Mixing Lessons and Comparisons

Post by doncolga » Sun Jul 07, 2013 5:10 pm

Hey all,

Would you all consider Spotify reasonable to compare mixes to...especially if our tunes are to end up online? It's really convenient and very easy to call up lots of different things for comparisons. I've not made it a regular habit to do this and I like it so far. I've got nothing on the main buss at all hopefully forcing myself to get the mix itself better. I'm careful to turn the volume to about half on Spotify so I can focus on matching tones instead of volume.

Maybe for quick and dirty comparison, but usually streaming audio sounds quite a bit different from the original uncompressed wav files.
