In order to mix you have to hear the blend
of instruments through speakers. In a Recording Website
Tip series I started this week (Hearing
The Mix), I cover how to set up monitor speakers for
effective listening. But what you hear is not just the
output of the speaker system but a bend of the speaker sound
and the room sound. A poor-sounding room can make
speakers sound bad all too often. The project studio in
particular often winds up being installed in a room that
doesn't sound all that great. This tip series covers how
this effects your ability to hear the music and, therefore,
your ability to mix music. How do you determine if the
poor room-sound is affecting listening too much? And if
it has a negative effect, what do you do?
