Quote:Quote:I've got multiple pairs of monitors I'm using.Me too, Ibanez. I've got a pair of powered KRK V6s which I like pretty well, BUT when I really want a mix to translate to the outside world, I still go to my vintage Yamaha NS-10Ms powered by an old Marantz amp. The midrange is so accurate, but their claim that they go down to 50 hz or so is b.s. I turn on some customized 3-ways with 15" woofers to check the bottom end. The two together work really well for me. --- After I get the mix sounding pretty close, I turn on a pair of "home" audiophile Definitive Technology speakers and listen to those; my Sennheiser headphones; the car stereo; and my home system with Polk Monitor 40's (which are REAL nice for the $) with a subwoofer and 4 Bose cubes. Then I might play the mix through my Bose Wave bedroom "clock radio," which has LOTS of bottom end --- don't know how Dr. Bose does it. It does have an "AM radio" setting which rolls off some of the lows. If the bottom is too muddy, I'll go back to the studio and tweak some more. --- Whew! There, ya have all my secrets! Ern Too funny Dude.... still mixing on the home speakers (Bose) but my mix routine is Alesis headphones/stereo to get the mix.... then I check it on the computer speakers (Gateway), the clock radio.... the surround sound system in the living room but the deal breakers are the cars... gotta sound good in both cars or I can't bless the mix....

for what it is worth, I have Adam A7s and should of bought them a LONG LONG time ago! It has bypassed my "car check" and now if it sounds good on the A7s, it sounds good.(which is nice in the winter...I don't have to go out in the cold and check out my mix in the car!)

Quote:I went to EMU: )Ha! I lived just outside of Ypsilanti in a "band house" when I was a young buck. I really like the Ann Arbor area, too.One of the BEST concerts I've ever seen was "YES" at EMU at the stadium outside. (What year it was, I can't remember because someone gave me a, er, little pill before the concert). God, were they amazing! Plus the light show and staging was the best I've ever seen, before or since. Maybe that was because of my state-of-mind that night , but I'll never forget the incredible musicianship. Patrick Moraz was on keyboards, and he just smoked Wakeman on his solos. What a show!Ern
