okay, now I've just purchased the HR 824 monitors...

...soon will be selling the Event 20/20bas'


I've also ordered Auralex sound treatment materials. I'll be on the studio standard so that when I do mix a track it will hit much close in a pro-studio/mastering house.

Aherdat!! I'm getting there as well. My own room, just need the accoustic treatments. Some egg crates to absorb standing waves - luckily, the room is not a box (I got 45 degree angles on two sides). Anyone know where I can get some cheap? Auralex only comes in boxes of 12 - I think 6 would be too much...any thoughts?

Markertek, man. They got a variety of that stuff. And cables and connectors. Lots of shit. I got a shitload of 2 foot squares of 2 inch foam from a friend who works shipping and receiving and the delicate stuff they deal with comes in boxes lined with the shit. Just picked over the cleanest pieces. Someone said, I don't remember who, soundwaves don't care about the brand name of what absorbs 'em. Deadened up the drum/vocal/whatever room real nice.

(but the proper stuff is a certain density & s'posed to be better... dunno if it is tho

I've checked Markertek, and they look fine, looking for other opinions. I'm also thinking about industrial sound absortion, like for machinery and such. Insulation maybe is what they do, rather than accoustical treatments. But you never know. I've got to add more carpet, and I'd prefer to not have to hang a bunch of tapestry type things on the walls. Although, that would certainly be more attractive...
