I wasn't sure exactly where to put this since the "Mixing" thread seems geared toward DJs but...
I mix normally with 2.1 speakers- it's really a 5.1 system but I only have a left, a right, and a subwoofer hooked up. When I mix, everything sounds tight, etc. But the other day I went over a friends house to let him listen to my stuff and everything sounded flat. Now he has $500 Alessis (sp?) studio monitors, but I'm not sure exactly what the problem is.
I'm in a college dorm room, and space is limited, so my question is should I wait and get some good monitors or do I need to do something special to my speaker settings (I have an Audigy 2 soundcard) or will a good pair of studio headphone do the trick. If headphones will do it, could you give me a few recommendations? Thanks in advance.
