I have been playing with some of my practice tracks, just trying to polish them up a bit more and get a better idea of how everything would sound in a genuine professional human music track but I'm struggling a bit with my reverbs and delays. I can get my tracks to sound good - Properly wet - But when I move to a different set of cans the balance of reverb to original track is way off.
I know different speakers sound different, but I'm not talking about the actual EQ of the track. I'm talking specifically about how prominent the reverbs are. When I mix a track on my cheap downstairs earbuds so that the reverb is just barely on the cusp of audible, when I listen upstairs through my desktop monitors the reverb is really audible, and through my IEMs my subtle "just for wetness" reverb sounds like my "the first verse is supposed to be in an echo chamber" reverb.
When I just go and tweak the levels then it's fine, the tracks doesn't need any actual EQ adjustment. It's driving me somewhat crazy, because the difference is so stark that a good track I was happy with suddenly sounds shite and I'm not super keen to share a mix that sounds garbage if you listen to it the wrong way.
Advice please!
