Thanks jasensmith!
Now I see! I liked your smell example... 😃
The other question I always have is, why is it that so many times I will make a mix that sounds great on my monitors but awful on regular speakers. Why does this happen and what goes on technically here?

Thank you Dietz and Mika!
I am just curious, why does a ribbon tweeter not cause ear fatique -- for studio monitors that have them? And btw, I don't understand what this ear fatique is really, as I never experienced it...
I guess ear fatigue depends on the ears but, for my ears, it's when I'm having difficulty hearing subtle changes in effects that I've applied to an audio signal. Also, I tend to be more tolerant of derogatory frequencies in the signal. Later I'll come back, listen to the signal and immediately cringe saying, "who the hell mixed this muffled mess?" 🤢 "Oh... I mixed it 😳.
It's like walking into a room that has a foul oder but, for whatever reason, you have to remain in the room for a while. So you build a tolerance for the oder. You get used to it. Then, somebody else walks into the room and it hits them like a brickwall. They hold their nose and declare, "Good God, who died in here?"
