I monitor the mix using my powered monitors. Then, if I'm wondering how it will hold up in the real word, I bring up the old stereo into the "monitoring" mix. The reason I use the old stereo is because it will pick up bass and throw it in your face (something the powered monitors won't). If the old stereo has to much bass coming fron play back, I know to back off. -------------------- kaboombahchuck -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
