Why are there several pairs of monitor speakers in the recording studio- two
The lower limit of low frequency replay is determined by the size of the bass unit. The bass fundamental frequency of Bass is 41 Hz, the 5-inch bass can dive to about 55 Hz, and the 6-inch bass can reach about 45 Hz. Mixing on the near-field speaker with small bass size (less than six inches), it is difficult to manage the low frequency of songs as easily as in the mid-and far-field monitor speaker, and the low frequency is the foundation of the whole music. Therefore, when mixing on the near-field monitor speaker, we should be particularly careful about the processing of low frequency. [Chinese dubbing]
It is difficult to deal with the level like the bass of the kick drum because it is difficult to perform well on the small near-field monitoring. So mixing should start at least six inches, and eight inches is the most ideal. However, for general arrangement, music appreciation and application scenarios where there are no strict requirements for low-frequency performance, the accuracy of 5-inch and 6-inch near-field monitoring is also sufficient.
This type of speakers is not used for mixing. The mixing is mainly used for near-field and medium-field speakers, and is not suitable for listening to songs. It is used to compare and correct errors when the recording and mixing has reached a certain stage and [English dubbing] is in a bottleneck. The representative models of error correction speaker are: YAMAHA NS10, Auratones 5C, Avantone MixCube. The comparison and error correction speakers mentioned above are very unpleasant and basically have no musical taste, but can easily reveal the problems in the works, such as the defects in frequency, the imbalance in proportion, and so on. Therefore, it is also necessary to compare the error correction speakers in the mixing room.
Professional recording studios usually have at least one pair of main monitoring speakers and one pair of near-field monitoring speakers. A relatively mature home studio should also have at least two pairs of near-field monitor speakers, or use a pair of 8-inch monitor speakers as the main monitor speakers, and then be equipped with a set of error detection speakers. [Animation dubbing]
Because there is no perfect pair of speakers in the world. Different types and sizes have their advantages as well as disadvantages. Therefore, it is often necessary to repeatedly compare and listen to a mix on more than two pairs of speakers. Multiple pairs of monitoring speakers can form a mutually corroborating effect, facilitating error detection and balancing.
Most of the problems of mixing works are related to the monitoring environment and the placement of monitoring speakers. If the wrong voice is heard for a long time, the subjective standardized hearing will also be damaged. Many people have been monitoring speakers at home for several years, and the placement of speakers has not been correct. Whenever I see a pair of expensive speakers randomly placed by an enthusiast, I secretly laugh.
