Used to mix Kings of Leon's Only by the Night, as mentioned in this July 31, 2019 Produce Like A Pro interview at 43:54.
The Only by the Night, "Use Somebody", was mixed on the Generation 1 of the Rokit 5s. No sub. That's what I used and I had also little pair of computer JBL speakers that I don't really use anymore, I kinda broke 'em, they're dead.
