I found this video really interesting. I’ve always been wondering about the size of his studio and the monitors all over the place without any acoustic treatment to be seen:
“If you can make it sound good in a shitty room , it will sound good every where”
Interesting point of view.
I think artefacts induced by a small room still need treatment, though.
But mixing in a huge room indeed is a good advice.
I was also thinking that this probably needs to be seen in context of the barn that he used as his studio and the quality and number of monitors in it. Here he briefly mentions the quad setup
But then again, he also talks about his earlier music making days and I suspect that he didn’t have that studio back then.
I do like his pragmatism.
Having a room with acoustically usable dimensions and construction materials… One can dream. The rest of us need to fix what we can and hope things translate 
personally I still have a very steep learning curve to climb (in all and any areas of making music, but in particular mixing) before even thinking about acoustic treatment. 
That aside, I don’t think that my better half would be very impressed if I would start sticking foam blocks all over the bedroom, where she already has very generously and kindly agreed to let me keep my gear. But here’s a thought: Perhaps I should just encourage her to buy more cushions and pillows for the bed… 
The quote about ‘making sound good in a shitty room’ is just flat out wrong. If it sounds good in your shitty room, it’s very likely to sound like shit in a room that’s shitty in different way than yours. Or a good room, for that matter.
Yes, especially if you have strong low freq modes in the room (which is the case for 99% of small studio rooms)
Exactly 
Thats why half the time I mix in a nice set of open ear headphones. Makes a world of difference
A good example of when not to follow up on your idol’s thoughts. Obviously he has a studio of 60m2 and most of us work in a few m2. To compare sound and issues between them is irrelevant IMO.
yeah mixing in a large room with loads of gear providing basic diffusion isnt quite the same as mixing in a bedroom with a square box of dimensions. I kind of agree with him on not making it perfect, but small rooms do need an ample amount of bass traps to fix standing waves, while large rooms like his might not. This is simply because he can sit his mix position away from the wall to stop the “node” effect and most bedroom studios have to have the mix position and gear against one wall.
