I don't think so, but I think for a large portion of the mainstream. how many people do you think buy skrillex on vinyl? not many I'd bet

The tone-deaf kids who listen to Skrillex can stay the fuck away from vinyl as far as I'm concerned.

Dope man.
Can I ask you a question mate? Are your speakers (KRK Rokit5s) plugged into that mixer there? (I never really used monitors and pro audio. P.S. Can anyone help? )

Yeah you need an interface for most monitors, and mixers are interfaces

Chances are, if they're USB monitors, they're shit

Horribly blurry phone shot of my setup

KRK RP5s, Focusrite Saffire Scarlett, MacBook pro 15", pair of CDJ-200s, Denon DJM-100, Stanton turntable, assorted vinyl

Are my monitors way too close to my head or the wall? I know fuck all about speaker placement

[Electric_Head]

spread them wider

[Sonika]

spread them wider

By how much (not looking for an exact measurement obv, just an approximation)

[Electric_Head]

At least 50cm.
Rather spread them and angle inwards slightly.

Thanks mate. Looking forward to getting these monitors mate. I might get a mixer or a Mackie Onyx Blackjack. Looks like a quality interface. Phantom power so i might get a condenser for small vocals or sounds i cant find. Might get a percussion mic for little jingles, lighters, coins, and stuff to sample. Might sample rain too.
Anyway, thanks mate. Cannot wait to get my new studio stuff. Ill post it on this thread when i finish!

He could do the equilateral triangle thing too.

Get a condenser mic for field recording, it will serve the most purposes!

they are definitely too low. ideal height for monitors, when you`re sitting is 100 - 110 cm. average desk height is 70 cm. You cant go wrong with buying speaker stands, you can hardly destroy them and can basically use them forever and in any studio setup you have in the future.

I would pull the desk out and place the monitors behind the desk on the speaker stands.

thats what i was thinking, couldve spent a hair more on monitors.....lol.

The TV isn´t mine, it´s my old room mate´s... I would never go and buy a giant TV like that to use for production...I would much rather use 2 x 24" pc monitors...The monitors (rokit 5's) was all i could afford at the time when i bought them...They still do the trick + + ....I'll prob upgrade in the future but im quite happy with my setup atm...

[Sonika]

Cheers Eridu, will try

Nah, the ideal height for monitors is having the tweeter at ear level, wherever that may be. No need for a tape measure.
I'd leave the desk where it is and move your speakers away from the wall, raising them up on something if necessary. Having them right up against the wall or in a corner will make your bass go wild.
