You sure youre getting an accurate mix with those Krks? I’m Not knocking your talent I’m just saying. I produce music and I started with Krks, they don’t accurately depict the low end frequencies. It’s mostly mid end and flat/pitchy high end. Yamaha HS8’s would give you a more accurate mix, Unless y

focusrite speakers

Yamaha HS5’s are within budget and a nice sounding set of monitors. If he wants to later on, he could also add the matching Yamaha sub to them for more bass. I use their bigger brothers l, the HS8. Whilst neither the HS8 or HS5 is truly a ‘reference’ speaker (a speaker with a very flat response curv

Tipps for Yamaha hs8

Yamaha HS** speakers are great! But they don't sound good or conventional. They are like the RAW file from a camera. So flat that they sound "bad" compared to a desktop speaker.

Can studio monitors still be enjoyable in an untreated room if mixing accuracy isn’t the primary goal? Looking for immersion and fun.

Help. I’m drowning in home amp paralysis by analysis.

My set up for the past 10 years has been digital floor board > mixer > Yamaha HS8 monitors. I've sold my tube amps and cabs and don't miss them. The reason for the mixer is that I don't need to boot a computer to play my guitars through the monitors. The spekers and the mixer can be turned on with o

Thoughts on pro audio interfaces as DACs

Yep, I use a Focusrite 8i6 gen 3 with Yamaha HS8 monitors and the HS8S subwoofer on my PC with AIMP as my music player and Reason 13 as my DAW. 24/192 is no sweat and it all sounds awesome!

Headphone recommendations for showing artists final mixes?

Studio monitors man. I am a Yamaha HS8 guy. They can play a mix in their car where they have their ears tuned.
