One thing ive done with my tiny amateur setup is close my eyes and click the switch a bunch of times, such that I can attempt to discern between two settings but no longer know which is which, and then attempt to discern a difference. The crossfade sounds like a very interesting method although it would prevent the destruction of knowledge for me as (at least I don't know how) you can't randomize it. But maybe my approach is terrible, it's just something I cooked up because I noticed I couldn't tell what anything was doing anymore, it helped make difficult decisions slightly easier. I would also be interested in hearing about the studio! Was it just a big place that you were renting occasionally, is it possible to rent a real room with a mastering desk? Im still renting so I can't do all those fancy room modifications yet.
