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

Finally got an Aeron for my Mac Setup

Yeah these are the Yamaha hs3. The smallest in the lineup. I started with 8’s then had 5’s and now the 3’s which save so much desk space and still sound really good. You could definitely still use them for hobbyist music production or for demo work.

Smallest table top monitors you can buy?

Yes there are small monitors but you will want a subwoofer to go with them (you can put it under the desk). For example, a pair of Yamaha HS3 or HS4 with an HS8S subwoofer.

Need help deciding on a monitor

If your going for looks I can’t say much. If your wanting the best experience Get a interface and studio monitors. On budget get Mackie cr3’s. If you got it, get KRK 3.5’s or Yamaha HS3’s (guessing but you can possibly get 5 Inch subs on both sides so it would be CR5’s, KRK 5’s or HS5’s) I personall

Trash or no?

Get someone to get you the Yamaha HS3 or the HS4 for Christmas. For around $230.00 you get 2 speakers. Don’t let the size & the price of these speakers fool you. Trust me your mixes will sound better. I have purchased these speakers so I could hear the low mids to the high frequencies. Bigger speake

What else can I do?

What head phones are they and how long it took you to know them especially for the kick & bass? I have KRK monitors with a subwoofer and I just picked up the Yamaha HS3. The HS3 are impressive for the price. I prefer mixing with headphones but there’s always something slightly off. I have learned th
