who use the mono trick with a single Auratone or Avantone are well aware of this and they compensate for it. But it's kind of the opposite of your point. Someone who uses a frequency limited speaker like this is doing it precisely so they don't overly rely on sounds

Well, it's funny but I don't have any acoustic treatment here. Some people think that's crazy, but this also has to serve as a livable home. I have Kali Audio LP-6 monitors and I use Sennheiser HD600 for headphones.... but the secret weapon is the Avantone Mixcube (it reveals all the places in the m

would it worth to get 8k speakers? Not without fixing the acoustics of the room. If you get these and your room is a concrete cube you've wasted your money. If it sounds so good on that speaker, who’s gonna able to listen to it? A good monitor is a flat mirrror. If you look at yourself in the mirror

Don't worry about mastering. You can either pay someone to do it or use one of the automatic plugins that more or less do a good enough job for indie releases. As far as mixing, nobody can teach you online how to mix. You have to get there by trial and error and figuring things out. I will tell you

This is why professional studios have monitors like NS-10s or Avantone Mixcubes. They mimic how songs would sound on su

😀 Probably. It’s why Avantone reinvented Auratone.

You know about VSX already. Realphones 2 is another option, which lets you use the headphones of your choice. Just because your room isn't perfect doesn't mean monitors aren't helpful! Also, not all "untreated rooms" are the same: Consider the difference between: Room 1 = a beautiful but empty space

Those are better than Avantones and possibly better than the Auratone reissues I have. I've had Avantones and they were bad except for PA purposes, and have Auratone reissues which work better mix-wise. Those will reveal the sound of your amp because there's so little to them. Single-driver speakers

No auratone, but am using avantones--they are extremely helpful to clear up the midrange, as too much congestion sounds awful on them in a way that might only sound mediocre on full-range, ported speakers. My understanding is the Avantones are a bit more hyped than the Auratones, but this works real

First off, use mix references to calibrate your ears. That will calibrate your ears (brain) to the range of normal with regard to tonal balance on whatever environment or listening device you use. Your mix should sound like your good reference mixes. So if yours is consistently way brighter, or way
