Okay guys I don't know what that weird drink guiness is that you're all going on about.

Guinness however is the main drink we're exporting to you, maybe the name gets messed up along the way or something? ;)

Well, if that's the case I'm a wimp then. Picked up a bottle of 'Black Bush' in the tax free on the seacat last month though, excellent stuff... and I normally don't even like whiskey...

About the absolute 2's... well, I feel it's easier working with those crappy old monitors I've got... They've got crispier top end and better defined bass. To give an example, when tuning to a noisy radio station, I might barely notice it on my 'normal' speakers (crappy sony's) and the absolute 2's, but on those old things it becomes allmost unlistenable. When playing bass sounds through them, I can hear more variation/texture/timbre in the bass sound on the old speakers compared to the absolute 2's. If this actually makes the absolute 2's better, then let me know, I'm no sound engineer or anything.

Come to think of it, that might be better, because if you can get it to sound good on those, it will hopefully sound better on other setups ?

yes they suck.... they were in the paper yesteday sucking something.... so it must be true.!!... what are you on about??..... do they suck?.... well, i guess it all depends wehter your audience are listening on the same speakers... but then thats the same for all of them.... y'see what i want to know is this.... if all these studio speakers don't discolour the sound... are clear ...and transparent.... with xxx bass response... smooth and truely presicion accurate sound.... etc etc... how come they all sound bloody different?.... :-)

me pops has a super-nice set of 100W electrovoice speakers...much louder and clearer than my friend's pair of 500W crate cabinets...he he...i suppose they're actually PA speakers, but they are excellent monitors, with better frequency response than just about any i've heard...but then they're big...12" woofers, which means in any event you'll get more bass than from smaller jobs...but is that bad? remember, appeal to the lowest common denominator!!

but anyway, the point is that i've just learned that a lot of my mixes sound shite (don't say it!) when i listen to them on decent speakers, as evidentally my little 30W hifi system colors the hell out of the sound...because everything sounded too thin and I was adding way too much bass...MIX ON GOOD SPEAKERS!! (or at least not on panasonic hi-fi's!)

no no, i meant to say "but is that good"...'cause most people don't have big fuckin monitor systems to listen to music on and therefore a lot of the signal is lost anyhow!

this is all very confusing... but i think i'm going to have to go with hilevelt's choice (though i've still more than likely got a week or two to vacillate in..) simply because his stuff sounds well balanced on these crappy pc speakers..
so hilevelt... you gotta tell me.. what kinda events did you mix that DAT recorded stuff on.. you say you currently use the 'normals' does this mean the direct field unpowereds? your subwoofer is other manuf., so you don't use the triads, and you're not referring to them as 'normal..' but it sure would be nice if anything around here was worthy of being referred to as such..

my favourite monitors are a pair i built myself using revere cones.. hardly flat.. big and heavy with the beautiful lustre of hdf oh lala but they make such good endtables and i'd kinda like something someone else built so i could feel a little less aloof..

they're just speakers.. but i need them! i need them!
