My Steven Slate VSX experience so far

First I listen on my Yamaha HS8’s. When I first got those monitors, I was blown away by the bass. After this journey, it’s clear to my ears they are near field monitors and only that. It’s also clear I need to treat my room. Since standing wave acoustic interference can create nodes (where lower, re

Speculating on Streaming Services 3000X

Actually most monitors are not meant to be placed sideways because it degrades the stereo image and creates inconsistent sound across the frequency spectrum.

Stepping out of the lurker closet

Yeah! This pic was when it started way before the fancy Focals… I did my album with those second hand yamaha HS8 because I prioritized acoustics and I didn’t buy the Focals until I felt completely comfortable in the room… It’s amazing the difference it makes I highly recommend this route because any

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

Upgrading to a more serious pair of monitors

The Yamahas are pretty good for what they are. I'm personally using Yamaha HS8 in a well treated room and will probably never upgrade. Except maybe to those Neumanns...

Best Studio Monitors?

I'm just here to say Amen to that. I got the Fluid Audio Image 2 in May and I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of these speakers. They just sound so good. Coming from Yamaha HS8 my mixes are translating absurdly much better. It's actually hard to understand how speakers can sound so good and a

Help Choosing Between Expensive Digital Piano and Expensive Workstation

Yamaha MODX m8, is an excellent digital piano, synth and workstation. I have a high end digital piano (Kawai CA901, and the difference isn’t THAT noticeable, it’s a little more tiring to play on the MODX). The MODX can work very nicely with something like Logic, but it’s also usable as a very portab
