yeah man this did help, i remembered i "mixed" this on earbuds and not on monitors and thats where i went wrong.
i've got a vocalist recording on this soon so after that i give it a proper mix.
Aah ye, earbuds are pretty **** to mix on..
But, i know Graham from the Recording Revolution has mixed an entrire album on it.. So it can be done though..
But having a flat monitoring response still is the best method. All ****ty listening devices have unique responses, one brand of earbuds will be different from the other.
