[sdiy] Moogey jitter - the old times were the oldest.

[harry bissell]

LOL... if you're not kidding

The idea is to get the mix to sound good in the widest range of possible
playback equipment. 

I did an early mix of my CD in my Dynaco A-25 speakers (one, a very 
respected
choice).   When I got some JBL 4410 and listened to what I did, it was 
ALL wrong.

You mix by ear, if the speakers have some fault you will compensate by 
tweaking
everything.  Then it will sound like SH!T on everything else.

I had a one-off CD burned before I committed to the production (at that 
time $150 for
one CD).  Then I took to all my friends houses and bored them to death 
by listening to
it on their systems.

Good monitor speakers are indispensible, IMHO.  Mix there first, then 
test it on everything
else...
