Re: Need Some Really Good Speakers

I've not tried the Mackie studio monitors, but I quite like their PA speakers. To some extent it is a matter of taste - I don't much like Yamaha's, but I know people that love them. The best choice can also be influenced by the environment - my home studio is nowhere near big enough for the K+H O 50...

Re: Attempting to fix clipping on an album.

I've heard about the problem with this album, but I've not heard the album itself, so I've no idea how well this "restoration" will work. Basically, to do the equivalent of the suggestions but using Audacity: 1) Convert to 32 bit 2) Amplify by a negative amount (probably around -10dB) 3) S...

Re: Need Some Really Good Speakers

Mackie has the TRUEST sound Given the huge number of studio monitors, and the huge range in prices I would not personally be so bold as to say that one particular speaker provided the "truest" sound. "Klein & Hummel O 500C" monitors are the most accurate I have ever heard - ...

Re: Mixtape Label Challange!
