i would flip that desk around so it is facing the opposite way as well so you're not getting bad reflections from right behind you

hahahahaha

I wouldnt wall mount, its better to get the speakers away from the wall, but decoupling would be good. I would go wider with the speakers though for 3 reasons, 1. it looks like you are saying that your speaker cones will be less than 32" apart, i think that is too close to get a proper stereo...

I hear polished turds on the radio all the time

I've got a mulitrack recorder, an MPC, a virtual piano and guitar, and a turntable on my ipod, I might as well record my next album with nothing but it.

you could build your own preamp, I hear they're pretty good for the money, if you can figure out how to put it together... DIY Mic Preamp Kits - Seventh Circle Audio Mic Preamp Kits, PCB Design, Power Supply Kits, DIY Electronics

There will almost always be more than one sound in any given frequency range. If you have a vocal track and a guitar track, they are going to overlap in frequencies. It's a matter of using eq sweeps to find the frequencies that are too pronounced or that build up too much between the tracks, cut...

itunes probably isn't going to run on your profire soundcard. If you want to listen to itunes or other sounds from your computer on your monitors, you need to find a way to plug them directly into your computer, maybe using a 1/8 to RCA. Probably the only sounds you can run through your...

The plugins may not be hearing the tracks, but you're plugins can't automatically make something sound good. YOU, the listener has to determine that and set the plugins to do so. And just being able to see something gives you no basis to apply those plugins. You have to hear it, which is why a...

So I found this great forum, some of you may know of it,The Womb. They do this thing called CAPE where basically people sign up, and based on their 'specialties' (songwriting, mixing, guitar playing, etc.), they are put in groups. Each group then makes a song by sending stems back and forth to...

That said, consider getting some room treatment as well to get the most out of the monitors you do choose.

In your preferences you can try changing the project to 24bit, the daw might automatically resample the audio (this could negatively affect playback speed). But there won't be any increase in quality so why not just send the mastering engineer 16bit? They might ask for 24bit but I'm sure they...

I doubt there are any 'good' monitors for that price, especially a pair. You could get ONE KRK Rokit 5 for that price. Even that isn't a great monitor, but a lot of people will say they are decent. I use the Rokit 8's and I like them. You could also get M-Audio BXA5 for about the same price as...

Looks like you are the first and I appreciate your comments. There is no rapping though, so I'm not sure what you were hearing. Anyone else? Or is it sooo good that no one has any criticism?
