Hi all!
For a while I've been mixing on my DT-770 headphones, but I believe it's time to step up my game and finally invest in some studio monitors, as well as some basic room treatment.
I'm on a budget so I'm not going top tier, but, after some extensive research I've found the JBL LSR305's seem to be the best bang for your buck in my price range.
Also my new studio space is a 12x10 room so I think the size of the speaker is perfect. Anyone else here use these monitors? I've heard nothing but good things from them. My initial budget was around $500 but after hearing the JBL's, what they can do, and their outrageously good price point, I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on them ... Unless any of you awesome people here can convince me otherwise
Also, I'm currently using a Scarlett Solo interface, which has been great.
But considering its outputs are limited to RCA, I'm afraid if I stick with the Solo once I purchase and hook up the new monitors, I may not be getting the highest audio quality possible. Would upgrading to a better interface such as the Scarlett 2i2 be worth it? I'd like to avoid having to upgrade my interface if I can, but if it's truly worth it then I'm more than willing to make that upgrade too.
Thanks in advance!
