1. Simple images in the hard left and
hard right positions.

2. Monitor low, turn up loud on OCCASSION.

3. Understand masking well, especially high end masking which seems especially true inside PT. A single tamb track can diffuse most the high end of gtr strums! Choose your high range stuff carefully...

4. Listen to something else every so often to get the ears off topic and limber for a while.

5. Utilize dynamic range, don't squish the mix to death with over compressing. Yeah its fun to watch the lights and all, but really... Utilize some depth!

Good luck, hope this contributes? SSL or not!

PS. The limitations of summing in the system actually can work in your benefit! There is provided a framed picture so to speak inside the box! It has a shape similar to this symbol: }

Yes a, }

That is, the center has punch resolution and depth but that edge and stable imaging seems to get blurred as you get out of center spot, panning wise. The edges of the sound field have a bit less edge, presence and depth in masking terms than the center!

Thus use it to mix up the center and be a bit more judicious about the outer edges! This is sorta like the 'ol less is more statement...
