Two Sets of Monitors
Up until now I've only used one set of monitors in my studio (the Rokit KRK 5s) and I've always ignored the advice to use multiple sets of monitors (partly because I'm not made out of money.)
But recently it's sort of clicked for me just how important it is to have two sets of monitors, particularly two sets of monitors that are reasonably different from each other.
The idea being that if you can make your mix sound good on both of these sets of monitors then the chance of your mix working just about everywhere in the "real world" seems like it would increase significantly.
I'm considering the Yamaha HS50Ms based on some online recommendations.
I'm also considering getting a single speaker to use for mono monitoring (maybe this one.) Perhaps going back and forth between my KRK5s in stereo and another monitor in mono is the way to go? (I also check my mixes on my ATH M50 headphones.)
I am interested more recommendations on where to go with this. Share yours in the comments. Thanks!
