Engineer Mastering Question-VS- Home PC Speakers
Engineer Mastering Question-VS- Home PC Speakers.
I’m working with a very low budget and I would like some good advice on mastering with Home Theater Speakers with a small subwoofer or would I need a subwoofer to master with. Also is it possible to hook up a Home Theater system to my digi 002. I was considering buying a complete Home Theater system. What I’ve Tried At Home First. I’ve tried to hook up my 3 way computer speakers to my digi 002, that work fine but only one thing with wrong. I only here the Left speaker and the subwoofer and not the Right speakers So I took a look in the back of my computer subwoofer and it only has a Left Front plug and the subwoofer is the blue control in. So there is no right channel. So I’m thinking does computer supply store make a converter for the 9 Pin to convert over to and audio RCA plug. So I think that I could here the Right & Left Subwoofer Speaker. If so, could I master with my computer speaker? Or should I buy a Home Theater System for about $500.00 Bucks Or Open for Options on the correct way to master with mastering speakers. |

buy a pair of studio monitors
there is no cheep way around it (cheep-er pairs but still never going to be cheep) IF you must you can use 'theater' speakers, however especially if you buy a package you would have to pay alot more to get good 1s and they will never be acurate |

I happen to have a set of KRK V6's for sale, which would suite your needs quite nicely. No hard sell here, believe me. I just bought a set of V8's.
You don't want to mix on surround speakers. You don't want to mix on computer speakers. [email protected] if interested

Yep...You'll need good speakers, you just won't have the headroom req for PT on domestic speakers. They'll probably last about 1 month. Buy monitors...its worth it.
