HR824

Firstly, I’m sorry for your loss. I sincerely hope you’re able to make a home yourself for as much of this equipment as possible. The Mackie HR824 powered speakers, for example, are some of the best ever released in that price range — easy on the ears, bass is low and tight, plenty detailed enough.

Sure, I used to use a pair of Mackie HR824 MK1's as my main monitors for years as I knew them very well, they sounded great and have a great low end. I would almost always get the low end right on my first mix but the mid range didn't always translate well to other sources. It took more work then it

Lots of home recording here. Constantly recording projects and dance scores and voice work in my home studio. (an example, https://ongoingbox.bandcamp.com/album/hsob070-watererer-nearly-there) I use Reaper as the DAW. It's always been very cheap and very flexible. It works well with Dell computers t

Because that's the philosophy carried over from the NS10's. If you can get your mix to NOT sound like s*** on them, your mix will translate well to every other speaker. In reality, NS10's were a failed bookshelf speaker, and Yamaha ended up giving them away to studios all over the world. Producers u
