 Re: do i need monitors?
Actually, the answer can be no.
I have monitors and wouldn't mix without them, but you could mix with a good set of headphones and then burn the result to a disc. Play that disc on a bunch of different systems, home stereo, a boom box, a car stereo--the more the merrier and the weaknesses in your mix will come out. This is more work obviously but does preclude the need for near-field monitors. Even with monitors, I still perform this test on my mixes.
