Avantone Mixcube for Mono Mixing
For now I've decided to go with buying one Avantone Mixcube and using it for mono mixing. I've read a lot of great things about this approach as far as creating mixes that translate (no matter where they are played back.)
I've also read some things that are making me question the monitors I have been using (KRK 5s) because of their ported design.
According to what I've read in this book I should go with an unported 2.1 system (Blue Sky Media Desk is recommended) and use mono monitoring with an Avantone Mixcube as a secondary monitor system.
Considering how much less expensive it is to go with buying just one Mixcube, I'm going to go that route first and then possibly add the Blue Sky Media Desk 2.1 system later on.
In the meantime I may also try putting socks in the ports of my KRK5s to dampen the bass ringing that is apparently a big problem with comparatively inexpensive ported monitors.
I'll be sharing my experience with mono mixing (which I've never really tried before) and putting a sock in my ports in future posts here.
