I'm sure glad he left. Though it was entertaining to watch his arrogance shattered by a gang rape of HR regulars.

As long as you set your KRK's on fire with cool shit, all is good!
 
I dunno - I think that listening to a bunch of emulated monitors would make it harder to mix. I think you get a good pair of monitors you learn how they translate to the real world and you can mix better because you get familiar with your tools.

I own the KRK 6 G2's and I like them. Started with the 5's - Kid I think you will like th 5's when you get them and you will be better off with them than that emulator.

And I like them cause they have yellow speaker cones... :P

Actually, being a visual kinda guy myself, I like the yellow drivers a you can see how much you are driving the low end. I find that I can actually 'see' mud happening. Important to me. Someone else will probably call that stupid.
 
Has anyone else tried the VRM and finished mixes with them with positive results? I'd like to buy a decent set of monitors, but time, money, and space are not my allies in this one. I have a decent headphones that I've done a few rough mixes of some electronica/chillwave stuff with that turned out pretty good, but that's quite different from mixing actual recordings of real instruments and whatnot.
 
I found my KRK RPG2 5's on Craigslist for $60 more for the pair than the price of VRM.
 
Soo hope I don't get slated for this......I always found that it was ok mixing on headphones. I used to use a set Ixos DJ1001's which were designed by the company I used to work for. They had great detail for fine tuning problems in the mix. However I then had to master it on different sets of speakers to get that finished result that worked on all systems.

I always used to find my old Kenwood home hifi generic speakers were really easy to master on (Well as close to mastering as I got back then without paying for it to be done!) But that being said it was probably because I was very familiar with them.

I still haven't bought a proper set of monitors. I now use a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze B1's of a Old Denon 2-channel amp, and am very comfortable using that for all my mixing.

So what I think I'm saying is, it matters not what your tools are, just how familiar you are with them and how they work in comparison. Learn to use what is available. Master that step and you'll excel as your equipment is upgraded.

I'm one of the long time memebers and a full time pro player and I mix with cans all the time.
Me and mostly everyone else here have disagreed about this many times! :D

To me it requires that you have a first rate headphone rig .... a good headphone amp and flat cans.
I'd get one of those VRMs in a second but I don't record on a 'puter and I'm not seeing that it has a simplr analog input so it won't do for me.
Good monitors are the best way to go and I'm not saying otherwise.
But the many that say it's impossible to mix with cans are going a bit too far IMO.
