tweeter control

[shackrock]

on the back of my new RtR's, there is a knob that says tweeter...and it goes from 1-10.

do i want that on full or lowest when i'm mixing?

[Blue Bear Sound]

The better ones go to 11!

[shackrock]

so pump it up all the way for mixing? ha.

My comment was a slightly-subtle reference to a part in the movie "Spinal Tap"... somewhat before your time, I think!

If you haven't seen it, you should -- it's a de facto standard as a parody of the music industry............

Before viewing Spinal Tap, I believe The Ruttles would be prerequisite, wouldn't it?

[shackrock]

i see i see...ha.

so is spinal tap good? ha (tweeter high or low!?)lol...

Your ears, your room, your choice - as with all things audio, your ears should be the last word. Your environment isn't the same as anyone elses.

With ANY speakers, it's what you get used to. I would play several commercial CD's that you know, preferably in the same vein as your stuff, and adjust whatever controls you have for your tastes. Then, when you mix your own stuff, make it so you like it. Move it to different systems/rooms/cars, if you still like it your done...

oh yeah.... he did actually ask a question, didn't he?

[knightfly]

Dunno, I just throw random, occasionally erudite sounding answers out every once in a while, sometimes it means something to somebody, other times screw 'em... :=)

[shackrock]

ha thanks..(for nothing)... just kidding.

Start with maximum setting - to have more control when equalizing highs.
If this sounds shrill with commercial CDs, or your mixes sounds dull on other systems, reduce tweeter level.
