I'm going to be purchasing a Tascam us 144 in a couple days and i want to know what kind of speakers would be best for under like £80 or so, I'm a beginner at recording so I'm just looking for a good set, dont really know what to look for

all replies are appreciated

I am currently looking to upgrade the way I mix music. Currently, I have a fast track ultra and I'm just using a pair of 50$ monitor headphones. I have done test recordings of 16 bit, 44.1 Khz vs. 24 bit 96 khz recordings, and I cannot hear a shred of difference. (I know my fast track ultra is capable of recording that bit rate). So I'm thinking it's the fact that I use crappy headphones.

I've got this problem, but I don't think it is my monitors, I think that it could be me or possibly monitor placement/room treatment or lack thereof. I can hear slight EQ changes throughout a good portion of the frequency range quite easily. I can also detect small changes in level balance quite easily in a mix situation.

I am in a 5 piece band and we all sing so everyone wants a monitor on stage. Can I power 5 monitors with one amplifier? Most amps have only 2 outputs so is chaining 3 speakers on one channel okay?

Thanks.

Hi, I am considering to get floor monitors for practice space to have a full mix in them (except for drums) How powerful do they need to be?
We have full stacks with VHT tube power amps for guitars and ampeg 810 for bass. We run vocals through Peavey Black widow 15" speakers with 1400w Power amp bridged to mono working at a full power.

Hi again,

After my purchase of my UX1 I am need of some cheap monitors for Christmas to double as speakers for my laptop. I will need to arrange my Christmas list soon as they will be on it! My UX1 has two Analogue outs L/R and I do have a JACK to RCA cable that can be used if needbe. Yes it is a dual cable with separate Left and Right cables.

Hey there. I have been looking to get ny first pair of monitors for about a month now and I have been looking at the Alesis M1 Active mkII's the whole time because that is what my Sweetwater rep was recommending. Since then I have found 3 other pairs that I seen to like. I am mixing rock and metal.

I was just curious. Does anyone here mix a little in regular computer monitors before going on to refine in studio monitors?

Has anyone Tried these headphones? Tape op had an advertisement for them and the big shots seem to like them a lot. Any thoughts or Review would be great. For as inexpensive as they are they could be a great investment for starters like myself on a low budget. :wave:

Hello, I am about to purchase a complete studio monitoring system consisting of a pair of KRK RP6 G2 or RP8 G2 studio monitors with the KRK 10S subwoofer. The question at hand is: should I go with the RP6 or RP8 pair? What are the advantages of each in this setup? Any comments on 6" vs. 8" monitors, in general? And their use with a subwoofer system, in general?
