Untreated Room: Skill Wins or No Way?
Question: Mixing in untreated rooms is 90% knowing the room and 10% the room itself. Facts or strongly disagree?

🎚️ Some producers swear that if you truly know your room, you can mix anywhere, even without treatment. Others say an untreated room will lie to you no matter how well you “learn” it.

Where do you stand? Facts or hard disagree?

Let the SoundGym debate begin.

If you're going to mix in an untreated room then you have to use references. Even if you know your room, you're still gonna want something to compare your mix to just in case. Eventually we should all strive to treat our studio spaces but obviously that's not cheap or easy to do. In the meantime it's best to utilize what you have and keep improving your listening environment progressively. This is especially important for beginners that are worried about mixing in an untreated space. Don't wait until you have the perfect room, get started now and make improvements as you go. Like I said at the beginning, use references and you'll get by.
