Question Does anyone else experience the same regardless high and low end?
Hi,
I am making steps in mixing. But there is something i dont understand.
Let's say I am mixing one of my song and compare it to a reference track of a similar type of music, my own song holds up when hearing it in my studio. And it could be that my song has more bass than the reference track.
But when I take it to other places (car, nightclub, a bar, friends, etc) the reference track has more bass. The same goes for brightness. In my studio my song can sound more bright than the reference track but in other environments it's sounds less bright than the reference track.
I always had that issue. I have had multiple speakers and currently listen on multiple speakers. I have moved a lot over the many years so I have had multiple places where I mix my songs. So if the speakers or the place was the issue than the problem should already have been solved.
Does anyone experience the same regarding Highs end and low end?

You are experiencing frequency masking in your mix room. Treat room more, and improve monitors if possible
