Very good advice!
Thanks for all your help..... Bergz.

For example, a smaller room might not have the space for the low-frequency waveforms to properly unfold, meaning that you might want monitors that do emphasise bass somewhat. If you're in a large room, however, then you will get a proper bass response anyway, and any attempt to emphasise bass frequencies on your monitors will have an overamplification effect. I mix down in a pretty small room, so am probably going to go for the Alesis M-1 monitors when I can be arsed to ditch my hi-fi Mission speakers! But my process for properly mixing down tracks currently involves listening to them in the studio, then in my bedroom, then on my flatmates crap-but-bassy sound system downstairs, then on headphones at work, then at my friend's house, etc etc etc. I also like to have the track playing in my room, and walk in slowly from outside - it's often interesting to see which parts of the song are the first things you hear as you "walk in" on it, rather than always listening to it bloody loud from start to finish...
