Can a reference monitor like Mackie or Bringer Truth be used to play-along with or are they strickly for monitoring pre-recorded music? Currently, I use a set of 15-inch EV-152 and a 200 watt amplifier at very low volume to play-along and record. I was looking to reduce the size and replace the amplifier using a aplified monitor setup. Thank you for your help.
Hope this is the right topic. Alan suggested that I start a public thread for this.
Does anyone have strong opinions regarding one or the other of these products?

Hi Folks,
Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but...
This may me a lot to ask but I would like to create a set of reference CDs for every type of music out there. In other words I want everybody's input on what they think are the absolutely best mastered CDs out there for a particular genre of music. Ex Rock, Metal, opera, classical, hip-hip etc. Thanks.
I found a great reference site for recording material. This may be old news to some of you, but I found it useful. The drums section was a big help, as I am now starting to get into Micing live drums, plus the links area is really good.
Stage managers/Producers,
I am setting up my new Hafler TRM 8s and I ran into a dilemma. I purchased some Omnistudio mounts for bottom mounting and attached the mounts to the wall. How high can I place these monitors? Can I put them above my head and then tilt them down and still get the same imaging as setting them flat? Any problems with sound this close to the wall (6-12")?
During a vocal recording today, I noticed the occasional click on the recording (similar to that created when a digital system can't quite cope or it's clocks are out of sync) about once every minute or so. After checking all of the clocks etc. I realised that it was coming from pre-ADC source (I saw one spike on the pre-amp during a take). The mic is a Manley valve Reference.
