Hey All,

I was working on a rhythm track mix on headphones (Shure 840s), and I thought it sounded pretty good. Then I fired up my Yamaha NS-10s pushed by a QVC power amp.

Woah! What a difference!... I fine-tuned the mix on the NS-10s, and then put the phones back on.

Amazing! The old adage "If you can make a mix sound good on NS-10s, they'll sound good on any speaker" is true!

I was ready to sell my Yamahas (circa 1985), but no longer. They are fantastic for mixing, especially the lower and upper midrange. I'll never sell those babies!

Cheers,

Ern

Are you an NS-10 tissue user?

No, never! I DID use a Marantz premap as an EQ on them, though... People who say they sound horrible: You're RIGHT! Man, I can't listen to others' music on NS-10s. Yuk. But they aren't made for that.

I've always seen them straight from a Crown D75 right next to a set of Auratones. That was the standard accompaniment for the Urie Time Align big monitors when I worked the NYC Studios.

But your right, make it sound good on those and it will sound good on everything!

Speaking of tissues, I remember that one of the big trade magazines, Mix magazine????, actually did an acoustic study on various brands of tissue. That was years ago and I think it was more tongue in cheek although they scientifically went through every brand of tissue on the market.

I wish they still made them!
