Do it.

They aren't far from flat

up to +4 and down -5 dB over the spectrum is far from flat from modern standpoints, since even a cheap entry level monitor is flatter these days. also the fact that they have no bass at all does not help

>not true. A mate of mine has had a original pair since the 90’s. I’ve spent many many hours back then listening to them. They sounded pretty flat back then.

>they don't sound like any modern near field monitor
I wasn’t comparing them to any modern near field, but that’s probably why as I said in my previous post they are often found next to other monitors in the studio for cross reference. There wouldn’t be much point cross referencing them if they sounded the same.
So back to my original post which was about knowing the monitors/speakers/headphones you use rather than worrying too much about the fact that they aren’t perfect. This applies (again in my opinion) much more to those who are newer to production or haven’t got the funds to drop thousands of pounds on some top quality monitors. I mean even if you get to the point where you want to record an album you could go hire a studio with nice monitors and go do your mixes there. For the rest of us we mostly produce at home in badly treated acoustic rooms in less than ideal situations. I hardly even use my monitors for production now as I live in a flat with paper thin walls

I apologize for the break boys, but I only work on weekends and work is where the autism comes out get ready for the shitting up of these threads

P.S. Fruity Parametric AS 2 has the best workflow because you can adjust Q with the mousewheel and can change shapes by hardly moving your mouse

Recommend me a good software synth for Logic/Mac that can beat ES2/Alchemy
They're both useful but I feel like I'm in a fucking rut with them lately

Alchemy is pretty hard to beat. I think you need to turn your focus away from looking outwards to getting a new synth and focus inwards on why you’ve become creatively stumped?

I went from Alchemy to Serum.

Alchemy was the first synth I actually learned all the way through (I had it as my phones lock/home screen for a year lmao) so believe me I know how awesome that thing is. I miss the arpeggiator and the awesome ass envelopes, as well as the ridiculous unison and ability to pan harmonics in the additive part, but I just found I was making much more usable sounds much faster in serum. The workflow in serum to me is much better, and for some reason it sounds more warm and inviting than sounds I got with alchemy. Honestly though I kind of forgot how much I love that synth until now tho so I may be coming back to it now thatvyiuve asked this

Is Garageband adequate for recording and mixing indie/rock/folk type music?

I see a decent amount of lo-fi or indie musicians using it, but does it really lack in some aspects that things like FL or Pro Tools give you?
