Big recent project in Omaha as I did some rebuild on a desk I built in the 1970's:

Great folks gave me a chance to attempt to redeem myself <g>.
ANYWAY...working with guys half my age, and I totally realized that mixes for Iphones, etc require a different mix than, say a car stereo.
Duh..."back in the day", we would throw a mono and stereo mix for a song or jingle or whatever.
Iphones (without earbuds) are essentially mono...like the "postage stamp" speakers in my laptop.
DUH again...I am late getting back into mixing.
BUT, I am hearing big mix differences ...
Example...One of my recent fave songs is "Come a Little Closer" by Cage the Elephant. In mono (my clock radio or on my laptop...yeah 2 postage stamp speakers...let's agree...mono), the guitar sound in the chorous REALLY sticks out..and totally sounds COOL!!!! Beyond cool....(ahem). In the car, or on my computer speakers...it's back in the mix.
At my geriatric (G!!) age, I'm mixing again. Need input. Mix for cars? Mono Iphones?? Ipods? Ipads?? None of the above?
