So – I do my own engineering production and mastering because I’m cheap that way. I’ve been mixing on my headphones mostly – they are Spadger CD-990 headphones made with mastering in mind (flat response – inexpensive but well designed/made). I’ve also checked mixes on my old Polk Audio 7 series monitor speakers which are pretty damn good as well. But I wanted some Yamaha HS8’s which were too expensive. And then I fell into the Avantone Mixcube rabbit hole – which I still want one. But I needed a set of monitors so I could actually hear the sounds I spend a lot of time on. Hell I only just figured out what “Attack” and “Release” do – I want to hear that shit! Look up “transients”.
So I eBayed myself some good vintage (90’s) Acoustic Research speakers and a good amp. Man I am enjoying being able to hear shit with a little air around it instead of right into my earphones. Under 2 bones – delivered.
