I think any studio monitor would work. The idea is for a flat response. Not to avoid the question, but monitors have been hammered out many times before in the Music&Tech chat and if you run a search on "monitors", you're sure to come up with quite a bit.

I've heard it all now...

How long before someone asks "what cables do I need for progressive intelligent deep euphoric trance???"

Well? What cables? I think that's the problem with my progressive intelligent deep euphoric trance -- it's got too much of that "country rock cable" sound.

hmm.. i can get you some really woody laid back sounding cables at a good price. also i have access to super punchy upfront cabling. just aks man. or get them cables from wacky kovacy (real cablist). cable is cable, none makes your signal any better, it just makes it worse in varying degrees. happy? that said, the mackie hr824's f*cking kick.

Woody! No shit? Let Sitar know. Actually what I need to spring for is one of those Elco-to-TRS- jack snakes so I get from board to ADAT balanced and at +4. But car repair just ate my 'quipment budget fer a while.

Anyway, the type of monitors has nuttin' to do with the type of music. You're looking for something both detailed and uncolored so you really know what the frequencies are doing and you can mix from there. A mix on a good set of monitors will be portable, that is, good sounding on the large variety of systems out there in the real world. Do what Mister DZ said, Swoosh.

deep euphoric trance is all you have to say. It is usually intelligent, and always progressive (pop-style aside)

its actually the colour of the midi cables, not the Mac that makes all the difference. Green is good for trance methinks, but yellow is definately preferable for the drum and bass stylee.

man there are some great tips going down here, have you ever tried resting all you equipment on it's side to get a better bass? it aint so good for techno though.. I find a cactus on each speaker helps to soak up the bad vibes in a track.. but you need to mic up you speakers to get the full effect..

keep em coming!

It all depends on which shop you buy your gear from. You'll get better trance sounds out of your Nova if you get it from Digital Village. For real deep bass, check Dawsons. I got my Nord from Turnkey but it was no good for ambient-techno, so I returned it and got another one from the M-Corp. Sounds great.

ah bugger, been found out. Gotta go, Rons colostomy bag needs changing ;) Oh, and I must remember to change the formaldehyde in the jar we keep his brain in, its starting to smell a bit. Funny really, we pickled it in 1968 and nobody noticed any differnce..........including me.......except from the fact he stopped using his car-keys to pick the wax out of his ear.

I think those kid rode what we call "the short bus."

Do you guys have "the short bus" on that side of the pond or is it a U.S. "innovation"?

DZ, I wish I was that young and stupid again sometimes, but then again...

Ah, Damballah. I said I COULD do it, not I SHOULD do it. I'd pull a few muscles and be laid up for a week if I tried that shit now. :-)

And what the heck is a short bus?

Maybe it's a midwestern thang. See, the normal kids would ride to school on the regular sized bus and the "special" or "learning difficulties" kids would get there on a school bus that looks the same but only has like six rows of seats and a reallly patient driver. Therefore, by saying someone rode the short bus means they're, oh, "special."

And then they grow up to produce trance. hehehe.
