putting unsaid words in the mouths of others.
Too bad.... It precludes any really meaningful discussion.

I did not put words in your mouth.
I asked you a question. "...am I to understand ..."
Please stop accusing me of things I didn't do.
What did you mean when YOU said "I know of some recording engineers who mix to make their stuff sound good on a boom bx, because that is the marker they are aiming for. Do I want a boom box mix in my listening room: not really."
I was asking IF you meant that your system "corrects" for a boom box mix.
If that's not what you meant all you have to do is say so.

You say that you don't listen to music mixed to sound good on boom boxes. Almost most pop recordings for the last 50 years have ultimately been played back on small cheap speakers in the studio so we would know that the music would sound good on boom boxes, car radios, walkmans,televisions and MP3 players. By the way we used 3" auratone speakers in our studio. We should be greatful that some of these recordings sound great on our systems.

Not all studio monitors were terrible, for instance.
BBC used several licensed variants of the Rogers LS 3/5, which has become sought after by some aficionados. I don't know about other radio studios/stations. It appears many wear headphones. That is all I will risk saying in this discussion.

I think ahendler meant "in addition to".
It's true, in my experience, that in addition to a great monitor system an engineer will "check" the sound in a car or on a boom box for compatibility. I know I always do. You have to make sure the mix "travels".
In the earlier posts I thought we were talking about mixes that were mixed specifically to sound good on a boom box. I know some hip hop and rap music is mixed that way. [In the old days, a lot of times, there were two mixes for each release, a normal mix for the album and a "radio" mix to be played on the radio.]
Those were the mixes that I was referring to when I said that I did not normally listen to that type of mix.
These are just my opinions.

The moderators feel that allowing this thread to continue, even though it may hold useful information, will wind up creating more trouble than it solves, and thereby detract from the purpose of this forum.This is not the appropriate venue for discussion of this matter, and we ask that those with an interest in the subject, take it elsewhere (e.g. private e-mail).
No further follow-ups will be considered.
