Unless your mixing room is perfect and your monitors are of the highest standard, you can benefit from adding ARC Studio to your setup. According to Barry Johns, ARC Studio is the most cost-effective solution for those who don't have the budget for professional design and treatment of their home or project studios.

Some of us have to make do with what we've got and the circumstances that we're in. That's where the ARC Studio system comes into play and can help you.

If I had to choose between mixing in an untreated room without it and mixing in an untreated room with it, I would definately add ARC Studio to my studio.

There are probably other devices on the market, but I doubt they are as effective for the price.

I mixed for over a week in that space 5 or 6 songs of different genres. It did a great job for me overall. I recommend ARC Studio if it's within your budget.
