By Jr Huff


Most if not all customer audio systems are adjusted so that everything with be richer as well as crisp which is great for the consumer. As an audio engineer it is not beneficial as it will alter music you are working on. You may attempt balance your own music to make up for this, when it is not needed or preferred. Even worse when your client or fans listen to the music it will not sound good. Whenever laboring on music as an "audio engineer" the goal is simply to make sure that it is "transferable". What this means is that when you listen a song it will sound good almost anywhere on any form of music player from an Ipod touch to a home theater.

This is why studio monitors becomes very important as they work to not change the audio. In a perfect world they will have a flat frequency responds meaning "no change at all of any frequency". No pair of monitor are perfect in spite of this they are considerably less adjusted then customer equipment. In home and professional studios a like a pair of studio monitors ( other-wise called reference monitors ) will be used in studios, and in many cases several different sets to choose from enabling you to reference material as the engineer and producer mix to aid with transferability.

You can get a lot of studio monitors how do you go with the perfect one for yourself? Initially establish how much you are willing o pay for a pair of studio monitors. Monitors can vary from $200 to $10,000. This is why a financial budget is vital as you can very quickly deplete money.

When I did this I budgeted of $200-$400 for my monitors. In the world of reference monitors this would fall under the "cheap studio monitor group" ; nonetheless it was realistic for what I could afford to pay for. Remember that you may need some wires to connect them up to your audio interface so budget for these as well.

Now that you have a price range it is time to embark upon performing a bit of web research. I started out searching online searching for "studio monitors" and "reference monitors". I devoted time on audio forms such as "Gearslutz"and "The womb" to acquire many other individuals views. I even asked other engineers and audio pupils as well.
