hi everyone,
i've always been super interested in making music but yet haven't really tried anything, until recently someone sent me a pair of jbl lsr305 so i wanted to setup my own music equipment and try things.
when i got the monitors i wanted to try the sounds but since i didn't have any cable to connect both monitors, i directly plugged a regular audio cable with a 1/4 adapter to one monitor and my iPhone, thought could use the single monitor as a "mono" output, it turned out that no matter what song i played the vocal sounded "cancelled-out", everything sounded just instrumental, i was wondering why but couldn't not find much info online. what hardware do you need to make it sound right?
i know this probably sounds quite stupid but i really don't have much experience with pro audio equipments and really want to learn. please can any of you masters out there help and explain for me?
also, what do you need for an easy home setup typically (just listening to music with monitors, or decide to make easy electronic beats)? does jbl lsr305 need a preamp? can a mixer replace a preamp?
kindly please help this newbie out and thank you in advance.
