Since October '25 I've been trying to compensate for some hearing loss by re-balancing my monitor system both for room acoustics and hearing correction.
After much trial and error, this test mix of a song tracked several years go is the point I'm at. The track is -18 LUFS, peak -1.5 LUFS, dynamic range 7 LU.

Some broad feedback from the community on the overall balance (or lack of) much appreciated.
Sorry for delay Mark, but only just got round to checking this out.
Need to give it a full run through, but wanted to check first if you'd changed much since the original mix a few years ago, particularly the vocals. I may have messed up the file transferring to the studio PC, but I don't remember the melody rising unexpectedly, e.g. at 22 secs.
It may be intentional, in which case I apologise, but didn't want to continue until I checked with you.
It could also be just me with my one good ear and untreated room
