No..... I did not say they were expensive. But you have to admit there are CHEAP monitors which can be had for much less than 500 a pair. If I spent 200 on CHEAP monitors I would EXPECT them not to last. (not to say I expected my PS5's to last for more than a few years) My point is this... I...

A few things to say before you start on the "zip - you should know better than to buy cheap gear speal..." I turned on the monitor today and it worked again. I guess it overheated but I have no idea why. I'm contacting Event to see what they can do... Secondly. I very much agree with your...

I think it's the amp or power supply... It cut off / on for awhile now won't turn on at all.... :( zip >>

Begin Rant! ___ Shit - Damn - Shit!!! One of my PS5's just died! It's only 3 months old!! To make matters worse now I've been reading that Event monitors are "prone" to blow!! Anyone else have probs with them?? End Rant!____ To make things unbearable...the Event website is (or seems to be)...

Q...... LOL!! That is strange! Honestly I didn't notice the dates....and I just got the notification! All in good fun anyway...whatever that is... :D OK - the thread can die now..... :D

I tried the C1000 on my voice and didn't care for it either. Not sure what it would be like on an acoustic...

Hey!! ;)Can't you see I'm busy workin' here!! ;)

Mistress hmmmmm...... "But it's okay and I have enjoyed all the posts and learned that for me Sound Forge will always be a fun toy to play around with but will not make me a Master or Mistress or whatever the case may be. " A Mistress is good. :D How rich do I have to be... ;);) zip >>

Plug-ins... Plug-ins are programs which run inside of programs. If you are using Multitrack or editing software a plugin can be "placed" in a channel insert or an auxillary bus to give the effect. An analogy in the "outboard gear" world would be if you had a mixer and wanted to compress the...

Motu control panel... I have a 828 (I assume the 896 is similar) and you should have a software control panel. You should be able to go to monitor input and select which one you want to listen to. It is probably set to Analog 1-2 or none - which is why you can hear the playback. Select the...

...or maybe a set of spikes wearing little rubber duckie booties... ;)

Yup... Find a few good reference CD's that will be close to your music style OR that have the sound you are trying to achieve. Steely Dan - Aja seems to be a big fav around here. Listen to music in the style you are trying to mimic... The key is to listen to how things sit in a commercial CD...

Now yer talkin' !! The Truths' are modeled very closely after the Mackie 824's. You should have some good luck with them. Listen to as much good reference material through them as possible to "calibrate" your ears to the flat response. Listen to how everything fits together and try to mimic...

thick foam and spiked heels... I would imagine the thought behind spikes is to minimize surface contact with the floor. Not sure which would be more effective - a foam which would disperse resonances or a spike which would minimize contact to the lowest level possible. Hmmmmm.

Not slighting VIA at all... ...but there are some known issues with Motu firewire devices and VIA chipsets. I'll check out that site. Thanks! zip >>

I did post a similar thread on Sonik... But - different users offer different perspectives. That, coupled with the fact that those "in the know" over there go all out and get combos I can't afford. Anyway - I like as many opinions as possible before I make this change! I researched the Motu /...

Interesting Phloodpants... Here's the reference I found in "The Mixing Engineers Handbook"... "Monitors that are mounted directly on top of a console meter bridge without any de-coupling (foam) are subject to comb filter effects, especially in the low end. That is, the sound travels through...

I'll check on the power supply...thanks. :) I guess you are chosing the Athlon for monetary reasons? (to try and fit my budget)

True.... Imagine an equalateral triangle between your head and the monitors. If the center of your monitors are say 3.5 feet apart, the center of your head should be 3.5 feet from each monitor. The monitors should be positioned so the imaginary "line" coming from the triangle is perpendicular...

I'm getting ready to sink yet more cash into my PC because I'm quickly finding as my software gets more powerful (Logic 5) my PC just ain't cutting it. :( This is my current PC setup... PIII 550MHz w/ 810e chipset 2 - 7200RPM Maxtor HD's (40/60gig) Motu 828 w/ Maxtor FW card 256Meg SD ram...
