Scenario: you listen to a mix on a sound system outside of your studio and it sounds bad. What can/should you do?
I see similar questions asked, though they are usually geared towards specific songs and typically the OP is claiming the mix sounds perfect on their monitors but awful in the car or something. Most of the time the response is that their mix is definitely not perfect in the monitors (and they refused to accept that answer for some reason).
I want to ask more broadly, from a novice perspective. What should you do in that scenario? I'll fully acknowledge my mix is not perfect,
so I'm curious how one takes that "feedback" and applies it to the mix. Should you be trying to compensate for the sound in the other system? Is it an indicator your monitoring is bad?
I'm curious how one reconciles the differences between hearing a mix in a mostly flat monitoring environment vs. more colored consumer speakers or headphones.
