Badly recorded songs that people love anyway: what listeners actually notice

Low end is the giveaway and there is a reason it is so consistent: small untreated rooms have serious problems below a few hundred hertz, so what you hear at the desk is not what is on the recording.

Cheapest meaningful fixes, in order: move the desk out of the corner and off the wall, put something thick and soft behind you, and check on multiple systems.

Also: mix quieter than feels right. Loud listening flatters bass and makes you under-do it, which is why home mixes so often turn out thin everywhere else.
