Glad you liked it!!

[@SHOCMUSIC]

Nice summary! But since I've already got all these thinks, I noticed that you didn't mentioned a really important part (in my opinion at least) and that is a bit of room treatment. Because you can have the best monitos, but if your room is reflecting so much sound you won't be able to mix very reliable. (might even be worth a video?) Anyway thanks for helping all the producers out there!

Should I buy presonus Eris 3.5 or alesis plss reply buddy, Is it going to be worth it ???

[@808ross8]

@@shreshth6841 for me personally I prefer the alesis ones but thats because what I'm used to and I know the sound they produce, so get any and really learn how they sound, compared to other speakers and u will get a decent sound, the alesis ones also have a 5 inch cone so if u have a smaller room get the presonus ones

[@shreshth6841]

@@808ross8 thanks a lot already ordered alesis ones I guess they are better for music production I listened to several of the reviews and decided to get alesis I hope it turns out good I my country presonus are just double their price due to taxes on imports so I chose alesis anyway

[@808ross8]

@@shreshth6841 fair enough, u have got a good pair of monitors, I recommend connecting them by trs to ur interface. Also I recommend playing loud music through them for about 7 to 8 hours, this will allow the monitors to have the exact sound they were intended to give

Hey Edward, no cap! Which microphone is better? The Samson C01 or the Audio-Technica AT2020? I'm kinda leaning on the Samson C01 because I've listened to reviews and it seems to kinda add this warm/ bass tone to the vocals. I'm a soprano and I'm fairly new to music production, so I want to get equipment that won't be too expensive but still good for my learning period.
