Listen to your music at moderate levels in your car or on a boom box. This
is how most of your fans will listen to it, and mixing at loud levels will fatigue
your ears and distort the "true" sound.
Sometimes it's good to take a day off and come back to listen. The same
applies for mixdown. Ears don't last very long in the studio!
As you review each mix, make sure you can comfortably hear all of the
instruments. Tweak the mix on a small pair of speakers at an extremely low
volume. Headphones are also very valuable at this stage, but don't base
your final decision on them. You should be able to pick up each instrument
even at this level.
Learn to recognize ear fatigue. You're better off quitting a session early
when you're tired than wasting time making a bad mix that will have to be
redone anyway.
