Hey folks!
I just got studio monitors from my lady friend for christmas.
Some Krk Rokit 6's. Any mixing tips and tricks?
I've never used monitors before this but, holy shit I can hear everything. Also when it comes to mixing and mastering is caustic limited? One mix I made sounded particularly good. But I don't know. Should I be using both caustic and (for an example) ableton to mix and master to get a really good professional production?
Attached link was the mix that was particularly good.
Any advice or do's and don'ts would be much appreciated.
Would also appreciate some genre specific advice.
Check previous threads. I believe u may find A lot of what u r after.
Hi,
I only work with headphones (good ones) but wish I had monitors and the dedicated area to create a good space to use them. So, I can't give much monitor advice other than to use them in a good environment, sound-wise. I think Caustic is all you need to create a good mix and I wanted to say that "Mammal" was really good. I guess if you wanted to polish a final Caustic mix, there are tools (maybe even a Caustic Mastering app, maybe, some day) but the mix is the foundation and I think Caustic is all you need to build a good one.
