What would you pick and why, Yamaha HS80m or the Mackie HR624?

I am shopping for my first set of real monitors that I will use mostly to mix folk/rock and roll. The room that I will use to mix is a 12x16 drywalled room that I have a few thin eggcrate mattress tacked to the walls, so pretty much not really soundproofed at all.

Hi, folks
a)Have you ever used the Dynaudio Bm6A, B5A or BM15 for mastering?
I am trying to grow from a modest setup and I do know that nice monitoring is pretty important for mastering tasks.

Ok I hope I'm not asking a stupid question but when Mackie claims that the SRM powered monitors are of "studio" quality are they kidding? Could those speakers actually be used to do basic tracking, and mixing? Cause at the same price as the Mackie studio monitors it sure would be sweet if one could use them for both stage and studio.

What would macgyver do?

Is there such an animal?

Not worried about nearfields... but looking for a good pair of midfields in the sub $5k range...

hey. I have just got a set of edirol MA 15D self powered monitors for my Alesis Multimix (firewire) mixer. in the manual for the multimix is says to connect the monitors to Control room out. I cannot do this because the only ways of connecting the monitors is either by using an rca cable from the outs of my mixer, to the ins (rca of my monitors).

hi all :)

I would like to buy a decent pair of stereo monitors for my home studio, the budget is set up to 350$: any advice? :)

thanks!

Hey everyone,

I just decided to start getting into recording, so I got a pair of Tascam VLX5's and an mBox2, but now I have a few questions.

- How do I add a sub to the Tascams?

- Can I use the mbox as a soundcard outside of Protools? I'd like to be able to say, watch a concert DVD and hear it through the moniters which are only hooked up to the mbox.

OK Boys and girls...

It's getting close to real decision time for new? monitors and amp(s)...

The control room is a non-environment 16x20x10h room.

Existing;
Alesis M1Active Nearfields
University M6 12" Dual Concentric w/QSC RMX850 (my BGW 500D took a dive)

Here's the choices I'm looking at;
adding: NS10's w/Bryston 2B or Hafler DH-200

HI there!...I own a pair of Yamaha Ns-40's...I do all of my tracking, mixing, mastering on them and I love them!
BUT the tracking with these babys realy isn't the real deal...I mean some times I go record in defrent studios and the way the tracking sounds in other places is amazing...I'm now thinking of buying a pair of monitors just for the tracking prosses!...any sugestions?

Hi. My monitors take line level input only. I'm trying to figure out what kind of cable I should get to connect it to my sound card. I know I'm going to need some kind of y cable which connects 1 stereo output to 2 mono inputs. My monitors take 1/4" and XLR inputs.
