In class I’ve been told that the sweet spot for mixing is between 80-90dB(SPL) based on the munson&Fletcher thing.
I know you say mix at lower levels which bring me to the question of whether it matters if you mix at such high level of dBs? Or not?? And also I don’t have a set of monitors, so I’m mixing with headphones too, which also it’s being said that it might be misleading by the time you add reverb or delay into your tracks. To hear through a pair of regular speakers would help to balance out the amount of reverb or delay that I’m putting into different tracks??

Reminds me again of an interview with Diego Stocco:
“All kinds of people that say ‘I would like to learn how to use microphones’, or ‘would you recommend me a piece of equipment’, or ‘how did you do something, like Music From Sand?’ or something else… when they ask ‘Oh, which plugin did you use?’…
“And I keep responding to them: ‘Do you have an idea in the first place?’”

Keeping these quotes for later (mis-)use
“You must have a sound in your head that you are trying to achieve…”
“If you have no clear vision of your desired sound that you are listening for when recording, then all of the tips and tricks (and gear) in the world won’t help you.”
