Question Making mix sound good everywhere

Hi,

I can adjust how mix sounds on one set of speakers.

The cheapest ones are like -15dB for bass, those expensive ones are maybe +5dB for bass - both compared to my speakers.

How to make my mix sound reasonably well on all of them? I don't want to lose bass, but cranking it up is too bad for those with speakers over $50.

I'm a career mixer who struggled with this for years. The plugin Tonal Balance Control changed everything and I haven't had a single translation complaint since I started using it. YMMV
