I agree the car thing it's slightly counterintuitive, but somehow my car highlights things that sound fine on any other "reasonable" playback device...
Oh, I would definitely say it's useful to reference a mix in a car (or a car like environment). Mixing is all about perspective and with any new perspective you can learn something. My comments were merely observations, not critique. I tend to think about thinking a lot and I try to consider the whys and hows. When I listen in different playback environments I want to understand the physics and the psychology that leads to the way I hear things and hearing other people's view points helps to reinforce or refute those observations. Sometimes making a controversial comment leads to a more robust discussion of these things but ultimately the purpose is not to discourage one approach over another but more for me to consider why I do things the way I do.ghettosynth wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 6:09 am
But if you have bass problems, the things that you can't really just correct with software, it often shows up in a car. Yes, car systems are bass heavy, and for people that make bass heavy music, that system will reveal the too much or too little bass that you didn't hear in your studio.
Also, I think that you might be over-interpreting a casual statement...
Tragically, my motivation is often laziness.
