Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - My Mixes Suck: Is it me? Is it my speakers? Is it the room?

I'm not an expert, but I can tell you this much, changing your mix position as adviced will already help a lot.

Before you spent money on new speakers, I really recommend you spend it on trying to improve your room. The difference can be HUGE, in fact, I dare say that no different monitor in the world can provide so much "in your face" improvement as acoustical treatment (especially if you mix bass heavy music).

There is LOADS of information regarding that subject here on the forum, and there's even a couple acoustical experts on gearslutz too.
