Hi all,
Yet another monitor question for everybody:
I'm currently saving up some cash for a studio upgrade (more on that later!), and I've been having some successes with doing some recordings and getting some positive responses from demos. But, I have a big problem: I have no idea what's going on in the bass register.
I'm using Event TR5s which were good enough in my Brooklyn apartment because I couldn't turn it up to above quiet conversation volume. Now that I can actually, you know, LISTEN to my mixes on the monitors I've been trusting them more (I was doing most of my mixes on headphones in my apartment), which has been a big problem because I keep massively overhyping the bass... overcompensating for the lack of bass in the monitors.
Eventually I'd like to get some nice 8" monitors (Mackie HR824s? Maybe) but my budget for the studio first has to go to the remodel. So here's the question: for the time being, would it do me any good to get a subwoofer (maybe the KRK 10" one?). Is a sub with 5" speakers a stupid idea?
