Hi Everyone i’ve got a big birthday coming up and want to buy some new gear. I currently produce house music using Ableton on my PC. My soundcard is an internal card which is pretty bog standard. I produce using headphones only as my two kids wouldn’t be able to sleep, im currenlty using a pair of senheiser HD25. On my mixdowns i burn them to CD and try them in the car, home stereo etc but i’m not happy at all with the sound.
i’m looking to improve my sound -
So new headphone? or are the ones i have good enough?
Is my sound poor as i’m using a bog standard internal sound card - do i need to go to an external one to get better sound quality.
Will the new focusrite VRM be an option with the headphones at getting a better sound?
Thanks for the feedback. I do understand that monitor speakers are the better option but with two small children and a nagging wife lol!!! its not really an option.
I just picked up the VRM today along with some KRK 8400 headphones (exchanged fro
m roland RH300) - I have KRK rokit 5’s in my stydio but I also have a child and nagging mrs so my plan is to spilt between both.
I have a audio kontrol 1 in my studio but just use the internal on my laptop. So I’ll let you know the differents and how good the VRM box is when I get stuck in over the next couple of days
Cheers Wayne - that would be great. Let me know as i’m very interested in this little VRM. Let me know about the headphones as well. Its not an option to have montiors in my studio as it has to be shared with 200 childrens toys! and two kids!!
KRK 8400 seem pretty good, well 1st impressions anyway, i like then better then my old rolands stright away. As for the VRM, well I’m not sure what to make of it yet… sound a bit funny. Not sure what to do with it! but I’m gonna start something now and then transfer to my studio - if I dont have to completely remix down everything then we’re good!
