    it is possible; LOWING THE VOLUME! mix the other way around, start with the most low in volume stuff, learn your tools but you have to focus a lot ...I have done this the past, couldn't get panels on or modify the room, I was paying rent now I have room with panels but my mixes are awful ...

    Treating a room properly will certainly costs more than 500 euros. Consider Slate Digital VSX headphones. I know some professional engineers who vouch for it. I ordered recently and waiting delivery.

    According to people i trust, they don't replace the experience of a properly treated studio with high quality monitors, but they certainly replace the untreated room and the majority of headphones on the market. You'll have to adjust to them like any other gear. There are reviews on youtube worth checking.

    My vote is for Hd650’s + sonorworks + a modern boombox and call it a day in an untreated room.

    are you a pro? are you releasing professionally?

    and lastly, do you have an audience ie. does anyone care but you?

    if you are pro, and you don't have a pro setup, then hire pros and/or a pro setup?

    Not trying to blow you off, but that's the bottom line

    Based on my experiences with unthreated room.
    Better trust your headphone about 80% and your speaker 20%.
    As long as your headphones are industry standard, like the 250 ohm DT770 for example.

    Monitoring through monitors at very low volumes in an untreated room helps too.

    Can't you just look at the screen and see what you are supposed to hear? :guru:

    I burn a cd and listen to it in the car.
    Only problem with headphones is your ears are isolated.
    Normal listening both ears hear their channel and some of the other.
    Of course I'm old so I guess most peeps listen in earbuds.
    Just try the mix from a bunch of different sources.

    yes but even us old men know about dither down to 44.1khz 16bit audio and tricking the listener with a few ms or sample delay in one side channel. what is this the dark ages now? Next we will mix for these things called flip phones. Untreated is one thing. but cd? :rofl:
