I doubt that the Dre’s were flat. I believe Beat would lose sales for recreational consumers. I have been confirming my mixes with AirPod Pros. I was was surprised when the wired AirPods exposed high bass levels after monitoring with Sennheisers. You may like the Air Pod Pros. I do recommend HS3 or

MY CURRENT MIX: Please give constructive criticism!

I recommend that try to kick up about $230.00 and get a pair of the Yamaha HS3 of HS4 ($245.00). Guitar Center current have used for $165.). Don’t let these little speakers fool you. They can get pretty loud if needed. Loudness is not what you need to achieve a good mix especially if your room isn’t

Can i use a subwoofer with a guitar amplifier?

i think a lot of people are missing that you're using this system for playback, casual music listening. no it's not going to sound great or full range, but yeah i mean you can connect things up and it will all make sound personally tho since it's the holiday season i'd just look around for whatever

Why do my vocals always sound too crisp/bright in the mix?

You were better off getting monitors first. It’s going to take time to learn your headphones. Head phones are good for portability, prevent disturbance and as an additional to monitor. For the money I recommend Yamaha HS3 or HS4. These little monitors will surprise you. I got them because I felt the

Music production begginer

It’s best to invest in monitors. You can use your headphones for writing, creating, recording and setup a mix. Your headphones are sonically enhanced to sell especially at the low frequency end. Chances are when monitoring with them the mix may sound thin due to translation of the low mid & bass fre

Trash or no?

I have tested Yamaha HS3 & HS4. Don’t let these little speakers fool you. I got them because I use to have the legendary NS10s. All the major has studios has them to this day. There no longer available. I didn’t like them because they lacked bass. I would have visually look at the woofer’s movement

Are studio monitors bad for casual listening?

I got Yamaha HS3 with HS8S sub in my living room, and with some EQ it's a great sounding system for the price (considering that I got the sub cheap half a life ago.)

Subwoofer recommendacíõns

To be honest the Presonus Eris BT subwoofer is excellent for the price. I have a little “portable setup” that is running Yamaha HS3’s and I needed way more low end. I didn’t want to spent much for yet another subwoofer just for this little travel rig. So I gave the Presonus a try. It’s actually mind

Editors, What kind of speakers are you using to mix audio with.

Yamaha HS3's and then paired with a Yamaha HS8S with a Presonus Micro Station that acts as a sub bypass so I can monitor with and without the sub. The HS3s lack in lower ranges
