and yes I'll admit that is based on my long standing dislike of anything

Do a mix of one of your tunes with NO EQ or EFX whatsoever;
just raw tracks, balanced out more or less evenly so that you
can hear everything. Pan a little bit if you wanna, but nothing
too severe L&R unless it's a stereo track - no EQ, no 'verbs,
no dynamics - nothing. Then burn that off to a CD - if that
doesn't sound anything like the mix in your room, then it's
your room or something's funky goin' on between your rig & the
monitors... if it DOES sound like in your room, then it's the
way you're mixing stuff - choices you're making when EQ'ing adding EFX, etc.

Try it... that way you have a true starting point.

It's really hard to describe, it has to be the room, but somewhere in =

to the reference CD's but I get to the car and I have to turn the bass =

this mushieness freaks me out, I really wonder if it my conversion to =

my stuff still gets some nice nods critically, but it is not how I =

Another option for a DAW is SawStudio...I've been working with a demo for a

YMMV
