studio monitors.

I'm a huge fan of Focusrite's stuff for great sound and features at a really good price. I can heavily recommend the Focusrite Saffire 6, though they may be a bit overkill for what you want (unless you want to have a few TRS and mic inputs and some great mic preamps, because then it'd be just right).

+1 for Focusrite!

+1 for Focusrite!

+1 I'm using the Saffire 6 UBS, too. It is far beyond its pricerange.

Yep! The mic preamps sound great

Yep! The mic preamps sound great

ok then, I'll start saving up for this, and I have been wanting some mic inputs for recording too.

[something awesome]

I recommend these high quality studio monitors.

Yeah I tried those out, but they were too bassy.

So I just dug up this old thread because I'm ready to finally buy a pair of my own studio monitors. We've actually got a pair of KRK Rokits in the studio I work at but I'm not personally a fan of them because they really emphasise the low-end making them less than ideal for EQing. I will be using them for producing but I'm also going to be doing a lot mixing and mastering as well as part of my training.

I'm looking for something with a relatively flat response that doesn't take up a huge amount of space. I've got a £1000 budget so price isn't really an issue here. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Which rokits did you get, my 5's aren't really big on low end, in fact thats their week point.

To me, the idea of having as-close-as-possible-to-flat-range speakers can be a bit ridiculous. It's not about how good your monitors are, it's about how well you know them. You need to know what too much and too little sounds like on your monitors compared to other "trusted" systems (e.x: what too harsh sounds like on your speakers, even if it doesn't sound too harsh on your system)


Get the monitors that sound best for your music, and learn how they sound. Also remember that any pair you try out will probably be well-worn-in, so don't get upset if they don't sound like them when you first ge them.
