Hi, I'm new, first post. I've been reading for a year though...
I have been home recording for several years. I have just been using home stereo systems and speakers to monitor, and using cheap computer speakers. As I continually upgrade my gear, I am considering buying some specific "monitor" speakers. But then I got to wondering--why?
Currently I am able to get good sounding mixes and masters that don't just sound good in the room they were made in. I check it through three different stereo systems/speaker sets, and through the computer monitors. My recordings sound good in other rooms and on car stereos.
Can someone explain to me why I need studio monitors? What I've got is working for me just fine.
Perhaps I just have a good room (I have a used book store, so there's a fair amount of books on shelves in the room) and might find myself in a difficult situation if I change rooms?
I'm thinking that I could improve my sound quality more by spending 5-800 bucks adding to my microphone collection or buying other processors.
