Just one little caution about the mixing-on-small-speakers/headphones issue: if you don't check your mix on big speakers (and there are some other conditions as well), you may run the risk of getting too much bass on your mix --- which you'll only hear on systems that have bigger speakers.  It could be very embarrassing if you do a mix that sounds great on Auratones (for example) or on headphones and then on a system that has woofers of some kind, you suddenly hear some huge bass sound covering up the rest of your mix.

  Good thread and all great advice. As another recommendation for well priced monitors I've been using the Wharfedale Pro Diamond 8.2 actives for a few years now. They're remarkably cheap even here in Australia but I find them more revealing, "colder", and less flattering than my Dynaudio BM6's which are a great deal more expensive. I know they are the dirty little secret of more than a couple of mastering engineers. Be interested to know if anyone else here uses them. And one more possibility are the Avantone Mixcubes which are designed to replace the old Aurotone 'snotblocks'. If you can get a your mix sounding alright on these it should translate to just about anything, and given most people listen on crap gear now that's a plus. Don't think you need to spend 400 pounds, just listen to some well built ones and then spend some months getting used to them.
