Not being funny or anything, but how can you tell how good of a mix you have with no monitors? :shock: Is there a new trend going on that I don't know about? I'm sorry, but you do at least have headphones I hope. I think monitors should be one of the first things purchased when setting up a personal studio. I remember being at this stage in my gear purchases, it was a hell of an learning experience I might say. I thought I was king of the world and nobody could touch me...lol. Anyhow keep at it, and you'll get there one day my friend.

^^ Yeah, I monitor with a higher end pioneer surround sound receiver, the problem with this is that the speakers that I chose for my surround sound set-up are not meant for monitoring. To work out my monitoring situation I bounce back and forth between a pair of SonyMDR-V700's and the surround sound speakers(In stereo not surround).

In a few weeks I'll buy a decent pair of monitors to run off the speakers B outputs on my receiver.

Thanks for the input though. :D

Something interesting I found on the red bull music academy website.

The producer is Mathew Jonson

But if you mix on a crappy pair of speakers like NS10’s for instance? The reason why those things are the standard for mixing on is because they sound like shit. They sound like a car radio. And that’s because, if you make something sound good on a pair of those things, it’s going to sound good anywhere. My brother has made so many tracks that are so awesome, and his mixes are actually ten times better than mine. That mix that you just heard isn’t mastered, it’s all boomy in the bottom, there’s no low cut that’s been put on it and there’s no compression at all, there’s all sorts of stuff that mastering will help bring out. All those little fine points. That’s something a mastering engineer can do, you don’t really need to worry about doing that so much yourself. But he was mixing his tracks on a ghettoblaster, a Sony ghettoblaster with drivers this big, and he mixed track after track after track on this thing. And I’d always be like: ”Nathan, get your shit together. You’re spending all this money on gear but you’re mixing on a ghettoblaster.“ And he’d take his mixes from that ghettoblaster to like big clubs, with full range sound, and his mixes sound way better than mine do. Because he’s just mixing on a pair of crappy speakers. You don’t need expensive monitors.
