hiya, list! i'm planning to get a pair of studio monitors, preferably active ones. anything u can recommend, any positive/negative experiences? most probably i'll go to Berlin to buy 'em and few other devices since professional audio gear is rare and rather expensive in my homeland Latvia [except old soviet analogue synths without midi support, that is]. i fancy second hand gear as well, maybe people in Berlin can gimme a hint where should i look for it? on a side note, what can u say about dbx 266xl compressor? /z99
Re: (313) studio monitors // berlin // dbx
funny -- i just bought a pair of studio monitors this afternoon. take a look at the KRK V6. i'm just getting started in production and this is the first pair of monitors i've owned, but I did quite a bit of research and listening before settling on these. I can tell you already that they are very good at reproducing subtleties without coloration. the others I have heard in the same price range -- Event, M-Audio, Mackie, Yamaha -- seem to overemphasize one aspect or another of the sound. For instance, electronic music sounded very good on the Event TR8, but play something with bass guitar and the lower frequencies sound muddy and undefined. The two main qualities with monitors are your ears, and the space you put them. As with any other speakers, what sounds great to me might sound terrible to you, and vice versa. I would definitely make sure that you can return them if they do not sound right once you get them home. also, Sound on Sound has some highly objective monitor reviews -- www.soundonsound.com - jobot - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, June 27, 2004 0:00 am Subject: (313) studio monitors // berlin // dbx hiya, list! i'm planning to get a pair of studio monitors, preferably active ones. anything u can recommend, any positive/negative experiences? most probably i'll go to Berlin to buy 'em and few other devices since professional audio gear is rare and rather expensive in my homeland Latvia [except old soviet analogue synths without midi support, that is]. i fancy second hand gear as well, maybe people in Berlin can gimme a hint where should i look for it? on a side note, what can u say about dbx 266xl compressor? /z99

I would thats true, the ears can judge! although i think anyone of us can admit good sound, or at least interesting sound since sometimes its intentionally left rough or, uh i also like these overdriven acid tracks with distorted noise serving as hihatline=) :: definitely make sure that you can return them if they do not sound :: right once you get them home. also, Sound on Sound has some well, thats what i wont be able to do i guess since most likely i'll buy them 1000km from home :: highly objective monitor reviews -- www.soundonsound.com thanks for the advice!

I've been using a pair of M-Audio Studiophile SP5B's for the past 2 years and have no compalints. I always mixdown on them, and check my mixes on the home and car stereos. Whatever you do, just avoid home speakers. Your mixes will most likely sound like garbage when you listen to them on other systems. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Saturday, June 26, 2004 10:00 PM Subject: (313) studio monitors // berlin // dbx hiya, list! i'm planning to get a pair of studio monitors, preferably active ones. anything u can recommend, any positive/negative experiences? most probably i'll go to Berlin to buy 'em and few other devices since professional audio gear is rare and rather expensive in my homeland Latvia [except old soviet analogue synths without midi support, that is]. i fancy second hand gear as well, maybe people in Berlin can gimme a hint where should i look for it? on a side note, what can u say about dbx 266xl compressor? /z99 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

hello - I've been checking out monitors as well, and am curious if anyone has these: http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?ItemID=21288TempID=8Method=2CategoryID=0BrandID=0PriceRangeID=0PageNum=0DepartmentID=7DepartmentKeeper=pagesize=10SortMethod=0Word1=monitorContains=%22%2Amonitor%2A%22Search_Type=SEARCHGroupCode=nonetodaythanks and what your thoughts are on them. or if anyone can recommend something similar inexpensive for use with recording/making music/mixes using a computer/mixer/decks all setup near each other. the small speakers I have now are pretty crappy, and not even made for this - so most anything will be a step up for me. thanks lisa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: funny -- i just bought a pair of studio monitors this afternoon. take a look at the KRK V6. i'm just getting started in production and this is the first pair of monitors i've owned, but I did quite a bit of research and listening before settling on these.

Re: (313) studio monitors // berlin // dbx
I've heard 'em, and they're okay for $99 speakers. they're nice if you need something portable -- my pal brought a pair to Detroit so we'd have something to screw around with Ableton and watch dvd's on in the hotel. I'd say they're more on the level of good computer speakers than cheap professional monitors. i swear to god they haven't paid me off, but give the KRK RP-5 a listen. they sound real similar to the V6's and at $300/pr they're an absolute steal. http://www.zzounds.com/item--KRKRP5 - jobot - Original Message - From: lisa [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, June 27, 2004 4:34 pm Subject: Re: (313) studio monitors // berlin // dbx hello - I've been checking out monitors as well, and am curious if anyone has these: http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?ItemID=21288TempID=8Method=2CategoryID=0BrandID=0PriceRangeID=0PageNum=0DepartmentID=7DepartmentKeeper=pagesize=10SortMethod=0Word1=monitorContains=%22%2Amonitor%2A%22Search_Type=SEARCHGroupCode=nonetodaythanks and what your thoughts are on them. or if anyone can recommend something similar inexpensive for use with recording/making music/mixes using a computer/mixer/decks all setup near each other. the small speakers I have now are pretty crappy, and not even made for this - so most anything will be a step up for me. thanks lisa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: funny -- i just bought a pair of studio monitors this afternoon. take a look at the KRK V6. i'm just getting started in production and this is the first pair of monitors i've owned, but I did quite a bit of research and listening before settling on these.
