Transparent Monitoring Is Key
Monitoring - you can spend the earth on a good pair of speakers but you have to be careful of falling into this 'speaker-envy' trap. All studio owners have their views on what are the best monitors out there but the truth is, the more 'true' a monitor signal the better, the better 'balanced' the speakers the better.
Monitors, Headphones & Acoustics...
Should you mix on headphones and/or Monitors? Should your monitors be active near field, midfield or passive near field?
How much is your room changing what you hear and how can you fix it? Is what you are hearing what other people will hear?
So many articles provide conflicting advice on this broad subject but we cut it down to the facts and present the best options for all budgets.
Types of Monitors
o whilst you can spend over €32,000 on a stunning pair of Adam S6Xs and they will sound great, replacing a tweeter because a paper clip is drawn into its magnetic field and bursts it could cost you fortune - would you be better with a pair of Yamaha HS8s for less than €600 a matched pair which are affordable, balanced, reliable, trustworthy and aren't going to break you if one gets damaged?Note - For most people a good pair of cans is good to get into the budget so you can work quiet, listen closely and avoid external noise (both ways) when working in the middle of the night.
