Monitors...

[brianisdead]

How important are they to the production of listenable music?
This is my passion, but all i have are these logitech speakers, they have a lot of bass but obviously not a flat frequency.

Bottom line is should i get monitors? Do all good producers have them? And if I get them do i need a certain size to get full bass response?

BTW if you care heres my soundcloud, http://soundcloud.com/brianquestionmark my last 2 songs have a lot of bass, too much? too little? I have no idea.

Bass is important but the entire track is not made from bass.
You want speakers with a flat response to produce music that will be the most pleasing on most systems.
But that being said, they`re not essential and a good set of headphones can also do the job

In that case...

New thread topic!

I just broke my crappy skullcandy headphones (dont buy headphones at radio shack the day before you go to thailand)

What kind should I get? Keep in mind they are also for listening, I will bring them to class everyday. Or is it impossible to have both good listening and monitoring phones in one? Thanks!

if you can get seperate pairs for listening and producing.

Sadly it seems like people have started buying and reviewing STUDIO MONITORS for their home listening pleasure. Can you recommend a pair? and do they actually have a flat bass response in my uninformed opinion you cant actually hear how the bass will feel with headphones.

Hey thanks a lot for the help, I would have searched but I had already started a new thread so I figured I'd ask.

I have to say the importance of monitors for producing/mixing to a good level cannot be stressed enough in my opinion.

If i was setting up a studio from scratch to make music, they would be one of/if not the first thing i would go for.
