Chris Lord-Alge stresses the importance of monitoring at a consistent, low volume to achieve accurate mixes, especially in less-than-ideal acoustic environments.
He advises sticking to a comfortable listening level once the beats or drums hit hard, as turning up the volume can cause the room to react unfavorably, leading to inaccurate sound perception.
Finally, he suggests always listening to some reference tracks that are well-known before starting a new mix, to maintain consistency and accuracy in the mixes.
