Hey guys,
So I'm sittin here in my room mixing away, and i decide to go and have a little break to... ya know, expand the mind a bit. I came back and really started noticing differences in my mix, but as a function of the volume. Unfortunately my space is tight, and my monitors are only about 3 ft. from my head, which i can't do much about. So I popped the ol SPL meter out and at 71-73dBc my mix sounds better (more "together" and solid) than at around 85dBc when the low end starts to mud up a bit and things start to come apart.. I'm wondering how much of this is my actual mix, or my sitting position?
or maybe i just... shouldn't have indulged during mixing?
What volumes do you guys feel the most comfortable mixing at? Any general volume things you follow by?
