You can consistently produce good mixes in untuned

it's much more difficult. If you're unable to build a
standing bass wave in your mix room then you'll boost
bass frequencies in instrument tracks and the overall
mix. When you listen to the mix on another playback
system and in different rooms there's likely to be to
much bottom end. Ultimately you're forced to become
familiar with the accoustics of your room by listening
to your product on other systems.
You can equalize monitoring systems but our experience
with that wasn't real good.
don't forget your space though.
"good" monitors
mean nothing without an
accurate environment. in fact I think the
accoustic environment your in is
far more important than your speakers. this is a
pretty vast subject but
So, does that mean you can't get a good final mix in
a home studio set up
in a corner of a bedroom or living room? From a practicle perspective it's difficult to
justify
spending alot of money tuning rooms that you don't
own. The key is to build accoustic modules that are
hung on the walls and can be removed.
Whether room accoustics or monitors are most important
to you probably depends on what you do. If commercial
work clients then you better have both. If it's your
own music then there's only one person to please.
