What’s a mixing habit in Ableton you had to unlearn to finally get better results?

I second that. When I switched from 30€ speakers to okay-ish monitors (Yamaha HS8) and played around with an equalizer I was "oh.. fuck.. I can actually hear the changes".

It's All a Matter of Perspective

Audiophiles are the worst. “I just want to hear it the way the artist intended.” Go buy some Yamaha HS8’s and a decent dac, done. That’s what they probably referenced them through.

Studio monitors sound thin compared to headphones

Original ones, yes. Mark II models, stay away from. I used to be the Mackie service agent for the state and the modern stuff is utter garbage, top to bottom. Stay away from KRK Rockit models too as they all succumb to failure due to corrosive glue, and poor thermal management. Yamaha HS7/HS8, Mackie

I just paid off my mortgage, gosh , it feels good.
