I decided to upgrade my home-recording studio a bit, so I sold my soundcard,
studio monitors and my GT-10 (which is still on sale)

I went down to my favourite local shop and bought:

1. http://www.event1.com/products/tr6.html



Let me tell you, these are awesome! I've tried out a pair before and fell in love with them,
so I decided to go get 'em

The sound is very alike my AKG K271 Studio headset, which is a good thing as I can now switch
between headphones and monitors and keep the same sound throughout the mix
The monitors got more "ooomph" though


2. http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/hardware/mr816csx.html



This one cost a fortune
Looks awesome, sounds awesome and is fully integrated with Cubase.
Great onboard effects and Eight discrete Class A analogue ‘D-Pre’ mic preamps
with combination XLR and TRS analog inputs with advanced new inverted Darlington circuits,
hardware gain knob, phantom power and -26dB Pad switch per channel.

Do you think I'm looking forward to recording with it?



3. I've also ordered the http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/hardware/cc121.html



Just read more about it by clicking the link
It gives you totally integrated tactile control of Steinberg’s Cubase range of production systems.
With motorized fader etc.

Gonna be fun, and make my work easier




I'm also gonna buy a Tube Microphone Preamp, a TC electronic
or a Lexicon effect system for my rack, but this will have to wait till after Christmas


Thanks for reading, have fun guys

And very much like the AKG's..

You should get them if you're planning on buying some studiomonitors


Thanks mate

Yeah, it's pretty good..
Glad I've bought/ordered it



I can post some (actually I already have ), or I could e-mail you some songs.
Just PM me your e-mail adress



Hehehe, it doesn't pay that well
I just plan well

Ok ok ok, it pays good but not out of the ordinary..

Merry christmas

I own exactly the same. Been using for a year or so. No big problem, a little hiss noise sometimes, and we have to admit they are not exactly the perfect reference but they sure are awesome.

Congrats mate!!!

Posted by: audiopaal Dec 14 2008, 02:09 PM

Thanks mate





I don't have a hiss problem so far, and neither does a friend of mine using the same
Of course, there are better reference monitors out there. But not for the price in my opinion.
And they resemble the sound in my headphones so much, they're a dream to mix tracks with
The sound in my AKG's are a pretty good reference, and if they sound like that they're good enough for me

Thanks mate

That is really awesome gear Audiopaal great&wise choice. The rack and controller are my favorites as well since I'm a Steinberg user as well. I really really expect some reviews after you play around with them a bit
