OMFG..

its like having a new set of ears...

not gonna start producing on them just yet.. gonna listen to some music for a few days and see how they sound and try to get to know them..

but i've already listened to some mixdowns and can immediatly spot problems with mixes i thought were fairly good.

viva la big **** off mackies :cool: :cheese:

that's what i did when i got my speakers. i could hear details i had never heard before in the music and just sat there listening!

at the moment im listening to snow patrol. an ex band-mates brother produced it who i consider to be one of the best "commercial" producers around - gareth lee

this is how music is meant to be heard.. lush.

enjoy yourself!

Nothing but good things to say about mackie

My room acoustics are now the weakest link in the chain, which is a priviledged position to be in....

Mackies tend to enhance the bass, something to do with phase. Its a non issue when compared to using those alesis. Im using some borrowed 642's at the mo, waiting for some Adams to arrive, been waiting ages. ****ers

i'm currently in the process of constructing studio and it's amazing how much acoustic panels and basstraps influence room's sound, it's so much fun moving those HR824s and panels around room experimenting, and the bass is most dependent on it.

what do you mean by phase? it's a question of acoustics.. HR824s go from 39hz to 20khz supposedly "flat", and one can make good use of this frequency range.
