Isn’t it ok to measure what are the dips and peaks in the listening position and correct them for mixing / mastering? Of course, the correction should be excluded from the final version. Or do you think it will make more harm than help? Besides the practicalities (I too mix at two different places, at least used to :) ) there s imho also an element of getting better . That s half of the fun of doing anything - professionally or otherwise.

Every time I switch over to the Mixcube, there s a ton of static and noise for seconds and seconds while the switch establishes reliable contact. Okay - deal with the wonky switch or just abandon Mixcube? How valuable is a single monitor speaker for checking mixes with nothing but voice and acoustic accompaniment? Moderately, I d have thought. I know the frequency ranges involved. What I m wondering about is levels. For just voice and acoustic accompaniment, a mono playback would primarily reveal relative levels, yes?
21 Ways To Improve Your Studio In 2021 New Year, New Studio! Acoustic treatment is often the single most effective way to spend money on improving your studio. With the world still busy fighting the coronavirus, professionals and hobbyists alike have been spending more time in our home studios. As well as making more music, we’ve had plenty of time to reflect on what’s working well for us, and what’s not. So the SOS editorial team shared notes to come up with 21 ways you can greet 2021 with a better studio. Acoustic treatment is an investment that will benefit both your mixes and your raw tracks. Several manufacturers offer full room kits that are a great way to get in the right ballpark if you have the cash, including GIK, Auralex, LA Sound Panels, Acoustics First, Iso Acoustics and Vicoustic. But as a minimum, basic ‘mirror point’ absorbers are a must, and if you have space, proper bass trapping not just foam in the corners will tighten things up.
