Hey all....Thanks for reading my thread! I appreciate it! Anyway....I have the Alesis M1 actives and listen to a lot of music on my computer, but when I use Nuendo/Cubase SX and mixdown my music It becomes such a guessing game cause my monitors do not mix well. I can rarely hear bass so usually after I think I have a good mix, I burn a disc and play it wherever I can, and the bass and highs are huge! I have learned to compensate, but it is still a crap shoot....I usually get it in about 4 mixes compared to 3 years ago when I got these and went through 12 mixes before finally just letting go and being happy with what I had.
I am an intern engineer(although not presently employed), and know now I will get new monitors this week! haha
I am thinking of these in particular:
Mackie HR828
KRK v-8 series 2
Event Studio Precision 8s
M-Audio BX8s
not the Behringer Truths(too much risk)!
Now I have to go to frickin guitar center and try to listen to some...I don't even know what they carry since I hate that place. I usually order everything online. But I have read many interesting posts regarding monitors on this site, but haven't heard too much about KRKs? I know they have that new Rocket line, but do these even come close to the v-8s?
I know I will have to spend some dow, but I hope not too much to get it so I can do a rough mix and be pretty happy with it? And I won't spend $2500 on some ADAMs to do it. I don't need monitors that make you music sound good...Just make it sound so you can hear the flaws, and ones that mix well!!! Bottom Line!
Thanks all....Lorde
