Hmmm :?
As John has pointed out, your priority needs to be the live sound. The fact that you are saying the live mix sounds like crap but the headphone mix sounds good is a worry.
What happens to you headphone mix when you get the live mix to sound good?
Remember that the room is going to sound different due to the size, shape, surfaces, materials, roof hight
etc. You should always (
IMO) mix to the room and use your ears to get the best sound that you can. In some rooms, there will be times when you simply cannot adjust the EQ to a point that you are happy with. Frustrating, but you just have to do the best you can.
Personally - I only use headphones to monitor an individual
channel to keep an eye (or rather an ear) out for problems etc.
Anyhow - just my thoughts and I would like to hear if you lose any quality in your headphone mix once you get your
FOH mix rockin.
