What Monitor or Speaker do you use for Mastering?

Hi,
As a home studio owner, what Monitor or Speaker do you use for Mastering?

Unless you have acoustically correct room, you will always have problems with low bass. That's why you need a pair of headphones that can produce sounds from 5Hz to 25kHz. I have BeyerDynamic DT770's but there are lot of others good quality headphones when you use that Hz criteria.
I use Genelec 8040's which have enough dip switch settings to match it to the room. They are also quite small (metal enclosure walls are only couple mm thick) and since all the walls are round there are no resonances or standing waves inside the box. That means they will sound accurate even at louder mixing volumes.
Btw the reason NS10 were used years back, was that they mimicked the average crappy home speakers, but still had tightly aligned sound. My old studio manager blamed all the terrible 1980's records on them, which you can hear if you compare them to today's remastered versions.

  • What thrid party tools are you using for backup compression?

    I have a few SQL Server 2008 standard edition instances and I'm curious to what third party tools people are using for backup compression. I know upgrading to enterprise edition or  SQL Server 2008R2 or above will give me that compression but I do not
    have that option right now. I'm familiar with Idera, Red gate and Litespeed and I just want to know what else is out there.
    Thank you in Advance.

    There are many third party tools.

  • What PPro CS5 preset do you use for Canon T2i/550D footage?

    When editing Canon T2i (or 550D) footage what Premiere Pro CS5 preset is the best to use: the Canon XF MPEG2 or the Digital SLR presets?
    I've just speant an hour on the net searching for this info and found conflicting opinions so I'm hoping some CS5/T2i users see this and will respond with what they use and why. Thanks!

    Note that while this technically does work, it will create a sequence using the Desktop editing mode; Premiere Pro CS5 has a specific DSLR editing mode, and that is what is used when you manually select the appropriate DSLR preset. It's really not a big deal--you can edit DSLR footage (and any other footage, for that matter) in any sequence preset you like, so go with whatever method suits you. Personally, I like to choose the specific sequence preset that matches my footage, instead of relying on the guesswork on the New Item button--for example, this process does not correctly read SD or HD video from Panasonic P2 cards in MXF format.
    YMMV...

  • What Kinde of program should I use for mastering?

    I had a litle problem with mastering my songs what I made with Logic Pro X is not enough laud. I need some help that what is a program to use mastering?

    You can master your tracks in logic. Bounce the song and import into a fresh logic project, then just apply your mastering processes there. However, mastering is a task that does require a very special skill set and a very good listening environment. Just having the software doesn't make a good master.

  • What tools do you use for automating builds?

    Hi all Build Engineers,
    what systems do you use for automating builds - do you use your own tools, or some opensource project?
    If it is something public, which one it is, and what were the reasons to chose it?
    We are thinking about using the Hudson system (http://hudson.dev.java.net/) for our developers, but would like to hear from other RE groups about their experiences too.
    Thanks,

    Tinderbox is another build monitoring tool. It does not show detailed steps of a build cycle. It only shows the final result : success or failed. But it can display build output for multiple platforms on the same page.
    This is how the tinderbox build grid will look --> http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=SeaMonkey
    Detail Info -->
    http://www.mozilla.org/tinderbox.html
    Tinderbox can be connected to Bonsai -->
    It is a tool that shows you who checked in what, lets you perform queries on the contents of a CVS archive; get a list of checkins, see what checkins have been made by a whom, or on a given CVS branch, or in a particular time period.

  • Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

    Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

    I agree - it's all about preference.  I use the ThinkTank Retrospective 7.  I *love* ThinkTank's attention to detail...  everything from having a rain cover included with the bag, to having ingenius use of velcro (sp?) patches to enable you to "silence" the bag so it doesn't make the big "SCRATCH" sound when opening the bag during a quiet event, etc.
    My best advice would be to do your research (which you're clearly doing) and have a clear understanding of the return policy wherever you buy it, and then don't be afraid to return it if you get it and feel it doesn't meet your needs.  A restocking fee is a small price to pay to not be stuck with a bag that doesn't work for you.  And if for any reason you get it and can't return it, there's always eBay. 

  • What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
    What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
    Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
    So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.

  • Discussion: What file system do you use for external backups and why?

    I just got a brand new seagate 2TB hdd to act as an external backup.
    I use ext2 with it, because it's USB (sata->usb enclosure), and I'm not likely to connect it direct to a PC anytime soon (also my computer is old and I liek to keep ram usage down as much as possible)...
    What filesystems do you use\prefer for external backups.. and why?
    Also, what type of connection do you use (USB,eSATA,etc,) and size (ie larger then a disk on key..)?

    I used to use ext4 on a 1.5TB HD, but recently switched back to ext3—and a tiny NTFS partition for the ext2fsd install file. I realized I use this drive a lot more outside of my Linux environment than I thought, and it was a hassle (and also unsafe) to disable driver signatures at Windows boot just to get a dev version of ext2fsd to work.
    pseudonomous wrote:If portability to other operating systems is a concern, then fat32 is, unfortunately, still the best choice, unless you have single files bigger than 4gb, which would probably mean you want to use ntfs or ext2.
    While helping a friend with her external hard drive, I noticed another limitation of fat32: only 65535 file descriptors per directory. She tried to backup her entire NTFS Windows C: drive to a fat32 one. Took us a good while until we figured that out, and I couldn't find much about it on the net.

  • What kind of analysis should i use for these signals?

    Thanks for your replies to this topic.  I just discovered the worm gear option yesterday while talking to a professor.  I think that is the route we are going to take because the DC motor won't be as expensive as a high-torque stepper or servo.  Also, I have three engineers that will be calculating the motor size based on gear reduction, spool size, cable length, and the load that we have to lift (which is about 120 lbs.).  If any of you would like to suggest a motor size, that would be great too.  I'm thinking something around 1HP should probably do it.  My goal is to stay cost-effective while making an easy apparatus.  I know that the worm gears may also be inefficient at times but it seems like the best solution for this application.  Not to mention it's not to hard for our mechanical engineers here to make the spool and bearings.  And I believe you can buy a DC motor that interfaces directly with a worm gear.  However, a follow up question is what computer hardware do I need to control the voltage of the motor so I have speed control?  Is this done through an RS232 board?  My output from the LabVIEW program will be voltages, from which device is that binary signal converted into physical voltage?  Thanks for your help so far.

  • What brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" internal Hard Drive?

    what brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" aluminium internal Hard Drive?
    can I use WD caviar black?
    is it too hot?

    If you are replacing the drive because the existing one is faulty, that's one thing. If you just want more space, you should take advantage of having a decently fast and relatively small capacity drive in there now (instead of a huge drive). Get an external FireWire drive and off-load most of your user data there. Make your internal drive dedicated to mostly your OS and app files, with plenty of free space. That setup will make your iMac run more efficiently. I won't go into more detail, because I'm not answered your specific question... You can post back with any questions, if interested...
    To answer your questions...
    You should be able to use any SATA 3.5-inch drive internally, but you should probably keep it at or under 1TB. The main concerns are power usage and heat dissipation. A drive like the WD Caviar Green would be ideal in terms of power and heat, but they do have slower (or variable) spin rate. I have one as an external drive (750GB) and it is amazingly quiet and cool. If I had to replace the internal drive because the current drive failed, I'd put it inside. I'll trade a bit of pure performance for the efficiency (including low noise), and these drives are more advanced with higher data density and larger cache, so the trade-off from slower spin rate may not be so bad.
    You can check your current drive's model number (which is shown in System Profiler) to get the specs online. The stock drive in my old +Late 2006+ iMac is a 7200 RPM drive. The Caviar Black is a 7200 RPM drive, with a newer design. So if you want to use a Caviar Black in there, I think it would be OK.
