Re: New 5" monitor recommendations

Hi mate, never heard them but they do look the business with that red cone! I'd get down your local music shop and audition some if you are considering buying some. Good luck.

Re: New 5" monitor recommendations

Got the HS8's. Was a little worried because the room I'm working in is really small but I definitely made the right choice. Bass from my Alp5's was really boomy but from the HS8's on a pair of Adam Hall isolation pads is so much more controlled, punchy and way, way deeper - I'm producing liquid DnB ...

Re: New 5" monitor recommendations

So first I listened to the sounds in this set of monitor reviews (using 2 sets of headphones and my ALP5's) after reading about the way they set the review up (sorry can't find the original article but it was logical and sensible).. https://soundcloud.com/sonic-sense-pro-audio/sets/studio-monitors a...

Re: New 5" monitor recommendations

Cheers Guys, I was thinking of spending between 200-300 pounds so the HS5's look like a good bet. I managed to "fix" my APL-5's by unplugging them and swapping the side of the desk they are on and in doing so I think the connections inside must have had a bit of a shake up (I was planning to get ins...

Re: New 5" monitor recommendations

Cheers mate those Yamaha's are definitely on my list. Had to work really hard to make stuff from the ALP5's translate to other systems so the HS5's could be right up my street!

Nice one

New 5" monitor recommendations

Looks like My ALP5's may be crapping out on me just in time for me to ask Santa for suitable replacements/upgrades.

Any suggestions from you cool people out there? I have a small space (hence the 5" thing) and produce a little bit of Liquid DnB but mostly deep vocal house.

Cheers

Re: Balance interference

Have had some wicked groundloop problems with a Balance. Sounds like space aliens invading force but usually only at a very low level. Went from using laptop to desktop which was an improvement but if it is groundloop problems it pays to read up on measures you can take that will reduce or remove it.

Balance Win 10 - Your Audio Driver Has Stopped Working

Anyone else seeing this lately? Wondering if it's software and related to a Windows update. Getting a bit sick of it tbh so if nobody else is seeing this you may want to stand outside my house and wait for a small black box to come flying out the window if you fancy snagging a free Balance!

Re: Balance audio interface.

I have to unplug and plug it back into my Mac because it loses its connection but other than that it's fine. Could also be my Mac is getting old and needs to be changed. I did wonder why Props was promoting the Focusrite interfaces but it's really good depending which series you get. Other than tha...

Re: About to Buy Logic, Please Talk Me into Reason 9 Instead

If money was an issue I'd say you would be better served cutting your teeth on something like Reason Essentials or Cubase Elements, by the sound of what you need and the fact you're new to DAW's these options should give you everything you need and more. But If by vocal processing you mean Melodyne-...

Bummer! Shift and scroll wheel is fine but it was a kinda nice graphical clue especially if you have a lot of tracks which I frequently do.

Cheers for the replies guys, upgraded to win 10 and Balance working absolutely fine.

Apologies if there's another thread for this - I did search for it but couldn't find anything...

Re: Kong to SSL Routing - changing my method

Am I missing a trick with Kong in that every time I audition a new drum sound it defaults back to the master output - drives me nuts and would be well happy to be missing something obvious!
