Are you wondering what all the fuss is about when it comes to studio monitors? Do you really need them? Why can’t you use any speakers? How big do they need to be? If any of these questions sound familiar, you’ve come to the right place. In this studio monitor video course, studio wiz Alberto Rizzo Schettino will demystify the topic of studio monitors and separate fact from fiction. You’ll learn the difference between nearfield and farfield monitors, what’s best for your space, and how to voice your speakers properly, along with plenty of other tips to help you make the most of your space and speakers, both of which will result in mixes that translate better everywhere! These studio monitor videos are designed for those looking to purchase their first studio monitors or possibly upgrade and would like to know more on the subject. Alberto welcomes you and briefly discusses what will be covered in the course, so you’ll know what to expect. He then starts by discussing nearfield monitors (such as the ADAM Audio A7V) and explains why they’re called that, what are some of their typical features, and why so many engineers still mix on these smaller (by comparison) speakers. Then you’ll learn the fundamentals of speaker placement so you can find the optimal spot for your speakers in your room.
