Pretty excited because my new monitors just came in today, they're the Mackie CR series (I know, not the best but I feel like this will be good for now until I'm fully committed). The sound on them is pretty impressive. Way better than the Beats headphones I've been using.
Anyway, now that I actually have monitors how do I monitor the kick drum? When I was mixing with headphones it was always too loud when I played it back in my car for example. So do I just find what sounds right on the monitors and hope they'll sound good elsewhere?
Also, has anyone had experience in plugging the rear port on monitors? Due to my room restrictions, my monitors are placed about 2 ft from me on both sides and about 6 inches from the wall. The bass response is a bit much from the wall so does anyone have any advice on how to alleviate this?
