for a newbie project studio

I'm deciding on the m audio bx8a's or the KRK Rokit Powered 6, any ideas?

Hi,
Would appreciate a little advice please.

I currently use an old cheap pair of speakers for monitoring and I'm looking to upgrade. I really dont have much cash though, around £200.

Could anyone advise on some monitor speakers for that price please?

This subject came up in another thread so I thought I'd get an experts take on it.

Hello. Question. I currently have a MOTU 2408 going straight to my Alesis M1 actives. I have a DM-4800 as the front end to my DAW going digtally into the 2408 via 3 lightpipe cables. If I want to just fire up a keyboard and play it in my studio, I have to fire up everything, open a Cubase project, set a track to monitor, blah blah blah. A major pain and inspiration killer.

A good tracking monitor must be a big monitor?
maybe a good quality PA speaker?
What monitor works best for tracking?
8" minimum studio monitors ?
smaller studio monitors with sub?
big PA speakers ?

Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone of you have had the chance to audition a pair of these. They seem pretty new, and I've not seen a review/opinion that wasn't from Eden or an endorser. It looks like a hell of a deal for a nice sounding pair of powered speakers regardless of how accurate they are for mixing.

Hello, new here and been finding lots of great info but I have something a bit specific. I make electronic music as well as urban beats with the goal to hit hard on the club dancefloors. Currently I hate using my M-Audio BX8a's (which I bought on a whim) in an naturally ok sounding small room (carpets, drop ceiling, tons of curtains). Please help me decide on the monitoring setup.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a decent pair of studio monitors for some home recording. Are there any budget options that would help my setup sound good?

I'm using Tracktion 3 for my DAW and have an M-Audio ProFire 610.

I'm mainly recording electric guitar out of my amp and I will be adding more tracks with live instruments and some software synths.

So I bought 2 HS80m ... First ampboard fried 6 months ago! Fixed it ($230) now the other one failed! Crap!

I don't know what a f*** to do now. I will probably go and buy KRK rp5(open box 235). And save money to fix Yamaha to sell them.

Are KRK rp5 get the job done? I am afraid that I used to 8" woofer now and will f*** up low end. What do you think?
