Guest Man from space Posted November 18, 2001 Posted November 18, 2001 Why is it sooo important to have good speakers??and why is it so important to have a good mixer when you are only working with Audio.. Please don't laugh i am pretty stupid when it comes to technical stuff... Quote
Guest Elysium Project Posted November 18, 2001 Posted November 18, 2001 Because a good set of speakers and a good mixer will come closest to the "real"sound. If you mix your music in your headphones or a bad set of speakers and or mixer you will properly experience a completely different sound picture once you play your music on a normal Hi-Fi stereo or in a party.

Guest Amanita Muscaria Posted November 18, 2001 Posted November 18, 2001 What about if I use "a normal Hi-Fi stereo" when making music? another stupid question, I think Quote
Guest Spiralix Posted November 18, 2001 Posted November 18, 2001 A usual hifi stereo often has alot more bass... And will give you a false sound. When you mix you should hace as straight hi, low ,mid level.. Quote
Guest Elysium Project Posted November 18, 2001 Posted November 18, 2001 yeah that's right...you need those clean monitors so your music will sound good everywhere.... If you try to use your hi-fi as your studio speakers you will not end up with a good result.... Quote
Guest Cujo Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 yea, the monitors and the mixer are the last links in your setup. so they are also the weakest links, so the monitors, are the most important part of the setup. you can if you make 100% with audio, run directly from the output to the amp, but if you run more than 1 output and need a mixer,then a good mixer, without too much color in the sound and too much noise would be the best. but listen to kristian/elysium, when it comes to studio setups he is a guru, so i heard so i feel,,, so just ask him! cya /C Quote
Guest Elysium Project Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 Guru :-) ...naaaaahhhhh .... But experienced.... Quote
Guest Man from space Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 what mixer is good?enlight us and which speakers?? Quote
Guest Elysium Project Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 A mixer such as Mackie (ok quality and not too expensive) or a used Soundcraft are good. http://www.mackie.com http://www.spirit-by-soundcraft.co.uk Monitors: Genelec (for those that can afford it) http://www.genelec.com Mackie also make some quite nice low cost montors and Yamaha has some ok too. http://www.yamaha.com/cgi-win/webcgi.exe/gPWS00008 Quote
shpongled Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 Elysium... so you have Genelecs? Which model and how much they are? How low should a frequency response go? Quote
Guest Elysium Project Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 I am using my new 1038A three way monitors..... I think the price is about 1000 - 1400 $. not really sure....My monitors are demo models.. so I got them cheaper. Got no idea about the frequency.... I am not that technical skilled....I play it by my ears..... Quote
shpongled Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 Thanks for info... I found Finnish dealer... and 1031A two way monitors are about 1100$... that's propably most I would pay for monitors. Quote
Guest trancer Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 is this a good price? genelec 1030 for about 900$ ? and the genelec 1032 for 2000$?? which should i buy?? both are used very little, they are almost new... Help me Kristian BOM! Quote
Guest trancer Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 Or should a buy something else? my studio contains of Roland JP-8000 Roland JD-800 Roland Alpha Juno 1 Akai S-2000 (sampler) Mixer Stageline MMX-122 (will buy a new one) Zoom RFX 1000 Running a Mac with Logic Platinum and Pro-52... And in the future i will get my self a nordlead or a waldorf Q Are the speakers still gonna make their job? HELP ME Quote
Guest Elysium Project Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 Go for the 1030A...They are very nice...... The price is ok but could be a bit cheaper if they are used....but not a bad price.... Quote
Guest trancer Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 they guy which sells them say that they are brand new but still they are used a week or 2...anyway thank you for the tip i will buy them this week then..i hope )) BOM! Quote
Guest Elysium Project Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 I just checked the price on the 1032A (normal price in $.1200) and if the are only used for 2 weeks then the price is cool... Quote
Guest trancer Posted November 20, 2001 Posted November 20, 2001 you mean t´he 1030A don't you?not the 1032A? Quote
shpongled Posted November 20, 2001 Posted November 20, 2001 I think 2000$ is way too much for 1032A... I checked the price in Finland and it's about 1400$... and you say they are used... so watch out... this guy might be fooling you. Quote
Guest Elysium Project Posted November 20, 2001 Posted November 20, 2001 Yes Trancer my mistake 1030 A it is :-) Quote
Guest trancer Posted November 20, 2001 Posted November 20, 2001 cool..i just called the guy and they are sold..so i guess i will go to the store and get me a pair a new pair of 1030A..anyway thank you alot Kristian and the rest of the guys here...
