I was also wondering if you always have your speakers like that, DXsnipe? It doesn't screw up the stereo imaging?

I love it! I don't have space for a real vocal booth in my setup. So all my gear including the fans from the pc generate a low frequency in the room. I've found that this screen keeps the room noise out of the recording... even using the bluebird.

It also helps with the ambience... my room is not dead. The panels I made help with reducing the reflections in my small space 11X11... I need to do more bass trapping for the low frequencies from the monitors.

I remember you in a thread asking about new monitors. Why the hell aren't you using those big clunkers you got for anything more than turntable stands. If they're not broke, i'm pretty sure they have a superior sound to what you're using!

Try them out!

LOL big clunkers, yeah maybe i should give em a shot but wont the amp and the speakers give me coloring, cos thats what my monitors are doing now.
 
A/B them with your current monitoring. I hate to sound harsh, don't think I'm b**chin at you, but book smarts ruined production. On paper you're supposed to have "flat" monitoring, an amp may "color" speakers more than "real monitors"(notice the quotes).

Things I've learned. Larger woofers give a way better bass response. Higher wattage gives you better perception of peak volumes, I have no problem taking "a little coloring" in return for the ability to pop my CDs in my car or get them played in a club without any surprises. Until I can afford professional powered monitors that are at least 200W each with 8inch woofers that surpass the sound I currently have, I'm very happy with passives and hifi/bookshelves.

2 Questions.

1. What year were powered monitors introduced and what was used in professional studios beforehand?

2. What will your final product be played through?


Give them a shot, that's all I'm asking you to do, play some old stuff you make on those lil' crapboxes you got hooked up now(NO OFFENSE)if you can't get a better perception of everything in your mix through those huge beautiful speakers running through an amp, you log back on and call me the biggest stupidest idiot to ever post nonsense up here and I will take bake everything I've ever said about speakers outperfoming monitors!

Ya know what, after the other post i've read from you in the past and this one, i'm convinced not to spend money on monitors. I was very close to getting those yamaha hs80m's, but whats the point having that when the acoustics in my room are probably as **** as a toilet.

Now that i've thought about it i've actually been lied to by these brands, they slap the word "monitors" on the name and its suddenly different from bookshelf speakers. Those speakers are pioneer's and my Dad said they're older than i am, (18) and the speakers they made back in the day would **** on and crip walk all over the speaker they make today.

But one thing i need to get straight is setting the bass and treble. Do i just leave it in the middle, do i cut it or boost it. One thing i'm gonna do for sure this christmas holiday is learn how they translate to other speakers.
 
I would say leave them flat. But then again, you should probably ask Deranged. Haha
 
^^^Cosign. Leave them flat, if you do curve, it's cool if you give yourself time to get used to them. If those are Pioneers, I'm pretty sure they sound amazing. keep us posted.
 
Yup, i've set em up, so far so good these are waaaaay BETTER than those wack ms-20's.

I might make a lil beat later and see what theyre like when trying to mix.

^^^You can pop those dents out of the bubbles in your woofers with a piece of tape. Just tak a strip, apply it to the dent and pull slowly until they pop out. It they don't pop do a quick, firm yank.

Check out some of your old mixes and tunes, you'll notice tons of subtle differences.
 
the biggest difference was that i have less bass in my old beats than i thought I had, this was always a problem. I would go and play my beats at better studios with real monitors and i barley heard any bass, which is good because now i know these speaker are more truthful than the ms 20's.

I just made quick beat, mixed it a little then played them on my macbook speakers and there still wasn't much bass.

When I listen to other producers beats on my laptop i can hear the kick and the basslines nicely, but mine....nothing. I think form now i just need to study more on how low frequencies work, thats all im focused on right now. Low end.
 
When you get time, google those Pioneers. I'm sure some big rock record was mixed on them without knowing anything about them. I buy bulky vintage speakers at pawn shops all the time, always google them when I get home and find tons of cool history behind them.

If you can really pump those without any complaints, you'll lear how intense effects you apply really are. Like all the way down to noise shaping. Alot of monitors give you a "slight differential" but on those, stuff like EQ and compression will make alot of sense. You may even begin to understand why I never use them much.

I guess it's time for us to get back to showing studio pics now!:cheers:
