I use Adam A7’s with the ADAM Sub8 and of course a good transparent monitoring controller (New Old Sounds McOne).
I would warmly recommend this setup to every author as it sounds great, but most important is versatile, good for any type of music / audio related work.
I just bought my self a pair of Adam F7 as a slight (or not so slight?!) improvement to my Behringer Truth 2030A.
I knew it before, but now I am even more convinced how much of an important role the studio monitors play in producing/mixing/mastering process. I mean, they give you the whole picture of what you are doing, or you are comparing with while you are listening other people’s work.
The difference I see now with my upgrade is huge: I have cleaner more concrete sound and wide specter of frequency responses which gives me more precise picture of what I am doing and what I want to achieve with my songs.
So which studio monitors do you use and have you made a comparison in quality with your ‘ex’-pair of monitors?
My good 'ol Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones are primarily what I use for mixing They are a wicked-great set of cans and are excellent for accurate mixing with true, uncoloured sound.
I also use a conventional set of Logitech speakers to see how the average consumer might hear my tracks.
I bought ten years ago the Danish dynadio BM5A monitors. They are really precise the only thing I find the lack of low freqs. You can complete them with a subwoofer made by Dynaudio but I think it can get too expensive, so I normally do the mix with both speakers/headphones to get the low freqs reference.
I have the Yamaha MSP5 active monitors. I did use KRK Rokits for a while but moved to the Yamahas. The bass response and translation is much better than the Rokits.
