Mixing/Mastering In untreated room.

[djdarwin]

Hey Everybody,

This is my first post. I just had several questions regarding Mixing/Mastering and creating that "hot" final product.

I have been mixing my tracks using headphones for about 18 months now as I mastered the learning curves assosiated with midi sequencing, reason and protools. Now that i have some experience i am ready to take my mixes to the next level. I am currently in the market for a pair of monitors for under 500. I would be working (recording, mixing and post production) in an untreated 10X12X8 foot bedroom. Would the KRK RP6's be a good pair for a room this size?

If the room is untreated (no bass traps or frequency absorbing foam) is the investment in monitors even worth it? Paying good money for a flat response makes a lot of sense but not if the room your working with distorts you results right?

Is it important to get the isolation pads for your monitors? Why?

I hear people talk about wall mounts. Does this help and how is it properly done?



Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.

You are learning well grasshopper. Take enough money from your speaker budget to buy a bale of 703 fiberglass and some fabric. That should still leave you enough for some acceptable speakers.
