Talking Just got my new Yorkville monitors!

They finally arrived! I've been mixing with headphones and home stereo equipment for the past 5 years and I just wish I got these earlier. They sound amazing! My mixes are turning out so much better... I used to think I could do it all with headphones, but now that I hear the difference, there's no way headphones can produce these kind of results (even expensive ones).

I'm powering these with my old yamaha amp and they are working just fine.

So happy.... thank you thank you!

A little late now, since you've got monitors, but here's WHY headphones don't work for mixing (in case you were still curious!): Whad'ya Mean I Can't Mix With Headphones????

OHHhhh, you WEAR the headphones. When I tried using my headphones for mixing, my ears smelled like Bacardi for three days...

FWIW, I mastered several Grammy nominees on Yorkvillle YSM-1s back in the day. Learn them and you will be fine, ime...

Nice work on getting the monitors. I loved it when I got mine a few months ago, but I still haven't put them through their paces yet
