I was out shopping for some nearfield monitors and tried out a few different sets in the showroom. The units on display were as follows.
1. Behringer truths
2. Emes Pink series
3. Dynaudio
4. Roland
5. Yamaha NS
6. KRK V88's
7. Alesis M1

I found used JBL 4311 monitors. Could someone please tell me if they are really good studio monitors? How do they compare to NS-10s? Does mix on them translate well on all systems? Finally, how do I check if all the drivers are original?

Please help ASAP!

tnx

Hi all

A while ago there was a discussion about the NS1000 monitors.

I remembered a store in a town nearby that has a couple of Yamaha monitors. This store has kind of a weird owner.

The Yamaha speakers are there in a corner of that store for a very long time, at least twenty years and these are brand new speakers of 20-25 years old.

I'm pretty new to this site and recording in general, so please forgive my ignorance. Im also trying to do the best I can working with a pathetic budget. Up until now I have spent all my money on a hard track recorder, mixer, and mics and have just been monitoring with a cheap bookshelf stereo.

OK, I have near field monitors and head phones as my tools for mixing. For the most part I can get everything to sit well in the mix until I cut to CD and play my work on other systems.

The problems is I do not know how the bass levels will turn up on other systems. Is there a rule of thumb that might help at setting bass levels using near field monitors.

I want to know what do you think about the Mackie and the hafler monitors, which ones is better then the other

OK, I am a dumbass.

Help me understand near-field monitors. I am setting up a home studio (largely for recording our band.) I had planned on plugging my DAW into my harmon kardon amp and powering two JBL bookshelf speakers and two larger american acoustic speakers. My thought was that I would be able to a/b large and small speakers while mixing.

My Monitors (KRK V8's) are currently placed about 1.5 feet behind and 1 foot to the side of my computer monitors. They are on speaker stands and are right behind my desk right now. I was wondering if the speakers and the computer monitors should be in the same plane.

Hello

I'm wondering if anyone has used B&W 805s for tracking and mixing? Because these are HiFi loudspeakers, will mixes translate well? Has anyone used any of the Nautilus series with good results?

Thanks

Scott

Greetings all... I'm new to the forum, and hopefully will become a useful regular. Studied audio in college and although my day job lands me more in multimedia development, my love is still in the music, which is my side job. But enough about me!
