I know plenty of folks that still mix with them. Just last month we had
an LA "kid" - early 30's - doing some work here for a major label, and
he loves ns-10's. (It ain't all just us old farts.) And you may be
surprised to learn that with a 4b they are not fatiguing at all.

When you mix you don't wanna spend 100% of the time listening to one
anything. That's why there are small monitors and big ones in real
control rooms. You have to find a mix that works on both. You'll never
know for sure if it does until you listen to both.

When people in our recording classes ask well which is right, the large
or the small monitors?? I tell them their answer is halfway between
them both.

But the mix still has to work on both of them.
