    This video explains so much about sound and physics before even getting to reviews that it is an object lesson in communication.
    Not a word is wasted, enunciation is perfect, there is no hyperbole and only a couple of references to musicians one might know about or not. Subscription thoroughly earned.
    This man makes sense.

    As a former teacher and current video production owner....well done.....I am dipping my toe in the world of mixing and making simple beats and music - and this video was really helpful. Short, simple but packed with so much information. Kudos!

    Let's be clear: your choice of speakers can make or break your music production. While the KRKs are undoubtedly excellent for dance music, the Yamahas and Adams offer superior versatility for mixing across genres. Here's the crucial point: regardless of which brand you choose, what truly matters is developing an intimate understanding of your speakers. This knowledge is the key to achieving professional-quality mixes. By investing time in learning your equipment inside and out, you'll consistently produce better results than someone with more expensive gear but less familiarity. Trust me, this approach will elevate your production game significantly. And speaking of quality content, that video was spot-on - packed with valuable insights for producers at all levels. Nice video Thozi

    Just a tip guys. I have owned the AT-m40 and m50x respectively. I would advice on spending the extra money and getting the m50x. The build quality is better, and sounds more clean.

    • @KritarthMalviya
      @KritarthMalviya 2 місяці тому

      I think m50x are a bit harsh on the higher end. So, while mixing people tend to reduce the high frequencies of the song. But when you listen on a big speaker, all that treble goes away.

    imo music sounds much better with studio monitors. I get stand the bass boosting that is in for example jbl's. Also the better/complicated the music is the better it sounds on studio monitors imo.

  • @djoetma
    @djoetma 5 місяців тому

    So I guess as a music producer you'd be looking into studio monitors. Do you also have an opinion on non-studio options people should buy based on a certain musical preference?
    I would really love to see what a guy like you would recommend. Or is it that as a creator yourself, you don't appreciate dynamic tuning and want to know what the insights of a creator is and therefore consider more neutral sounding options per definition superior to options with dynamic tuning?

    I had the adam audio t5v‘s but ive sent them back because of the hiss (it was so bad especially in my small room and the little distance, couldnt unhear it). Which monitors would you recommend, which has no hiss also in minimal distance? And is 3,5 inches too small for making rap and rnb beats? My Room is really small so i dont know if there is any sense in buying bigger speakers if i cant turn them on…
    sry for the amount of questions 😅 would really appreciate an answer
    and great video 👍🏻

      it's usually caused by dust or impurities on the jack somewhere between your monitors, cable, interface or computer. hum, on the other hand, is usually caused by electrical current flow through one of the components in this link between software and speaker. bad preamps can also cause unclean whitenois or pinknoise. In genereal: pulling up sound in an audio, also pulls up the quiet parts and every quiet part always has some background noise, which is basically the "room around the Audio" where it was recorded. if you hear a record of "nothing" its is the same: "nothing" that is amplified = noisy hiss. at least if we are talking about hardware amplification unless it really has been removed completely and cleaned out of the Data. The situation is completely different with software aplification, because in the proces of transfering sound between PC & Speaker, there is no hardeware involved with such "Interference noise charackteristics". Oh, & also check your settings and Drivers, in Win/UX/MAC/& DAW-Software, they should all match in terms of bufferlengh, latency (if you areable to messure it, but not as important, if not too crazy high [usually 10-20ms in most cases is fine]) & the Resampling quality. In this chain/link however you wann call it. Never had issues again..
      so i would rather look at these points and give it a try first, before suspecting the monitors. often they are not even the problem.

    The size of the woofer/speaker has nothing to do with the size of the room! If you don't want to hear frquecyes below 60Hz it's fine to go with 5 inch monitors! If you wanna hear dow to 40Hz and maybe a litle down (depending on model) you need 8 inch minimum!!! There are some smaller model that go down there but they are forced and that not give a precise representation of the bass, also the heavy cone movement of a small speaker that go so down, it distort the mids, so a larger and powerfull woofer will have very litle movement of the cone so result in cleaner mids! So if you room is small, turn the volume down don't go smaller! I have a 3 way monitors for even cleaner response and those have an 8 inch woofer (Kali IN-8 to be speciffic). Not to mention that my studio is small... 3.3/3m (about 11/10ft). So if you can, I recomend 3 way monitors (anything but not KRK 😁).
    I hope my comment does not offend anyone. Cheers!

      ​@@thozimusic I had to pause and go... Now I've seen the rest of the video. Aaaand... Yamaha HS series have nothing to do with NS10 other than some "looks like" kind of! I know I am not famous in anyways and I am mostly humble, but I think I had to mention that I have over 25 years of producing, acoustic treatment, PA sound, audio equipment production and more in the audio field. So I am not arrogant, just talking from experience, but I can also be wrong, obviously! So it is best that one to research very well before making a decision! Cheers! BTW, nice videos you have... You have a new subscriber! 🤭
