what does a 1994 Jeep Cherokee a MacBook Pro and Audio files have in common?


a really nice mixing environment! over the years i've read in countless articles how it's good practice to listen to your mix in the car because of the acoustics and that there aren't much bass buildup. so i decided to mix a song in my trusty old Jeep; Julie aka Jules... and the result was awesome!! i can't believe how everything just sounded different and that there wasn't a lot of room EQ problems.

i've got an above average sound system in but nothing too fancy. what i've done was using the aux input of the stereo and the headphone out of the mac. the mac sound card is 48khz and that's also what i record at so no problems there. the result WOW! i'm going to try it in my friends fancy new car with a fancy big sound system and see if i get a better result. if i do i'll have to buy a new car with an awesome sound system :)
i might even buy a van. nice thought - getting the bucks to buy it is something else...
