New Monitors or liquid mix

[The_Laughing_Man]

well, I would say always, that the monitors are the most important part of your set up.
They make the sound.
Everything you do will be referenced through them, and more than anything else they will allow you to achieve clarity in your sound.

I`d sell the tannoys on ebay and then plump for one of the following monitors
all under 400 jib

KRK RP6 G2

Quested S6R

Fostex PM-1 Mk2

personally I would save up just a little more and get some KRK VXT4`s

It depends how serious you are, those 3 monitors listed above will do you proud, and you`ll notice a difference straight away compared to the tannoys.
Get yourself up to romford and go try them out at the Digital Village warehouse.

I would go for the Quested myself. They have a very respectable history of speaker building in studios and I really like the sound of them.


The Liquid mix is great, I have one myself, the Compression and EQ`s are really spanktastic, especially the ability to mix and match band range "components" from different studio EQ`s.
But get good monitors before you get a liquid mix or you won`t be able to appreciate it for what it does.

And don`t worry too much about the laminate floor, you proibably won`t be working at levels where it will seriously effect what you are doing. Nearfields are meant to be used "close" so that you hear them before reflections.

In fact I did a bit of work in a friends studio the other week with a laminate floor and a set of adams monitors, and it didn`t take me long to use his set up effectively.
