Re: Expressive Osmose

Mine finally arrived today after a last minute hold up in Paris that prevented delivery before the weekend. Initial thoughts are similar. I like the keyboard, the onboard presets though did little to wow me. I've also got a Rise 49 (version 1) which whilst I've always liked it I've always found it f...

Re: Producer or mix engineer ?

I'm just finishing up a project with a friend of a friend - similar in nature. I've been given their demos and then I flesh them out / mix them as I see fit - submit back to the artist for comment and alterations. We both work full time and have families and it has taken of and on 14 months to get 8...

Re: Monitor upgrade from Adam A7X

i have to say that if I was buying now i'd probably be looking at the KH150/KH750 combo. After more pondering that's the conclusion I've come to. I do use Sonarworks and having spent some time moving my speakers around, measuring then moving them again I think some level of DSP processing is needed...

Re: Monitor upgrade from Adam A7X

To me, that implies something about liking (or more) the sound they produce. IMO it's accuracy that's paramount with any decent monitor, not whether/not they produce a pleasing sound. My interest in the KH310s really stemmed from seeing them described on various forums as boring but then noticing t...

Monitor upgrade from Adam A7X

My project studio measure approx 3m x 5.5m. It has some amount of room treatment on all walls and the ceiling from GIK. I’m currently using Adam A7Xs for my monitors which I’ve always liked but never loved I’ve got a budget of up to 3.5k to change my monitors. I’d initially been drawn to HEDD Type 2...

Re: Acoustic Treatment - what should I be aiming for

I think the thing to remember is that unless you're in a purpose-designed studio then it will always be a compromise. Don't lose time (and potentially money) chasing a theoretical flatline that's never really achievable. I think that in a nutshell is where I'm trying (or hoping I'm already at). to ...

I'd agree its much less fatiguing. I seem more inclined to monitor at sensible levels on speakers

Re: Acoustic Treatment - what should I be aiming for

I’m pleased with how the room sounds, it’s my preferred place to listen to music and after decades of largely headphone use it’s weaned me off those. I’ve toyed with moving the speakers up, and will do further experimentation. However it’s a bit like whack a mole. I slightly improve one area at the ...

Re: Mac Studio - any users here?

I too have one under my desk and can’t hear it from my listening position. If I get under the desk and put my ear close to it I can make out the fan noise. Mine is a Max and has been used daily for the last 6 months. I think now though if you don’t need over 32 gig ram then the M2 Pro mini is probab...

Re: Acoustic Treatment - what should I be aiming for

I’ve downloaded REW and intend to start getting to grips with it soon. Having seen how Sonarworks frequency response curves can vary when moving the speakers just a small amount, I feel I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole. At the start of this process I didn’t know that desk reflections were a thing, now...

Acoustic Treatment - what should I be aiming for

My music room is located in a converted garage. Room is rectangular but has bifold doors along one side. I use it to write synth based songs. The only recording of live audio is vocals. I mix the occasional song for various musical friends. I’m a hobbyist and harbour no ambitions to be anything othe...
