Bookshelf speakers

[RondaWW]

A bit off the topic, but I need you healp!

I’m looking for new bookshelf speakers, budget – $250

I was reccomended to read some reviews , but I still can’t choose!

Is it better to buy them in local store or on Amazon? Second variant seems easier, I like shoppin online.

So what are your reccomendations? what speaker do you have?

When it comes to buying monitors, the only thing you should be trusting is your ears. Yes, buying online seems effortless, but that lack of effort in finding a set of speakers that you will have to mix music through can come back to bite you if you find the speakers you bought, despite glowing reviews (which I am often leery of – I tend to look right up the middle), grate your ears like 50 grit sandpaper, and you find yourself repeating the process, possibly more than once.

Best to go to your nearest pro-audio store and audition a number of speakers with some of your favourite tracks. You want a pair that will reveal everything about your mix, as opposed to a glorified pair of Hi-Fi speakers.

I’ve been mixing through a pair of Yorkville YSM5’s (along with a YSS subwoofer) for 15 or so years. I found them the exact same way I mentioned above, and my ears have been happy with them since the beginning.

Hi there! I have two physical midi devices (QuNeo and U-Control) connected to my Mac via USB. I’m running MicroTonic 3 as VST in Ableton and I’m trying to map certain knobs to MicroTonic controls. It turns out that MicroTonic listens to midi sent only from QuNeo device, while ignores everything from U-Control. Both devices are working in Ableton, so that’s not an issue with DAW/connection. I need some solution to be able to map midi from both devices, or at least from U-Control device, while still having both devices connected.
