As a mix engineer, it’s crucial that you can make appropriate judgment calls when presented with output from your monitors. In an ideal world, the interaction would be directly between the source material and the engineer’s ears, but unfortunately this is never the case. There is always a monitoring system and physical environment in the way (at least until we work out a way to mix in an infinite room!).
One of the greatest problems younger engineers, with poor monitoring systems and environments face, is the question of whether an audible problem with a mix is actually a problem with the mix, or whether it’s a problem with the monitoring system or environment itself. Half the battle is not only fighting the mix, but also the environment that creates a veil between us and that mix.
Here are a couple of methods to circumvent this problem:
1. Invest in a good monitoring system! This is crucial, and constitutes the most basic need to form your work environment. Without the ability to hear accurate detail, you cannot mix with accuracy.
2. Invest in acoustic treatment! At a certain price point, acoustic treatment becomes much more important than the monitoring system in a room. Assuming we’re starting with a modestly decent playback system, we will have much more to gain by treating room flutter, modal and other coloration problems than simply spending more on monitors.
3. Reference as much as possible, and then some! The best way to learn the idiosyncrasies of your unique work environment is to listen to top-class mixes in it. Once you have a feel for how records ‘should’ sound in there, you will get a better feel for how to take your own mixes there naturally.
4. Listen to your work on other systems.
5. Balance low-end on headphones. Since no room is perfect, this can help an absolute ton under most circumstances – provided the headphones are of quality.
6. Invest in professional mastering. Mastering can help, within reason, to work through and attenuate mix flaws relating to poor working environments. Beyond this, you can cultivate feedback from the mastering engineer and take into account what to concentrate on improving next time.
