I've been trying to pinpoint where the noises are coming from. I run all my gear through a Furman that is hooked through a UPS (to be extra anal) and the buzzes and hums got a little better but I still get sizzling. Not crackling, but sizzling.

Will hooking up something like a hum eliminator do the trick? I know it isn't a hum but could it be related?

Gear is:

Which monitors will help to translate a mix better? Alot of music is listened to on a hifi system (here hifi meaning a system that mimics an equal loudness contour), so I am assuming if you mix on a hifi, then the actual recording comes out 'flat' in a way.

Hello,

I am planning to buy monitors for my computer-based home studio. I found these two Monitor Speakers while browing.

I would like to know your views if anyone of you have ever tested these or using them.

hey everyone,
My band is looking to play the samples we have on our recordings during our live show. The only problem is. if the sample comes in mid song... we are playing so off time of the sample.

Ok I need a decent pair of monitors. Im in college so that means for the next 3 years i will be mixing in a bedroom probably no larger than 14x14 room.

Today i saw a used PAIR of krk 5's for $179! and they run $150 EACH online.

Will they be good for where ill be using them. These will be my first monitors by the way.

Thanks

I'm looking to buy some new monitors to replace my current setup. Currently I have the KRK5 Rockets and the Event 5's. I was looking at the JBL LSR 1428 speakers and at the moment I love them and they seem like they sound reliable. The price is a bit steep though ($1400 for pair) which got me wondering about when I want to expand to surround sound.

I am lookin' at buying a studio bundle and in them comes the M-Audio BX5a 70 Watt Active Studio Monitors.

I'd like to know if any of you have used these monitors or any of the other equipment in this package and what your thoughts were on them?

Is the package a good deal? Everything looks clean and sound and is definatley a step up from Cool Edit.

After it was brought up in this thread:

A few people asked me about the JBL monitors.

I've had them for about 2 weeks now and feel that I can begin to adequately judge them, so I'll give a quick run-down.

I'm looking into getting some monitors and I have listened to the HS80M's and liked how my CD sounded through them at the store. They seemed to be clear and the low end was pretty good.

What does everyone like about them/why should I purchase these?

What is everyone's complaint with them/is there any reason that I should not purchase these monitors?

Thanks!
