Anyone Here Not Using 'Proper' Monitors?

[gmhg41]

I've got some 6" bookshelf speakers and an old Technics reciever. I also use some Koss headphones, and I check my mixes on some old big Pioneer speakers in my livingroom and my car.

It's what I have, so it's what I use, and I'm mostly recording acoustic instruments anyway, so my "mixing" isn't nearly as involved as what a lot of folks do.

I mixed our last album in the corner of a small untreated room using Klipsch ProMedia computer speakers.

I had to do a lot of mix checks on other systems and it ended up taking about 6 months.

I have Klipsch too and love them. I use 6 pairs. My cheap Behringers studio monitors, Polk 10,s, Klipsch, Logitechs, Advents and some other set. Also use headphones. Just won a set of Sennheiser HD600's on ebay

I never mentioned back in 07' when this thread started, but the speakers I ran on for many years before getting the SP Tech's were Klipsch 3-ways.

Big difference though.

I use a couple tin cans soldered up to a magnet with dinner plates as speakers...why what do you guys use?

I kidnapped a couple of hall monitors from the local elementary school but all they do is squeel and feedback.

Mental telepathy for me.

Once they figure out the whole transducing brain wave to analog thing ... my mixes are going to totally rock.

Back before the baby was born and my control room was comandeered for use as a nursery, I would run a few sets of speakers. I have a couple sets of "proper" monitors", but I always seemed to wind up doing most of the mix work on a set of B&W 601's powered by my old early 80s vintage Harmon Kardon HK-870 power amp. I was using *gasp* stereo speakers

hey, in the end, whatever works is what works

I have been there-

I used a really cheap (bass heavy) pair of stereo speakers to mix on when I first started to record. LOL- I would burn off about 4 different versions of the same mix and run around trying them out on as many different speakers as I could find- taking notes where to adjust the mix. Now that I have some quality nearfields I FEEL LAZY. I just sit there in one spot and focus on the mix. Where is the fun in that?
