How to upgrade/optimize my setup?

Start with one solid hub. A usb audio interface with at least two mic pres and extra line inputs solves most of this. look at focusrite 4i4, motu m4, or audient id14 with an extra line input box. Install proper asio drivers. In ableton set 48k sample rate and a 128 buffer and your latency headache d

Compact setups and bright monitoring speakers, bright sound fatigueness

Inline eq would be the easiest and cheapest option. Bypass button is a must so you can swap back to flat without changing all your settings every time. The Yamaha tweeter is intentionally bright for mixing (producing not djing). It's meant to help you catch all the little details you might miss othe

Upgrade de audio para toca disco

Irmão economiza dinheiro e pega uma edifier mr5 ou então junta pra uma adav d3v ou logo uma Yamaha hs7, hs5 é um cocô, não vale o preço! E outra coisa, invista em tratamento acústico básico, com isso eu quero dizer, compre bons suportes pras caixas e use espuma embaixo delas, ou então coloque na par

Sound is provided by Yamaha HS5 monitors with a Yamaha sub, connected to a FocusRite Scarlett Solo. This is a really nice setup. Good job. Be sure the tweeter is pointed at your ears, actually point both at an imaginary point a foot behind your head, in a triangle shape, for improved stereo image.

Soon adding monitor stands, more acoustic treatment and Yamaha HS5

FWIW, you can do better than HS5's. All of the Yamaha's are rear ported, which means they want at least 1' of free space behind them, more if possible. Front ported monitors tend to work a lot better in small spaces.

Kali LP6 V2 not getting loud enough compared to Yamaha HS5 — need guidance

First, put both speakers in the exact same spot and feed the same balanced line. On the LP-6 V2, set the rear gain around 0 dB and make sure the input selector DIP is on XLR/TRS, not RCA. On the HS5, turn the level all the way up for this test; the center detent on many HS models is attenuated, so i

Bigger Soundstage

Do you use a subwoofer? Depending on the content,* the HS5 needs help with low bass; I doubt you need a bass trap. A spec of “frequency range to 54Hz” implies down -10dB could border on inaudible, per Fletcher-Munson, and likely have more than a target of 3% harmonic distortion, and aggravate multi-

Small room / desk against wall — which speakers/monitors should I buy?

Given your setup (desk against wall, ~10cm from the back wall), the speaker choice matters less than how they handle boundary proximity. Rear-ported monitors can get boomy fast that close to a wall. That’s why something like the JBL 305P MkII is actually a solid choice: they handle close-to-wall pla
