Hi, Leslie. Thank you for your mixing and education work! What listening techniques do you use while mixing? Off-axis listening, listening in mono, make balance in auratones or which? How often do you take pause while mixing? And the last question:) Which monitor level do you use in mixing? Best wishes and regards, Vlad.

I mainly only listen in my Focal Twin6’s with a Sub 12. I trust them and I just take regular breaks. Typically monitor at a medium level not too loud.
