o.k....so now i'm up and running with the akai dps16. it in fact DOES have 16 individual channels of EQ, which can be run simultaneously and is purty darned cool....at any rate, i've come to the dramatic conclusion that a good pair of monitors are an absolute necessity for proper mixing.
OH YEAH? you might say...how did you ever come to that conclusion, drdrew? you must be some sort of genius!!! here we all have been mixing on headphones where everything sounds great and than playing our mixes on stereos where they sound like crap! Thank you, drdrew, thank you for teaching us that monitors are important!
no problemo. so, i go to ebay, where the devil lives, and makes me use my credit card.
i'm looking at event 20/20's...alesis M1's...and them thar KRK V8 thingies.... am i going in the right direction? I'd rather go for a powered monitor, and skip the amp if possible.
I know this is probably going to get a "matter of taste" type answer, but, i'd sure like to hear some opinions anyway. humor me. or not. just remember that we are all at different levels of experience here, so that's my excuse for my dumb questions.....
oh, one more thing. i read somewheres that buying a used condenser mike is a bad idea....due to fragility? true?
cause i'd sure rather pay the used price!
