I wanted to say that I very proudly use the Kali LP-6’s and we absolutely love them!
They just sent us a pair of WHITE LP-6’s for a giveaway!
They have decided to do a limited run of 400 LP-6’s in white! They are beautiful and I don’t want to give them back! - Sorry Kali!
➡️➡️We cover the following questions during this episode of FAQ Friday!
• I track and mix in the same room if I track drums with outboard EQ on the toms what would be the best method to dial in the EQ before pressing record? (3:02)
• Sometimes I find myself using too many plugins on a track. Do you have any advice on what to think about before one starts adding plugins? (7:06)
• What would be the steps to get the drums all aligned? Should I Align the kicks with the kicks, Snares with the snares or should I just pick up one sample and align everything to that? (12:15)
• How much time should I put into recording mixing and engineering a week to get to a higher tier of production skill? (17:07)

Have any questions for next week's FAQ Friday? Leave them below! :)
could You make vid about dynamice eq and Multiband compression pls ?
which do you prefer? Audient Sono or AXE I/O ?
Building myself an ADAT based 24 track studio. Using the inserts on my 32 channel Mackie board, I print to tape the post preamp, preEQ signal. Is it better to print to tape a pre or post EQ signal? Routing through EQ would limit me to 8 channels (4 sub bus, 4 post eq aux sends) of recording at once, and for early tracking I'd like to use more than 8 just for drums, and tracking some rough guitars and a click as well. I think i prefer having the extra tracks and can EQ later, just unsure whether im losing anything by printing a preEQ signal instead of a postEQ signal.
Thanks!
I'd love to hear Warren's thoughts and a breakdown on how analog mixing from multi-track tape to 2-track tape is or was done on a console.... what was the process, how was it done, and what was the experience like... do you need multiple hands to move faders at just the right time... what if something didn't go as planned, do you just start over? I bet this would be really interesting. A live demo would be even more awesome. Thanks!
should I make all my stereo tracks mono , then mix, I.e. drum loops 1 shot etc
Another good thought mode to be in before using plug-ins......make sure you are using a plug-in FOR A SPECIFIC REASON and not just because you saw an engineer use the plug-in on youtube.
Devin Underwood haha yes indeed!! That’s an extremely important point!!
Just throw it out, when the song does not sound worse without, wahaha....
Truth!
Thank you so much for all your great videos. They really help me to make my music and mixes better.
I would love to receive those Kali monitors....
Question for Warren. When you send stems out, do you remove any automation ?
yamahas hs series all day
Thank you!
Just buy an old Mac. If you start throwing plugins in like pepperonis on a pizza, old boi pro tools will run out of CPU real quick. It's like a brick wall limiter for your plugin trigger finger. Tell you what, if you've got a new Mac, I'll trade you for my 2013...
Dear Kali,
Let Warren have the white speakers.
Best regards,
The PLP community.
Hi Jon Subs hahaha yes!! Well said my friend!!
Imagine the surprise of the winner when he or she opens the package and finds Warren's old black Kali's in there. :-)
Lasse Huhtala hah busted! Haha
I still wouldnt grumble. Haha. I have nowt. :(.
I wouldn't mind

Hi Marshall Hawkins Thanks ever so much!!
Happy you started this channel Warren! It’s GREAT! I primarily do hip hop and quickly understood that it’s not about the type of music but the information sharing and techniques, which are universal! Great job on Everything! 👌🏽
Wow! Thanks ever so much my friend! I'm so glad to be able to help out!
Down the plugin rabbit hole... Coming up in the digital era we never really had the opportunity to use outboard gear. Now that we've got some it's such a refreshing change. Still generally prefer doing EQ in post but tracking audio that sounds better going in than the old stuff did after much much post production is so nice.
Hi Warren. Would it be possible to do a video demonstrating compression in a real time mix? As somewhat of a beginner I still struggle to understand/hear to effects of Ratio, Threshold, Attack & Release. Thanks
There is a Reaper add-on called SWS / S&M extension. The extension allows you to take snapshots. I highly recommend the use of snapshots when you are loading up your plugins. This prevents having to delete all the plugins and starting over. Makes it easy to A/B your plugin decisions.
Credits on the description section. Addressing the questions at their time stamps. Nice
DJ IronChef thanks ever so much my friend!!
¡Hello Warren! and greetings to everybody on the channel. First of all, I want to apologize for my bad English.
I am a proud owner of a pair of white Kali Audio LP6's, which I am totally in love with. They are far superior to my previous monitors and I can assure that you cannot ask for anything better at that price. Greetings from Spain.
I love your videos,very informational as a newby in Production.And those Kali lp6 looks awesome.Good luck everyone out there,I hope you get it.....
Nedzat Veliji Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Would you say Revolver is your favorite Beatles album? It has always been my favorite.
Rick Rosberg I believe it’s their best! My favourite though is Let It Be! That’s the one I have most connection too!
@@Producelikeapro Interesting that you can separate your favourite from the best, most people wouldn't be able to. Maybe you heard Let it Be growing up. I came along after the fact, so have a different perspective.
Hi Warren I noticed that Focal are having a 40th anniversary celebration. could you give them a nudge about a Trio give away/ mix competition? thought I'd throw that out there. :)
I have a pretty basic question - do you recommend having a subwoofer as a component in the studio monitor setup? If so, do you recommend using all the time or only for specific purposes? Thanks - great videos!
Personally, I never eq or compress on the way in. I like musicians, including myself as live drummer, to work as hard as they can. Nothing will ruin a recording more than the notion "the engineer will fix it in the mix"
Peter Heinen thanks for your perspective!
I have just finished my first year at music school studying music production and I love it. My question is how do I maximise my employability by the time I graduate? I am building an ever-evolving portfolio of work but what else should I do?
get on fiver!
Could you do a video on why when I mix in mono and when I'm finish un mono mix sometimes the mix sound better in mono then stereo. Is that part of a phase issue
I would like to know that too :)
@@kelef666 right just certain things I noticed and I heard them talk putting certain dial in in mono too certain mix they do mono I notice need more info on that
Question for next week At what point does an engineer become the Producer. In other words. A band hires me and my studio to record a record. During the process, I as the engineer start to offer production advice to help make the recording better. As we go along I add more production to the project (at the bands request they ask things like " what do you think the song needs"...) My goal is to make the best recording possible, but as this goes on what point to I need to have the conversation about getting a producer credit?
Thank you so much for your knowledge and the also give away :-):-D.hope I win them. 😍❤
Hi VIBRATE VSA STUDIO you’re very welcome my friend!
Hello @@Producelikeapro 🙏❤ well come, and keep this work going on 😍✌😊
my interface went out last week wondering whats the best interface...i do need midi in/out 2 would work 8 would be better..probably around a $600 or so budget
Sir please make video & Series On music production for beginners to advance
Thanks and love from music community ❤️
Thanks for the opportunity. I am currently mixing on headphones so getting these speakers would be awesome..
Di Anointed Vale fantastic l!!
awesome video thank you for this
Hi Lalaland thanks ever so much!
Thank you Warren! Love the answer on the last question, really inspiring!!!
Lovely Kali's by the way!!!
Martin Luxen wonderful! Great to hear my friend! So glad to be able to help!
Absolutely true we use way too many plugins. We use them to the point of going backward and making things more complicated and not sounding better. I think in many cases, we trick ourselves into thinking it sounds better when it really doesn't.
I've never had a problem using too many plugins, but what made it even more apparent to me was using Harrison MixBus and using just the console EQ and dynamics. Plus your busses are "limited" so you have to be more thoughtful about how those are used. I'd have may six plugins total on a high track count project and I'd be really happy with the results, plus not have to manage so many plug-in windows. And I was super happy with the results. Now, you could certainly count the onboard EQ's and dynamics as plugins for sure. I take this approach to Studio One and see how far I can get a mix with a channel strip and my template busses, which are about 8 I believe. It works really well and greatly simplifies things. But sometimes I think we *want* things to be complex for its own sake.
Awesome FAQ. Thank you, Warren. These white Kali's are really gorgeous. Amazing giveaway.
I totally agree, Marc!
1:41 Yeah, I make those noises, too, when I bend or pick up anything of weight. Getting old sucks. 👴
The whole adding one plugin to fix another that you added to fix another, etc, reminds of that old kiddy song about the old lady who swallowed the fly.
yeah, reminds me of Dr's, one pill causes a side affect, so they issue another pill to counteract the side affect, which itself causes another side affect etc etc etc.
Before you know it, you are a walking pharmacy !
So even Dr's could learn a lot from Warren LoL
@@SirEggbertfartalot"Use as directed. Consult your physician before using Decapitator. Patients who are allergic to heavy doses of saturation and compression should not use Decapitator…"
@@adamfox9651 LoL
I know what you mean, I reacted terribly on Decapitator, but I was fine on Ferric TDS, I was just lucky that my GP was old school, and knew of a good alternative pill to try me on ;0)
Either way, "don't drink alcohol, drive or operate heavy machinery" whilst either are being used !
Is it too much to ask that Warren narrates the next Planet Earth series?
Wow! That's such an amazing series!! Sir David Attenborough is unbelievable!
Warren you can explain anything can't you . Great advice as always. Love your work.
Gilbert Spader wow! Thanks ever so much my friend!
Currently recording my bass tracks using my epiphone thunderbird but having trouble with the low end..any tips to pull it out more? Or just use a different bass?
New strings really help bass punch through a mix . I love Dark Glass pedals. Great tones .
@@gilbertspader7974 just got a tune up for it with new strings im starting to think maybe switch out the pickups
Warren, if I were to rate your videos, I'd say they are up there with Ben Stokes' catch in the recent World Cup match against South Africa. Now that's praise, and you deserve it.
the Kali`s are beautyful. I like them.
Wonderful!!
Thanks Warren - learning a lot from your videos. My productions are improving and I am inspired.
Where are your Trio 11 BE's?
Deconstructive editing...going back and removing that shit that sounded SOOOOOOO goood that session. It's why making recordings require time to do well.
Q1. was probably needing isolating headphones to hear the mics placement and what you said.
Wow only 400 well I have 2 of them and very proud to say I have cracking monitors for 300 squid 😁
Kevin Shepherd yes! Amazing value for money!!
Great FAQ and please sign me up to win those alabaster, prophylactic-covered Kali-boomers!!!
What do I have to do to enter for the giveaway? I feel like I missed the instructions although I watched the part twice. The white looks gorgeous btw.
click on the link in the description and then do a bunch of shit on a bunch of different social media websites.
goddammit I don't have all that twitter and instagram bullshit. fuck it.. over 10k entries anyway
Hey, Warren, hope you're doing marvelously well. Just a couple questions:
1. Should I print the raw tracks before applying EQ and other FX to the tracks? I always apply all FX to the raw mono tracks. Am I wrong?
2. Are those massive speakers really only $300 per pair????
3. Great answer to the "too many plugins" question.
4. Have a marvelous time recording and mixing.
Possible FAQ Friday Question.....When you discuss "phase", can you explain and perhaps give a few examples of something that sounds in phase vs out of phase? Not sure that I've ever had phase problems, but maybe because I'm not sure what a phase problem sounds like. Thank you Warren.
Have u ever mixing any jazz song？Is that any difference between mixing pop or rock?
Entering and hopefully winning this funky white speakers. King regards Lasse
Hi! Dear Warren, why don`t you have studio tour video or interview of composer, arranger? things like kontakt samples,gears,tips,etc.there are people using only MIDI keyboard and samples to compose music as well.Thank you!! Love your channel!
I keep cutting ~400hz on almost any track, especially keys like Rhodes. There is this boomy woozy sound at this frequency that I want to cut, however, I find myself almost always doing. Is this a bad thing?
Engineers back then got away with whatever console they have (whether it's API, Neve, SSL, Trident, etc) and manage to craft distinct sounds. Outboard gears/plugins other than you use often can be nice to have, but you can get away with stock plugins that your DAW provides.
I snagged these Kali’s (white ones) off your feedback Warren sight unseen... Just got them today and testing... absolutely staggered how good these are, not just for the money but punching way above its weight class... don’t even hesitate... buy these!!!!
Hey Warren, you talked about the best albums of the last 20 years. Could you thing about successful albums/records, that were not so great recording, mixing or generally production-wise?
I'm married, 3 kids, a job, and I still manage to carve out some time to engineer and produce/songwrite a few times a month. Is it easy? ABSOLUTELY NOT! But I love music and watching the reaction of artists hearing their music sound good and feel good, that's pretty rewarding. I'm still learning, and will continue to learn, that's the joy of it. There is no end to this passion.
Do you know of a largER diaphragm (I know it isn't technically considered a large diaphragm if it's less than 25 mm in diameter or something like that) or a "medium-diaphragm" condenser for a price similar to the Lewitts you demoed, that is shaped like a small diaphragm and can be aimed in the same way? I want to do an XY pair on a stereo bar, the same way I do with small diaphragms, but for a setup that only has a kick close mic, which would leave the overheads handling quite a bit of the sound. As a wee lad back in Ye Olde 90's, I was tracking punk bands to a Tascam 388. All 4 of the drum mics were going through an Alesis 1622 mixer onto tracks 1 and 8 on the 388, and someone had a pair of AKG C1000s, which were very convenient, since they ran off 9 volt batteries. I don't really remember how they sounded though. What's no more than a couple hundred each, has a somewhat larger-than-small diaphragm and fits in a clip for XY on a stereo-bar? Should I just get a pair of C1000s?
The sonic character I'm looking for, always takes me several plugins to achieve. When you record, and mix completely in the box, it's very digital and very clean, a little too clean for me. Use as many plugins as it takes to achieve the desired results IMO. If your able to reach your mixing goals with 1 plugin, then do so. If it takes 9 or 10, then do so. The more important question is not how many plugins your using, insteadask yourself "Are the listeners going to like the song, and will it compete against, or be close to the music at the top of the streams in your given Genre"?
Thanks as always Warren
Hi Warren. First of all thanks very very much for all your videos, your time, and your academy.
I'm having some problems to fit a Yamaha CP 80 in my mix (our keyboardist just love that electro piano) i made lot of progress with high pass filters, low pass filters, cuting at 550htz,adding some 5 kh dbx160 waves plugin comp(parallel comp with the mix knob) , tape simulator. Sounds a lot better. But still I think it doesn't sound the way I want. Have you work with that electro piano ? The piano is a key instrument on that rock mix.
Thanks a lot.
I have a question about room treatment. I'm a lucky guy in the sense that no one in the family likes the basement.
Therefore I get over 50% of it for me! My room is roughly 12' by 30'. I've set it up so my speakers fire down the long way.
My question is: How far back do I need to be concerned about reflections? At that distance, 30', should I be concerned
about absorption, reflections, diffusion? Would I be better of shortening the room?
Thanx.
i record with reaper, and use BARE layouts, opened script editor, and combined Shelving Filter with dynamic compressor with spectrum analysis, so that with any track recorded, uses minimum processing, and sculptable to the max with minimum effort. i love shelving filter for grabbing the lows and highs, and stuffing them where i want, compression for fattening or squishing, and a box that shows how the signal comes out :) badass and cpu use is VERY free now.
What happened to just dialing in the EQ from the console? Especially on Drums where you would have 8 to 14 mics coming in with maybe some being split into multiple channels for further processing, it's just so much swifter in terms of work flow. I never, ever record Drums flat. I want the clients to hear them and say "Wow." Geoff Emerick once said that he takes them half-way which sounds like a safe practice. He was also not a fan of outboard mic pre-amps. He just used what was in the recording desk. By the way, if all you have is software you can still print your mics EQed by bringing them in on Aux Tracks, slap an EQ on the Insert and route them to an Audio Track via Busses.
A good reverb, delay, eq. compressor, limiter, etc. and add some creative plugs in the mix.
I nearly missed this FAQ Friday episode, because I'm on holiday in Bulgaria, but my addiction to this channel & community refused to let me. If I may add something to the whole learning audio eng/mixing discussion. I've been recording with Cubase for years, but have made more progress in the last 6 months through this portal than at any other time. The truth Is I've picked up a lot of tips and techniques, bought new plugins, but that in itself didn't help, what has helped my the most is comprehension of the entire process AND making all the mistakes people on here are making. If it doesn't sound right, scrap it, start again. Break the habit of using a 'technique' - simply because you've learnt one, doesn't mean you should use it every time. If you think your music sounds thin, weak or underwhelming compared to professional releases, reference tracks, start examining in detail; gain-staging, level-matching, good metering, look at your peaks. transients, look into saturation, transient design and crest factor, and reference those professional recordings, especially the meter levels (once you've adjusted them as comparatively wit your own song). look into mastering, Ian Shepherd Production advice) featured on this channel has some excellent information for home mastering which will really open your eyes and ears and imho feeds back wonderfully in to your mixing. If you're going to use that new plugin; make sure you know what it is doing function-wise an parameter-wise, experiemnt maybe, but don't randomly twiddle, it will come back to haunt. If you've spent hours (or maybe days) mixing a song and it sounds like crap, start again, listen differently, that time spent wasn't all wasted, because you will have a better idea of what is not right, and when you go back and start again, your work flow will be much quicker anyway. Sometimes frustrating, but it's a wonderful sonic journey and your ears will thank you for the time you've invested
Hi Warren another great Saturday catchup OZ time! Back in the early 90's I worked in a hifi shop and witnessed the rise and rise of Surround sound. I fell in love with the THX standard and had many a debate that there were still better component's that were non THX. Whist I didn't disagree. knowing that a THX approved product had a minimum standard either for sound or audio plus a THX certified theatre also met minimum requirements meaning your SciFi movie should sound and look as the movie maker envisioned. So my question my friend is it time for a similar set of minimum standards, WHX, the Warren Huart Xperience! Perhaps a round table of your friends, Mr Alge for example, because quite frankly it is a minefield full of products that sometimes become expensive fails due to hype or misleading tech info. I would most certainly buy or try something you certified because you are passionately good bloke, Cheers Peter Manaena, Hobart. Tasmania
Hi Warren,
People call me “Mick the Vid” I am a songwriter, musician and singer, in G.B. I am a little upset with the usage of songs, that I have been involved in the co-writing and production of or that I know are still in copyright, in a most vulgar and insulting way by a “You-Tuber” Named “ Mr Cheswich”. Mr Cheswich claims on line his copyright of the songs, i.e. song "Copyright Cheswich Records" these parodies he produces using either karaoke backing tracks or the real tracks with the original vocals electronically removed and replaced with words describing the most adult of sexual acts. Many of these songs are children’s favourites, like “Rudolf the red nosed reindeer” and other famous and well loved songs. Would you please help me let him know he is not free from control to produce his gross content? Using nick names and some real names he has insulted many famous personalities and other content producers using foul language, sung and I use the term loosely, using constant reference to every sexual act known to man woman and dogs, I would like to think that with your input You-Tube will be able to control what seems to be really vulgar copyright infringements on their channel. .
All the best
Mick
I have an 8x8x8 booth that I handbuilt in my large backyard woodshed studio specifically because in LA it can get pretty loud outside. I’ve done a tone of research before getting into it and I’ve managed a pretty nice sounding booth for vocals, amps, etc.. However, it could sound better. Any advice on how you would get a booth this size to sound the best it can? Any specific absorption-diffusion tricks? Maybe share details of your tracking rooms/vocal booths?
Thanks always
Faq question: if a band wants a CD and an LP would you ever do two different mixes or would you let the mastering person deal with making 2 masters from the same mix? I've never had someone make 2 mixes in my bands, but as I'm recording stuff for myself for LP there are things to comply to the vinyl format that seem easier to solve in the mixing process, but it's also almost twice as much mixing work, and updating two files if I make any changes. Any advice on this?? Thanks for all your great videos!
Question for the FAQ:
When i mix my songs and hear them via the monitors (Adam A7X) they are
fine. When i hear them e.g. via the iPhone earplugs they are crap. I
tried to mix via the iPhone earplugs, which was strange as there were
frequencies lost as well. Is this a room-issue, or maybe an ear-issue?
I find that a common problem with to many plugins is that you think ”i NEED to EQ, i NEED to compress, i NEED this and that” and starting to add plugins i don’t even need. Not every track needs to be eq or whatever. Just do the tweeks that are nessesery.
Hello Warren, How do you approach recording, editing and mixing songs that are longer three and half minutes? I recently worked with a group that had many songs that were longer than 5 minutes even a few longer than 10 minutes.
Eric
frankly, since I started putting a console emulation across all my tracks ie: brainworxx ssl E for instance, I use that to do my heavy lifting so to speak and I find I use way fewer plugs...mostly buss comp or an 1176 on the bass or overheads...I actually try to mix with the limitations of a real studio..otherwise, most studios don't have that many outboard pieces so they have to decide where to put these units..I do the same..I'm not going to put any plug except for the console across every track because it just isn't realistic to real world situations
Great Video! I had 2 laugh - used the whole weekend to fix a piano sound with endless plugins - so tell me more about it. (should have seen this earlier) It's crazy - I don't get the sound I want to - it sounds always different. My headphones and hte speakers are quite different sounding - I wonder what I can do to make the sound on both sound good. The speakers aren't that great but they sound fine with "professional" music so there have to be a way. ^_^*
Where is the best place to place a room mic with recording a rock band? Along with amps and P.A. In the Room?
Another angle on the plugins: If, like Warren says, you're using one plugin to fix an issue and introducing another issue, and so on and so on, you might just be going overboard with the first plugin. Try dialing it back a bit.
Do people find the right guitar or does the right guitar find the player ? Oh and please try the Kazrog " True Iron". I've no connection to them at all, it does the sound of "transformers" really rather well though.
Hi Warren. Really enjoy yr vids. I would like to know how in these days of bedroom producers and less available studio spaces how does one looking to get into the world of sound engineering, gain experience, or even a foot in the door? Many thanks.
Any suggestions on ways to slow down an artist who in their head is moving from idea to idea faster than you can set up gear, without killing their burst of creative ideas? Example: Fading in some feedback to build up a bridge might sound cool, but I no sooner grab a mic for the guitar amp and then we're discussing a piano high part in the background. I love the creativity, and don't want to stifle it, but want to avoid the rabbit hole and every song becoming the middle of "a day in the life".
I hope you are marvelously well also? I always wonder how the creators of recording techniques feel about the one knob solutions that modern "producers" over use today? Are they ok doing a plug in with their name on it and enjoy royalties for life or do they find this "immediate solution" producing annoying? Cheers!
I never Time Align my Drum Tracks unless there is a hit that is so ridiculously off with the rest of the Band that it would ruin an otherwise perfect take. But that's an interesting thing you are doing with the Time Adjuster and multiple mics. Did anyone bother with that when they were recording to tape? These days it doesn't make any difference, as the Mixer is only going to replace your sounds with samples in the end!
Hello guys, I have a problem, probably with headphones. When I`m sending audio only to the one side, it is also on the other side, but much more quite. Is this a thing? Can some headphones have bleed from one side to another? Or is that something else?
Thanks for all suport 😍
You Rock!!
Hello Any sound proofing tips on a budget that actual work. Or do you just have to bite the bullet I do it right . As until I can gets this done effectively getting any recorded done is going to be an issue. Once again this weeks FF has been marvellous Cheers to all.
i have been watching your videos and they are extremely helpful. i am a former musician/song writer who went wall street 20 years ago after starting a family. iI have never lost my passion and recently say over the last 12 months i have built quite a nice home studio, problem is i have so many song ideas but i find my self constantly adding to the studio, new patch bays new hardware but its like I'm waiting for something to just start putting my ideas on tracks. does the madness ever stop. lol lost in gear.
Interesting questions. I think if you use many plugins on one track that's totally okay but than use every single one veeeery subtle only. Have joy and be sound.
Hey Warren, What is your "spec" distance between the snare and overhead mics? In other words; how many inches from the snare to the over heads have you found to work most of the time? Thanks.
When it comes to Plug-Ins, like everything else, you do what is necessary. If I see a nice little stack forming I'll go back and start taking them in and out of Bypass to determine whether or not I really need this one or that one, but I've never had to tear down and start from scratch because I have a pretty good idea of what I am going for. Sometimes the result is more pleasing with fewer, but some of that might be the satisfaction you get knowing that you accomplished this without a lot of processing.
i stepped into a studio years back. so i have just a keyboard project studio. for me its for life.
I am using plug ins like ott to raise my db but it creates a Hum... how do I get nice crisp rap vocals without accidentally boosting up frequencies that hum n make esser sounds that the desser does not catch ? Pls help
Yes, that is helpful to keep, thinking of the whole sound, and what that's about. You are the wizard with the drums. 🙏🏻 Thank you! 🙂
Are You Using Too Many Plugins? No - I record to tape and don't use a computer at all.
I have question about a delay effect im having problems getting my head around. I hear the term dotted 8th note delay but my delay does not have this option but has the 16th triplet option but what's is the difference and do you favour one over the other.
God those white monitors are pretty. I had my eye on them after your review video and didn’t realize the white ones were a limited run. Maybe that explains why Zzounds isn’t offering the white ones in a pair. I want them even without hearing them.
Very good tips! This will help a ton of people including myself.
I could really use the Kali LP-6 monitors. Please?
Please explain what is it that I must do to win those Kali's gosh I would very much use the upgrade 😢
I already have and use the white LP6 since 2 Month and they blow me away ... they are awesome !!!
Question: Do you bus lead vocals & bgvs separately or do you all send to the same bus? Or sometimes both?
Hi warren, huge fun of the channel. How do you deal with a band who do not play or never played to a click? Thanks!
