MONITORING HELP!!
![Post Post](styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
hey, i got some general newbie confusion going on with monitoring.
it seems really confusing to me how to go about it...
say you get some studio monitors that you like the sound of. now they are slightly colored a certain way, as all monitors don't sound alike, right?
so now you mix with these, get things how you want, only to burn your tracks on CD, play them on your crappy home stereo to find it sounds completely different (b/c you're home stereo isn't $2000 monitors!). or you play it in your car and now it sounds another way b/c these speakers have their own charachteristics...then your friend's stereo sounds different too.!!!
see what i mean? i'm guessing it's less confusing then i'm making it, but i'm at a loss as what to shoot for...
any ideas/input?
