I agree with that, but would add that when I get something laid down
and think I'm satisfied with it, I then check it on a pair of average
headphones, my home stereo, and the car CD player. This can be very
revealing and is a real-world test.

Yep, JAPA is great. I use it to calibrate
PA's here.
I'm flattered :-)
But more and more
I learn not to rely on this apps and visualizers, because you will
listen to the music and not see it. ;-)
And a straight line in JAPA doesn't really tell you wether the bass
(as an instrument) is to loud or that some frequencies from the guitar
are to loud while it still fits into a linear spectrum of your
music...
I agree 100% with this. Mixing should be done 'by ear' and nothing else.
The only danger is that it takes very little time to get used to a bad
spectral balance or some particular coloration, and almost always turning
some filter gain up _seems_ to improve things. It takes some training
or experience to avoid falling in this trap.
