Marco and I are with you regarding the car test. We’ve never put out an album without one! Of course this: "But there’s an absolutely critical consideration to bear in mind if you’re making any changes to your mix based on the car test it has to be your own car, or at least one you drive regularly.” I hadn’t ever really thought about it. Makes so much sense. We HAVE tested in different band members' cars all together, however.

Fellow musicians writing & recording songs have always advised me to listen in the car before the final edits. This is a great explanation of why
Thanks Mark!
I didn’t do this for years because I didn’t like how my 2014 Outback sounded but I’ve gone back to it because it often reveals issues in the subs
