Hey guys! I'm new here.
I'm a music producer since many years but always just put all my focus on starting new tracks and not finishing a lot of them and never really took it serious enough to think properly about acoustics etc. I used to live in Berlin where I had a pair of Adam A7X speakers and BEYERDYNAMIC DT-880 PRO headphones. I sold the speakers and the headphones because I needed the money some years ago, but now I'm looking to buy a pair of new studio monitors since I already bought new headphones, the Sennheiser 660S and a subpac. If you think Audeze lcd-xc headphones would be better for producing and mixing then I would be ok with saving up for thoose, or if you know anything better, pls let me know, I just saw that Tony Anderson are using thoose. I'm making various electronic music (techno/house/rnb/hiphop). I have bought sonarworks mic (calibration for speakers and headphones but haven't used it yet), so I am slowely preparing for putting together a lil' studio.
My room is 3m 54cm x 3m 80cm and 3m in height. Attached a drawing of the room. It's a room I'm renting in a house and I can't drill or anything, so if I have to put up absorbtion in the ceiling then I am prepared to buy or build some type of wooden frame and have things hanging somehow being attached to that frame.
The speakers that has gotten most of my attention so far when I have been looking around is the Neumann Kh series, JBL 308 mkii, Genelec 8030c, Kali LP & IN series, IK Multimedia iLoud MTM, Dynaudio LYD series, Yamaha HS8 or the Yamaha HS5 + HS8S, Auratone 5C Active, used NS-10's, Adam A7V etc. No clue what to get, only speakers or subwoofer also? I am very open to suggestions, other brands as well . I think I would prefer speakers that sounds good on low volume, I might put up the volume once in a while but mostly I will probably play the music not too loud due to I have a flatmate in the next room.
I live at the moment in the south of Spain, so if anyone knows where I could travel to listen to all the best headphones and speakers, like a music gear exhibition place/trade show or music store that offers good listening options, please let me know, I'm thinking about maybe going to Thomann but not sure if it's worth it? I am ready save up, but at the moment my salary is not the best.
I'm thinking about filling up the gym equipment with sand, think it could help or do I have to get ridd of the whole thing?
Maybe the closet could be used as some type of absorption if I open the doors? As soon as I have bought a speaker I will do this test that Jesco (this guy who does acoustics videos on youtube) talks about, emptying the whole room and placing one speaker on the bottom in the corner and see where to find the best sweetspot before placing furnitures. I guess I will put the speakers on stands. Think it's ok to fill up these cheap triangle speaker stands with sand? I've seen people talking about ISO-Puck Mini etc but it's not necessary if I have them on a stand, or? Seen different opinions about that.
So many questions....I need your help guys : )
