Check me on this. Tracking monitors should help you hear the track, period. Mixing monitors should help your hear the mix, and mastering monitors should help you hear what everybody else will hear, I suppose. These are different goals.I've mixed a lot of records on a lot of fine monitors. Recently, I bought a pair of Renkus Heinz sr82's because the technology in the horns and their lab process for making them was...what I wanted. They were not built as mixing monitors and I didn't plan on using them that way. In short, when I put a spectrum analyzer on them they were much flatter in the high end and mids than several venerable monitors, and the horns were so transparant and articulate that I had to go out and buy another copy of "Take 5" just to see what it was really like. I could hear the spit in Pual Desmond's horn. The articulation on a compression driver/wave guide done right is better than any tweeter based monitor I've heard (I have not heard them all), and i can hear stuff I don't hear with very expensive monitors - so maybe comparing Alesis to mackie etc. is rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. Maybe there's stuff out there that's not monitors that do a better job than monitors. Any thoughts?
