think I'm seeing.
Then I would suggest you listen on a more linear playback system. How
your mix translates in a crappy system should be of no interest to you.
Listening on systems with a limited response can help to produce a mix
that works well everywhere. If a mix doesn't work on such a system,
it probably means that it tries to balance the bass by boosting the
lowest range and is lacking energy in the higher bass range.
