I've been travelling a lot lately and spending time in hotel rooms,
Having done some recording when possible,
portable
digi 02 rack into my mac.
Then doing a rough mix using 4 different
headphones ( all cheapos )swapping between passes.This works
to a point where I try and find a happy medium and resonable sound

Since being in the market for a pair of monitors, I am beginning to assemble quite a list of simple-yet-important questions.

Hi.

I'm trying to get into music again... and I realized how crappy the quality of sound I get from my build in computer speakers. I was debating whether to buy a professional recording headphones like:

I have recently picked up a pair of Yamaha NS-10Ts. I got a great deal on them, compared to NS-10Ms or NS-10S’ anyways, and am looking for a bit more information on them. Searching through the forum, I found a post from someone in a similar situation and they were told that the NS-10T is the home audio version of the NS-10.

Looking for a pair of monitors for around $2-300 American. All I've been using is this and my mixes don't come out that great.

...usually sold individually and not in pairs? Don't you pretty much need two anyway?

I have tried all different types of connections and I get horrible noise when the laptop is plugged in. I have tried plugging up stuff all over the studio, putting them on power grids, and what not. Is there anyway to get around this problem. I figure the converter is creating some crazy feedback.

I use Pro Tools Digi003 for recording. I have my monitors plugged into the rack of the Digi003. I don't want to listen to music out of my terrible computer speakers. I want to listen to it out of my monitors.

Hi,
Upon several recommendations from this and other forums I bought a pair of Wharfdale 8.2 Diamond pro active monitor speakers.

Ive just plugged the power in, turned them on and without even plugging in a music cable yet I can hear a hiss (on 1/4 volume, which is quiet).

This is extremly frustrating, does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening?

Has anyone used this monitors. I wasn't able to find much information for these but I found them in a very good price. I used to mix on NS10 a lot. I'm mounting a small mixing/tracking room at home to do some of my ork and lo budget productions. Do you think this may ork?

I do mostly acoustical/jazz/fusion. Sometimes pop/rock too.

Do you think this will serve for a start.
