Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the answer.
I did know the things you wrote but I didn't think about them in this context, so thanks for reminding me.

This makes things more complicated. 🙂
I know, that it's best to get used to how the system sounds, but my problem here is the more than 10 dB difference at 4k.
4k is a very important frequency.
How would I be able to get two hard panned similar instruments to the same loudness?
For highs above 10k I use an analyzer to not dial in too much. I can't do that at 4k.
Another example: A duet with a male and female singer. Since one of them will be much more present at 4k, I will not be able to get them on the same level.
Mixing in mono might help.

Ideas, thoughts?

Guido
