Checking mixes outside of your room?

Thanks once more for doing this, Michael - your insight and information are excellent to say the least. Please don't be a stranger once the month's up...

I've read through almost all the threads, but I'm not completely certain this hasn't been asked yet:

These days, how much (if at all) do you reference mixes outside of your room? Are you taking anything home and casually listening in the background? Listening on your car system?

Is there anything that calls for CD-R reference?

Thanks again!

I personally don't take mixes home to check out, I go home to live my other life. Between my Proacs, Genelics, Yamahas and my all mighty radio, I have all the references I need. And my car isn't an option because that's prebooked for Willy Wonka, chitti chitti bangbang, elmo sings aretha and other inspiring music my kids prefer.

OT... but the new wonka soundtrack is awesome. Danny Elfman is the man!
