[TKNO1]

Want to know what other people are using for speakers with their Powerbook. Now I am meaning quality monitors. Not "Soundsticks " or anything in that range. Please let me know.. thanks

Since my last post I just moved up to the Alesis M1 MkII Monitors...

My suggestion is that if you have a small space / Any monitor would work...
However, In my travels searching for a new set of monitors I've heard that if you're mixing in a small space you won't need a large speaker for the bass... 6.5" woofer or less should do the trick for your space...

I still love the PS5's they were great for me...
But, I find that I get a better bass response from the M1's (The speaker is larger)...

One last suggestion - I'm an old schooler and suggest that you get a pair of monitors that have as flat a repsonse as possible... The M1's ARE a great choice... And if you want a true representation of your mix - don't bother with monitors that have all the bass and treble controls on them... That kind of stuff only colors the mix so that it sounds nice in your studio... You'll find if you're not keen on how that affects your mix - Your tunes will sound great in the studio but terrible on regular radios and systems in "the real world"...

You may as well go purchase a nice pretty set of speakers from the local stereo store then... I think using a pair of "true" monitors (ie: no "Spacial" controls), and "teaching yourself" the feel of your system will utlimately serve you better in the end...

Good Luck...
