Quiet Mixing
Never thought I'd become such a fan of quiet mixing, but it has become a major part of the process for me. When you turn the mix waaaay down and then try to hear all the elements it seems you can really get the relative levels right.

In fact, I hit the mono button often while doing this so that it's just a real quiet mono version and then I try to hear all the instruments and have them sit together as one.

Somehow down low in mono really forces the mix to even out...

yeah I like that too.

only I can still hear it up at my place, so, well I guess I am asking you to turn it down just a little more, k?

seriously though,

I like low volume listening and mixing.

The other night I was sorting through my pornographic magazines (sorted alphabetically by perversion) and I had the small stereo on low. I could really hear things differently - - different elements stood out in the mix.

It was good ... I made some notes for a couple of adjustments, but overall I found the mix transferred almost the same as from loud. Not quite like from VERY LOUD but just about matching the loud mix level.

I totally agree.

It allows the ears to be as wide open as when you are in a low-light condition and your eyes are open wide.

I blame Fletcher.

Munsen is okay on this one, he beat the rap. But that Fletcher dude, man he has some explaining to do on low-level mixing.
