Nah, go listen to them. Genelecs, ATCs, Ex Machinas, and Barefoots sound night and day different from each other.

@@MakePopMusic so what’s the point? isn’t the point to know what you’re hearing? transparency?

@@johnviera3884 I work on both Ex Machinas and ATC's extensively. Here's my experience: The Ex Machinas feel life-like in a way that most monitors don't. I find they are much more fatiguing to listen to than other monitors, but the trade-off is a level of detail I haven't heard in most monitors. Absolutely larger than life. When I'm using the Ex Machinas, I'm at a studio recording primarily acoustic music - folk and jazz. For this genre, I love the Ex Machinas. For music like that, the detail is not fatiguing. Instead they help you chase the goal of a beautiful hi-fi acoustic recording. You hear noise issues very clearly, you hear subtle distortion easily that would be inappropriate for jazz, but would be totally permissable in other genres. If I tried to mix a pop record on the ex-machinas, I would under-compensate with a dark and undercompressed mix. My ATCs are used primarily for mixing, and I'm mixing mostly rock and pop. They are MUCH less fatiguing in my personal opinion. I feel that they are much less bright. Low-mids are very different too. Because they sound less exciting to me, it forces me to push the mix further and end up with the right top end and an exciting amount of compression and saturation. I've used many different models of ATCs in different rooms at this point, and used many speakers alongside the Ex Machinas. There are certainly common themes between the ATCs, even though they're in different rooms. Of course, the room will play a role in that, but the Ex Machinas revealed things that other speakers didn't *in that room* with the same monitoring environment. Is this due to lack of transparency in other monitors? Perhaps, I'm not sure. This is why you have companies that chase the mathematically perfect speaker, like the Meyersound HD1s 20 years ago. Some love them, some don't. The Ex Machinas to me are the same, and Barefoots also have a similar philosophy. ATCs for example seem to have a broader appeal - maybe they're less perfect and more pleasant to listen to. Hard to say. Anyway, different monitors tell you different information, and total transparency isn't necessarily the goal for everyone and every genre.

@@johnviera3884 That is the misconception with monitors. It's much more to do with how your ears interpret the monitors. You can mix on just about any monitor at the end of the day. You have to learn whichever monitors you're using. If you don't know them like the back of your hand, you won't make good mixes. Wether they're K'Rocks or ATC, doesn't matter. You have to learn them.

lol

Lolol Andrew is the best!

I hated the Amphions honestly. I know people who love them but they were definitely not for me personally.

lol thus far I've used a different setup each shoot. The final setup is R5 w/ 50 mm 1.8, R8 with 15-35mm 2.8 but i'm gonna have to get 24-70 going forward.

Right? Colt is on some Joe Rogan-type sh
