Default Re: Is pro tools what I want? What else do I need?

Room treatment is not only for the vocals but when mixing also. Example, smaller rooms will have a lot of troubles with low frequencies mods. Meaning that in part of the room the low frequencies will be boosted and in other part it will wanish. This will have an effect on how much you will either boost or cut out the low frequencies when you mix because the room will fool you into thinking it needs more or it needs less. That will also apply to the rest of the frequency spectrum.

Early reflection or flutter echos will play a role into how much reverb you will be adding. Example a room without treatment produces a lot of rebounding echos when the sound wave bounce from wall to wall, ceiling to floor, floor to wall etc. This can fool you to think that you have to much reverb and you will put much less than you actually intend in your mix and then when you listen to your mix somewhere else you will find it dry. Same way with the frequencies. When you will listen to your mix somewhere else you might find it bass heavy or ear screeching because theres too much compensation in the highs. That is what we are calling a mix that will translate well. If your room is well treated then when you listen to you mix somewhere else it will sound close to what you were hearing it in your room while mixing.
