After a full career of doing live sound, I have been involved in studio projects just a couple of times, and live recordings a number of times. Most of the live recordings have been mixed on the fly. Some recording engineers I know have repeatedly comment on how they don't understand how I get the results I do, live, working at the pace live mixers work at. I have joked with them that I can put up a full sized system for a street festival, run 4 bands through it, break it down, and put everything away in less time then they can place a mic on a drum. I am currently involved in my first "high stakes" (meaning I really care about the quality of the outcome because it will be fairly widely distributed) mix down and mastering of live multi tracks. While I am learning some significant things along the way, I am very pleased with the outcome so far. That includes the advice I got in the thread about studio monitors.
