I've said it before about this guy.....from my perspective, anyone that has a username like "dat_nigga" is not to be taken seriously.

Honestly, if this is real.. Well he has had the opportunity and posted in another thread that gave him recommendations on this ridiculous setup . You would think he would have made some changes just by the posts alone. Had he done any research, he would have redone the whole setup from scratch by now and taken a new pic.
I call shenanigans...

Yeah Rami is one of the good guys. The whole "vibe" (I hate that word) of this place has changed dramatically. I think that's part of the reason why he took off.

Not surprised. I PMd him a while back but he gone!

I bookmarked his website a few years back now and still visit regular to see what he's uploaded. Shame he left.

Haha. I did the same. Haven't checked back in a while but I think I will now.
Hope he's still recording.

The first thing you need to do is change your name. You were on here once before and you weren't nice then either. The salesman probably blew you off for the same reason. That's assuming you thought to ask them about those settings. Frankly I don't care if you're black or white, the name is offensive. Imagine if mine was Dat Nazi Cracker. Work on that.

Rod is right...change that stupid name. Whites are not allowed to call blacks that, blacks don't want to be called that, but commonly refer to themselves as that. If you don't want people to think of you as a nigga, stop acting like a nigga. No matter what your recording experiences are, most of us can't stop laughing at your name....and some of us are offended at not being able to call someone who behaves and thinks like a nigga, a nigga.
Now, you can't dabble at being a recording engineer anymore than one can dabble at horse racing or dragsters. You have to start at the beginning, like ALL of us did. We decided to spend some money on recording gear, some books on the subject, spend MORE money on MORE recording gear, etc... You have to learn this stuff...we can't help you mix what you hear in your head, on equipment we don't have. You need to download new copies of all the manuals you've lost. ALL studios, any size, have a manual for every piece of equipment, nicely stored in a 3 ring binder. We don't have every piece of equipment memorized. Once you use the same stuff over and over you'll need manuals less and less.
You seem to be fixated on how your work will sound in a car... Your studio should also have some inexpensive car stereo speakers as some sort of reference point. My home studio, not a great one, has four pairs of speakers...one set I designed and built myself, two sets of different store bought monitors, and a crappy pair of grey plastic York speakers, probably from a long dead boom box. They cost me $1 at Goodwill. I think you were doing rap so I have no clue how to mix rap for a car. The majority of people don't have massive speakers and sub woofers in their cars. When you have some extra money you should probably pick up a sub for your studio. Parts-express.com has lots of inexpensive speakers.
This project is going to cost you money, take up space in your room, require you to study 'how to record at home' books, and patience. Common sense helps. Once you use a professional name instead of something that is offensive you be off to some sort of start. Contrary to what most beginners think, controversy usually does NOT sell, especially stupid names. After Lady Gaga's meat dress nothing is 'outrageous' anymore....it's quite common place. Few will be drawn to the word nigga on a music for sale list. Get bright and stop acting like a 13 year old...."Oooo...I've said something naughty...!" Hugs...Nyms

They look like mackie MR5's to me from the pics i saw...i have older versions of these and love them. the switches are there to cut or boost frequencies to compensate for room acoustic adjustment. they probably have a cut and boost for both the high and low frequencies, mackies and others have this option. I have a question however. Is there a reason you have them angled away from your listening angle at your mixing station with the left one bouncing off what looks like a drywall wall? you need to angle them in and if needed use appropriate isolation foam especially if they are ported in the back such as the mackie's are... and also set them on foam...they have special foam available at sweetwater.com or dense carpet pad works great to set the moniters on the shelf with. If you know someone or have access to a room anylizer to set them as flat as possible that would help decide what you need to do to getter a truer mix. test run a mixdown on a home stereo and a car srtereo and if you like what you are hearing then you are good to go. sometimes if that still does not help getting a good final mix ...( using a room spectrum anylizer ) run a stereo eq before the input of the powered moniter to get the bugs out to get the flatest signal possible if you are having clean full mix issues. hope this helps. but like the others start them of if the flat range. But like any moniter no matter the brand, you will have to "learn them" ...with your ears when mixing as to what your mixes transfer like. if they tend to be bass heavy in your mix them cut them or know while mixing how much bass will end up translating too much ( likewise for high frequncies ) but once you do have an actual FLAT ranslation you should be fine...do not "color" those mixing moniters...hope this helps

I'm not even sure calling them blacks is cool.
Reminds me of South Park. "You can't say fag anymore....It's offensive to butt pirates."

The fact that the brand of these monitors isn't at all visible in this pics makes me think this is a joke.

Come on folks! If you can't tell that someone is pulling your leg, then you don't have a leg(to stand on) to be pulled! LOL! The first clue was the way the speakers were pointing. The second clue would be the name of the OP. If you feel like you've been had, you have! LOL! At least that's my opinion. LOL!

And for the really "White" people here: "Nigga" is acceptable in the right context. "******" is never acceptable. I don't use either anytime. And any white man that uses the term "nigga" when referring to anyone is a "Whigger"! And if you don't know what that is, look it up. The whole damn thing is laughable. In England they smoke "fags". Here in the US we hire them as interior decorators. LOL! Figure it out! LOL!

It's okay to type fuck, motherfuck, cocksuck, buttfuck, asshole, almost any word, but ******! LOL! Reminds me of an old WW2 saying:"The French, they are a funny race. They fight with their feet, and they fuck with their face! The company that owns this site is French and they've designed their software not to type ******! LOL! Richard Pryor would laugh his ass off about this! LOL! ******, ******, ******! LOL! This is a hoot! French censorship! LOL!
