stuff

I bought a pair of Mackie HR624 studio monitors today. They sound absolutely fucking fantastic.

I went to the store planning to listen/buy either the Alesis M1 Actives and the new Event True Reference series. But after listening to all of those, some M-Audios, and a pair of Genelec 1029’s, the Mackie monitors really stood out. The Genelecs sounded really good, too…just not as much low end.

I’ve also got the Auralex MoPAD isolation pads underneath the monitors now. It does make a difference - not significant, but the low end seems a bit clearer and cleaner.

Been listening to CDs and some of my old work on these things all night. Surprisingly enough, the demos I did for the Monumental Divide and Matt actually hold up fairly well, considering we were using some pretty low-budget stuff. The stuff I’m doing for this new band isn’t sounding as well, but that’s why I bought these monitors, to fix that.

I think I’m in love with music again.

    Listen to my demo and tell me what you hear - I mixed and mastered that on my lamer PC speakers and headphones.

    Hey Mike this is music, you left me and now you want me back? What the hell you don’t pay child support, you cross labor lines, and now you say you want me back? You are a duche.
