Ahh, I see. I have been keeping it on the correct +4dB setting, I'm glad to know that its pretty much impossible for me to exceed the monitors maximum of +6dBV unless I actually managed to exceed my interfaces maximum setting. Anyway, usually just past halfway is well enough, 3/4's is loud...

Keith.Rogers, Sorry to sound dense, but I'm not fully clear on what this means exactly. I have the monitors set to the correct +4dBu setting now. Does 10dBu=0dBFS then?

I did state I heard the same noise in my headphones, yes. I use a few different forums, and get a bit confused which one I have replied to. I'm brain damaged and this has impacted my memory, so quite often I get confused with things like this. I thought I could hear the sounds on the...

Thank you all for the helpful replies, and putting up with my questions. I tend to worry quite a lot, I find things more confusing than most people due to what happened and how my thought process now works. I do apologise if my questions ever seem silly. I do need room treatment, that is...

Mickster, at +4dB they only pop when I max out my interface output, and have the monitors above 7 and a half. Below this, they don't seem to do it with that track. I must say, it is ONLY that track that does it. I asked someone else to listen with their monitors, and they said the couldn't...

Thank you all for the help and replies. ECC83, I'm not really worried exactly, more that I wanted to ensure I had set everything up the best I possibly could. I read a few articles, this one mainly was the reason I was asking Why You Should Calibrate Your Studio Speakers : Ask.Audio I set...

Thank you for the help, I now know a lot more about SPL meters than I ever thought I would lol. Now, with the apps I have tried (I have tried 10) most seem to be consistent, a few DB apart, while 3 are much higher. I'm not sure which to go with, as I don't want to be damaging my ears thinking...

Ahh, I see. That makes sense, and I do get the feeling they are not making things simple for me. I found the box for the Scarlett, and the manual. Guess what? It says +4dBV! Seeing as I am using them for monitoring, and not to wake the neighbours, I will keep them on that setting. I haven't...

Ok, I've spoken to Focusrite on the phone, I double checked and there was an error in their manual which stated balanced connections were +10dBU! It isn't, the correct setting is -10dBV. +4 won't cause any harm, but will be much quieter. I phoned them to clarify things, they was very helpful.

Thank you, I had a feeling what he was saying might not have been true, and he was saying it to seem like he knew what he was talking about. I come across people like this all the time giving wrong information- I collect vaporisers, and used to review them direct from China. The things I have...

Hello, I received my first set of studio monitors this morning, the JBL LSR305's and am loving them. However, I have a question, which I need to know before I change anything incase I damage the speakers. There is a setting for +4DbU, or -10DbV. -10DbV is much louder than +4, I only have to...

I have given myself a good slap. Turns out it was the track- I listened with headphones, and sure enough at the time in the song I heard the pops, there it was in my headphones. It wasn't as loud, but it was there. These are my first ever set of monitor speakers, and I knew they showed the...

OK, I am using a 15", 2013 MacBook Pro, with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 interface. I am using TRS to XLR cables to connect the interface to the speakers. I tried using my old 2010 MacBook Pro with the same song- and there was no popping sound! This is a big problem, as I bought my 2013 MBP as...

Hello, today I became the proud new owner of some JBL LSR305's. I am very happy, apart from one thing. When I turn the volume up to past conversation levels, sometimes there will be a big loud "Pop" or "Click", but the music carries on playing. Is this clipping, or something else? I have...

Hello everyone, I have recently got into production, and am in the process of converting a room into a dedicated studio. Money is tight for me- I'm recovering from a serious illness so am not working, and doing this is to pass the time, and also so I have learnt something worthwhile I can...
