Just read the sticky up at the top and tried to reply but it boots you out. Locked? Although that's a great article up there I think there's a big hole in it. There's no mention of speakers...monitors. Headphones are good for referencing stuff but should never be used soley for mixing and mastering. With many people using surround systems and subs you need a decent pair of monitors.

It's been locked down by the forum's necro protection, but the author should see this post.

Have you read the last paragraph?

Quote: The second best money I spent on sound equipment was a pair of Genelec 1029a powered monitors (a k a "mixer speakers"). They are almost as accurate as the headphones, and beat anything from Klipsch, Creative, Bose, or the other cheap brands. In fact, they're much better than my stereo system speakers -- and about 1/10th the size! They recently released a newer model called 8030, so you might be able to find the 1029as at a bargain price.

I have 2 pairs of genelecs too, great speakers :)

Bah...I'm a dick...lol. Why I didn't see that is beyond me.
