I got a set of these new for £160, and they do a pretty tidy job.

Good and cheap monitors don't excist.. You could go with some krk's to start off with but they start at around $350 (not sure if this is right but it should be something like this)

Otherwise go for a decent headphone.. I use my HD-25's quite alot since the acoustics of my room aren't that well :),

@ JFK hahaha ... erm thanks lol! :oops:

yeah i can see il need to spend quite a bit of money on this :o as il need an audio interface too.... ahh the joys of producing lol i mite jus see if i can rob someones studio for a day.

Im currently using headphones to produce but iv heard people say its not the best way to do it? when i play my tracks on other systems they can sound quite different from in the headphones so im guessing you wouldn't really wanna do a mix down with headphones???

Thanks guys!
