How/what do YOU monitor your audio with?
Posted by Adam Schmidt on April 23, 2005 at 5:17 amHey all,
How do you listen to your sounds for your masters?Reference speakers like Tannoy or JBL 4400s?
Tv speakers?
Headphones?
That speaker built into your mac?I like my jbl 6328 5.1 setup (as I come from a recording/cinema background) but what do all you use?

In my opinion.

April 23, 2005 at 6:09 pmGenelec 1030a’s with subwoof. Yamaha D1000 console. I use 2 old Fostex self-amped speakers to simulate a less than perfect home moniotring setup. This is also very representative of monitoring on a laptop with small speakers – how many of my clients listen to DVDs.

Tannoy Active’s fed through a Mackie 1402 VLZpro mixer, coming from the Cinewave SD BOB.
Pretty solid overall, and really helps hear things not heard on ‘consumer’ speakers.

April 23, 2005 at 8:49 pmHi all:
Genelec 1029As with the Genelec 7060 sub all ran through a Mackie 1402 VLZ board.
Bought the Genelecs about 8 years ago when they first came out and have loved them ever since. I know them inside out and they “translate” mixes pretty well.
Best,
Dan
