There's always lot's of discussion on the net about which monitors to use in your studio. Is X better than Y? What about NS10's? Should I use a sub woofer?
All valid questions, but the thing is most people don't listen to your mixes on any of this stuff.
Your most important monitoring device should be a small MONO aurotone speaker or something equivalent.
You can spot them in lot's of pictures of REAL recording studio's, that little box in the middle of the desk above the meter bridge.
A lot of mixing gets done with just this single speaker and here's why.......
- Mixing in mono gives you a very acurate perspective on your phase issues.
- Small, single driver speakers tell you a lot about what's happening in the mid frequencies.
- If you can get it sounding great on this it only get's better in stereo.
- In mono there is a lot less ear fatigue during the mixing process.
The sad thing is that the original Aurotone's are no longer manufactured.
The good news is that there is a very good replacement available and here it is....
Avantone mixcubes. Very classy, very good, NOT that expensive.
