Lots of good info flying around here, and a killer setup too (I didn't have a table for my setup for a long time too haha).

I"d say SCARLETT. I hope this is ok, since I think you mentioned buying the EMU? The Scarlett has really nice specs for the price and a bit better mic preamps imho.
Todd QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jun 1 2013, 06:20 AM)  Guys, what would you choose between: http://www.thomann.de/ro/emu_0404_usb.htm and http://www.thomann.de/ro/focusrite_scarlet...5a1f56596999528 YUP!!! Almost any smaller near fields (5 inch, 6 inch, woofer especially) really do need a subwoofer. Otherwise you are just guessing about the bass. The result is usually overbassy mixes. Many folks, new to home recording, often think that home stereo speakers that "sound good" will work well for mixing. Sadly, these speakers are typically not good for mixing since they exaggerate the bass/treble. However, sometimes there is no other choice. If the budget does not permit good speakers, then you have to work with what you've got. Todd QUOTE (deeaa @ Jun 2 2013, 03:54 PM) The fives definitely need a subwoofer. The ROKIT 5 speakers are a great choice IMHO!!! For the price they are hard to beat. I"ve got the ROKIT 6 and I really like them. They have served me really well. I did have to add a subwoofer and that's not cheap as you know. But once I did, I could actually here what was going on in the bottom of the mix. Without the sub, it's pure guesswork. HEadphones will give you some clues, but it's not quite the same. I have an unmatched sub from a generic builder. I want the matched KRK sub but it's a bit pricey. I've got my eye out for one  Todd QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ May 27 2013, 03:02 AM) Nice article man! Well, at this point, I decided to upgrade a bit and get the KRK Rokit 5 monitors and this audio interface: http://www.thomann.de/gb/emu_0404_usb.htm If anybody has any experience with it, I'd be grateful for some info I worked with the 0402 and it is a very reliable device. |

Just to add My Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 just worked when I plugged in. They said to download drivers but it worked without them too, which is awesome. I had a lot of issues with Pro Tools, having to stick that thing and then needed to install drivers etc and with no firewire 400 port, it just got difficult. Its all personal choice afterall and you get used to things you have. I wanted to buy a USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt interface since thats the future but not many are there and they are over 3000 bucks.
 I am also after good design, afterall I am a designer. If you need lesser inputs, this looks good too: http://global.focusrite.com/usb-audio-inte...s/scarlett-18i8 or http://global.focusrite.com/usb-audio-inte...es/scarlett-2i2

QUOTE (deeaa @ Jun 5 2013, 04:10 AM) Behringer 2030 is Genelec 1030 copy. Yep. A lot of Behringer stuff is a close copy of other gear. This probably helps explain why Behringer stuff is cheap as they probably have low R&D. Another reason though is that the build quality of Behringer can be a bit hit and miss, you can strike lucky and get a good one but often they go wrong. If you can Cosmin you need to physically check the monitors out just to make sure the build quality and also that the speaker cones are ok etc. (This is true of all used monitors though - some people have bought used Yamaha NS10s and then find that they've been thrashed.) -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Thank you Tony - indeed this can be a major miss, simply because if I get them from eBay, I can't check anything .... pfff. I should think this thoroughly.
