Re: Good setup for all-round use?!

cost vs. sound quality is way off in my opinion I wouldn't even call them good listening speakers as I find them really fatiguing...[/quote]

How have they managed to become so popular with artists? :/

Re: Who's exciting you in Dubstep right now?

Crystal Drop, Mortar, Siberun, Grimehouse, Herox, Rarebreed, Kromly, The Biocide, Eliminate.

I found all of these artists off the Drop The Bassline EP’s.

Re: Good setup for all-round use?!

I've been mixing on my D5s in an untreated room for over six months now. Massive improvement over the KRK Rokit 6s I was using before. They pretty much beat the shit out of the Rokits in every way. The D5s are very unforgiving. Having less bass in my room was actually a huge improvement as I lost ...

Re: Good setup for all-round use?!

The D5s are probably a safe bet. Without decent room treatment you wouldn't get an even response below 50hz anyway, so better to have it rolled off than spiking all over the place and resonating your room.

One thing to consider on the interface is if you ever plan to do digital DJing. You'd need a ...

Re: Good setup for all-round use?!

I just looked them up and they seemed like a very good choice. With the interface, what about a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2? It seems like a pretty good audio interface.
Thanks for your reply!

yeah good choice. the one i have is actually discontinued, i just got a smoking deal for it because it was ...

Re: Good setup for all-round use?!

equator d5s are a very good choice. probably the best you can get for the money. just keep in mind a 5" monitor doesnt extend down to the lower frequencies. 50hz is about what you can monitor accurately down to at best. but even 6.5" monitors arent much better. just learn to mix your bass ...

Re: Good setup for all-round use?!

I have similar musical interests and when I upgrade I plan to go eith the Yamaha HS80M. I've read countless reviews and people seem to think they are the best speakers all around for the price (under 1000$) and you can get a pair for 500, I have heard mixed reviews on the KRKs, not bashing them, I ...

Re: Good setup for all-round use?!

Equator D5's

don't even hesitate, just buy them. far superior to other speakers in the same price range and you get all the cables/stuff to go with them. if you already have that stuff you can just buy the speakers alone for less. it's KRK, not KYK, but that doesn't matter because you're going to ...

Good setup for all-round use?!

Hey everyone! I'm new here, so sorry if I see like an amatuer or anything..

I'm really, really into all types of EDM, Dubstep, and all the other sub-genres. But also metal, and some softer music. I've recently purchased a Novation Launchpad, and I also mix my own music in Logic Pro 9. Now, all I ...
