How far away is resonable to be from my Genalec 1031a's.
I had them behind the console about 5 or 6 feet from me on stands, 6' apart in a triange but moved them to my console top, now I really don't know what I'm hearing. They are in about a 40" triangle now. I know part is the acoustic's but I've "lost that lovin' feeling."

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 went to my local Sam Ash and Guitar Center stores this weekend to listen to nearfield monitors. I think I've narrowed down my choices to the Mackie 624, Tannoy Reveal, and the Event 20/20.

Hi all,
Advice please,
When I am listening to my mix thru my Yamaha MSP5s and I have a good sounding mix, I find that when I switch to any HI FI equipment thru their speakers it always sound to bassy or clonky espesialy in and around the 125hz, I have to cut the 125hz quite a bit to make it sound reasonable.

RO is putting together a new feature ... "Best Bang For The Buck DAWs". It's a basic guide, for newbies and intermediates, to help them put together the best DAW to fit their needs and budget.
We have it about 75% complete at this point, but need a little help with a couple of things. I thought that this forum would probably be the best place to get the help needed...

Hi,

i've seen some priced at 100 dollars each.
i've heard if you can make it sound good on crap then it can sound good on anything.
any suggestions on where to look first?

After looking at various monitors, I noticed that a pair of JBL mid-fields and the Mackie HR824 near-fields were about the same size. If I'm looking for my main set of monitors, should I be going with strictly mid-fields? Is most of the work being done in studios using near-fields? I did some searching on the web but didn't see an answer.

Thanks!

Comments, please! I may have the opportunity to pick up a pair to replace my very-long-in-the-tooth Alesis Monitor Ones. Trying to improve my monitoring on a really tight budget.
