I'm back and still in the process of choosing the appropriate monitors.
I'm also busy recording......(and again Focusrite rocks!)
so posting my demo will be postponed after the mastering of the tracks......
that should be done on the Mackie MR8.....yes ladies and gents we finally have a winner.
But again the question is why!?
let's clear it in bullet points
- budget: <450 Euro
- brand (would you buy a crap brand?)
- range (we will speak about that next)
- flexibility
Good
I think budget and brand are clear but let's speak about range:
let's speak about Hertz.......
In my vision in order to be able to mix properly a track we need to
be able to recognize any trash coming from our recording in between the human audible frequencies......
that are:
Frequency:
- level spikes (decibel spikes can occur at frequencies outside the reproducing capabilities of small and hi-fi speakers and then filtering inside the final mix unwanted with obvious consequences)
- bass level (bass is important need to be in the right amount and tight; otherwise you will create a muddy mix....that's why we need at least an 8" driver in our boxes.....)
- eliminating unwanted noises
Bass guitar (normally the instrument with the lower tuning......)
