Re: Show us your studio!
They're the ones I picked up for mastering. They're not great for listening to music as they're too raw and tiring, but they're excellent mixing headphones, although you need to cross-check on cheap 2.1 speakers to get the bass balance anything approaching right.
Re: Show us your studio!
Interesting.. I don't find them fatiguing for music, I've done 10 hours on a set. Actually my old set were the 600ohm so I'm refamiliarising after a couple of years maybe the 250ohm are a tad harsher. Time will tell.. [Couldn't find 600ohm with the coily lead and original shell.. they are also wired to one side now I preferred the Y split..]Dio wrote:They're the ones I picked up for mastering.

I don't hear the presence lift with the 990 so much as midrange scoop... but there's more realism to my ears than say the HD600 (hear txtural grain and a veil between my ears and the sound). I've also found them to be great for mixing and mastering. I get reliable results they translate as I expect to speakers and marry well to my JM Labs..
I'm definitely curious about the T1 and T90..
Trippy vibes...

Re: Show us your studio!
Bit of synth tetris needed to squeeze in the new controller (Novation Remote SL 61 Mk3)

Only problem now, is sorting out a mile of wiring. Nothing’s wired up properly in this pic as I just did a quick move around to unbox the new controller. The layout is fluid at the mo and I'm going to get some quality time out there over the xmas break to figure out a workable layout and what I need to buy in terms of new cables. I can make do over the next few days, but I'm a bit of a neat freak when it comes to my cabling, like things to be optimal lengths etc.
Layout is very likely to change as I’m going to be racking the semi modular gear (plus a couple more in a similar format due soon
) and will have to squeeze the Craftsynth 2.0, Skulpt and Pipes In later on too 
I have bags of room to spread out yet though so it’s all cool

Re: Show us your studio!

never done much with this, there was a mc202 in there at 1 point, the only thing i did with this was sell it.
Re: Show us your studio!
Love the DX200, had the AN200 a few times but kept selling it for some reason, despite it having the best most fat sounding analog synth sounds ever.kel wrote:

Re: Show us your studio!
Not done an update on here in a long time:
This was the state of play recently during yet another round of studio tetris..

A few bits not in that pic as they're out on loan with a mate, including the little Behringer Crave and the Modal CraftSynth. Still waiting on the arrival of the Pipes too (long overdue Kickstarter, sample player thing) which will probably inspire yet another sort out. I have a bunch of random midi controllers elsewhere not in the pic too.

Re: Show us your studio!
Bought myself an Xmas pressie, so another round of Tetris required...

Getting there... though I’m about to rearrange the racks!

Looks a bit tight for a pair of Twin 6 BE but a pair of Solo 6 would work nice. I will always use Focals funds permitting - the W sandwich cones and particularly inverted dome tweeters are unmatched by rivals IMO.

Re: Show us your studio!
Well, that's pre-wiring back up, just sorting out ergonomics, but yeah I like everything set up ready to go with no fuss.(o)(o) wrote:Well tidy.. organised AF!
Just switch on, warm up the analogues, and jam is my goal.

Re: Show us your studio!
Yeah me too. Mine are only the little 5" drivers, but they sound great and plenty of grunt for my little music room. When I got them I did consider getting the 6's but really don't feel the need for more bulk when the smaller ones suit my little setup perfectly.kel wrote:KRK's sound f'n awsome, my gf ( who only really likes pop ) has noticed how they sound. i think if i sold them she'll kill me
