Theyre relatively cheap.

Pretty much all professional producers know of these headphones. They will play mainstream music just how the producers in the studios heard it. A lot of them will have even used them in the studio.

alternatively for even cheaper

The sound quality is really great. The poor reviews are from people who've bought them and have had them die.

you wont find anything that produces a better sound quality than these for their respective price ranges.\

Bonus is that theyre not USB so you dont have to worry about some kind of shitty driver. Theyre plug in and enjoy.

P.S. actual speakers that are meant for music production arent called speakers, but "Monitor speakers" or just "monitors"

Heres a suggestion if you want actual monitors https://www.amazon.com/KRK-RP5G3-NA-Generation-Powered-Monitor/dp/B00FX7MMRO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483916151&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=rokit+krk+5

u/GramboLazarus · 10 points r/realdubstep

IMHO: A subwoofer isn't optional when it comes to dubstep. You'll be missing all the low-end (which let's be honest, is why we're all here) if you omit a decent sub from you set up. As far as amps (I call these receivers) go, you'd probably be best off visiting your local pawn shop or anywhere you can get pre-owned electronics and picking something up. I got mine for under $100CAD and it has power to spare. For ease of set-up I'd suggest finding something with dedicated subwoofer outputs on the back. As for speakers, these or these will do right by you. Personally I use this subwoofer, and it has the juice to have my entire house shaking. Wires are pretty much standard in my experience as long as you're talking about a simple home listening system. These wires would do fine for your needs. If you want a proper listening experience dont use bluetooth speakers, and dont skimp on a subwoofer.

Hope that helps, my dude!

This shit is gonna blow any Mac Pro away. In fact, it'll blow everything away. You better have a backup generator. And you better know what you're getting into smh. Btw, I have no idea whether this is Hackintosh-compatible. Asus motherboards can be tricky but if you're going to invest this much money you might as well invest the time to set it all up. Or hire someone. Whatever. Oh, and still cheaper than a "comparable" (lol, it doesn't compare) Mac Pro by like, $4000. Buy yourself a render farm. Or more than one computer. Or the Apple Store.

Time for the render node! You only really need a processor and stuff that fits with it. I went barebones with this, and stuffed it all into the smallest case I could while leaving breathing room for cooling. You can stack these on top of each other. Better yet, buy an IKEA drawer set and put them in drawers. Remember to carve out the back to allow for air to escape and to manage cables. Voila! Your own render farm, nicely tucked next to your desk.

Disclaimer: I got the render-farm-in-drawers idea from this guy. I saw it on a blog like year or two ago, I had no idea he started a website. Check it out!

RECOMMENDED PERIPHERALS

For video editing, gaming, and general use, I recommend the following monitor because it isn't glossy (fuck glare!), is LED-backlit, has IPS technology for amazing viewing angles and color reproduction, is HDMI-compatible, 1080p, has a fast response time (5 ms), and is relatively affordable (about $160 USD street.)

If you want headphones, check these out. They're great middle-range headphones that are good for music, gaming, and other general use.

If you're doing audio work, I recommend using monitors for accurate sound-reproduction and to avoid coloring your mixes. A ton of people I know swear by these. Remember to treat your room! There are great tips and guides for all genres of music over at r/edmproduction. Don't let the name fool you; they have some great stuff for everyone.

In terms of mice, any will do; I personally recommend this one, though.

In terms of keyboards, use whatever you're comfortable with. I know a lot of people swear by mechanical keyboards, especially keyboards that have CherryMX keys. I personally hate them because I'm far more accurate with chiclet keyboards. However, I plan to change my key caps to some that are shallower/need to be pressed harder to register (I currently have Cherry MX Reds, want to switch to Browns). The great thing about mechanical keyboards is that they are customizable! If you are used to Apple Keyboards, this keyboard should provide a good balance between the feel of chiclet keys and that of a mechanical keyboard.

If you're balking at these prices, you're not alone. Unfortunately, quality products mean shelling out hard-earned moolah. If you can afford it and think it will be valuable to you, I think these products should work well for their intended purposes and have good quality. I have personally used all of these products. Of course, don't take my word for it; look around r/buildapc, r/headphones, and r/edmproduction for more recommendations.

u/Swazland · 3 points r/Beatmatch

The build quality of the KRK's is not evident when you use them, but it absolutely shows when they stop working. They have the reputation of having substantially higher failure rates compared to other products that they compete with, according to professional retailers who repair them all the time. Rokits are popular and trendy, but they aren't built with the same quality as Yamahas. Regarding the flat response, if you're looking for a sound system with more color, I'm not sure that I would necessarily go with KRK's or studio monitors over other products, as studio monitors are designed to give you a neutral sound.

I sold my KRKs and bought Paradigm Shift A2s and am tremendously happy that I did.

Let me draw a small comparison between the two products through amazon reviews. While both are great products with great ratings, you'll see some evidence of what I'm trying to get across when you look at non-5 star reviews.

KRK Rokit 8's on amazon have worse reviews than the 5s, and have fewer ratings, but regarding reliability and build quality we can assume that they are at least equal to Rokit 5s. The Rokits have 76% 5 star ratings, 10% 4 star ratings, and 14% 1, 2 and 3 star ratings. When you dig into the reviews, people complain about them failing after several months, or having other reliability problems.

Yamaha HS8s are more reviewed, and have higher ratings across the board. 89% of customers have them 5 stars, 7% have given them 4 stars, and only 4% have given them 1, 2 or 3 stars but with no mention of problems regarding serious performance issues.

Of course, these amazon reviews only say so much, but hopefully you understand the idea that I'm trying to get across. KRK cuts corners with QC and it's very evident in the big picture, there are other brands to look into with a bit of research.

KRK Rokit 5 G3 are amazing for their price.

XLR-to-TRS cables, get two of these as well. The 2i2 connects to monitors via 1/4", and the KRKs themselves can use XLR, 1/4", or RCA.

u/BaronDuke · 3 points r/audiophile

Hey there, I was told to post my question here, so here it is.

What are some good alternatives to the Audioengine A5+ speakers? Under 400 dollars.

I like the audioengines because they're small and they have a nice classy reserved look to them. But I hear they aren't the best and I could do better, for cheaper.
It's been suggested I pick up the Rokits over here:
http://www.amazon.com/KRK-RP5G3-NA-Generation-Powered-Monitor/dp/B00FX7MMRO/ref=pd_cp_MI_1
They're much cheaper than the Audioengines. The thing is that they're hideous. The yellow ruins them for me.
Also the Audioengines seem to come with all the cables, a remote and a front volume knob. Not sure the Rokits have any of that.
Alternatives would be within 400 dollars. Preferably less.
Unless I pick up an amp and bookshelf speakers, but again, I have no idea what's good.
Note I'm not looking for any big boomy bass. I just want the music to be clear, and sound much better than what I've heard before. Which have been a pair of Beats my brother bought me (I know they are overrated, but he gets a huge discount on them).
I also know that Audioengines are desktop monitors, but I'd be using them to fill a small living room kitchen combo (16' - 2" x 18' - 8"). Source is a turntable. Maybe the occassional iPod or laptop.

u/the_blue_wizard · 2 points r/audio

That is very very lean for a GOOD Audio system. Personally I don't like the typical computer (Logitech, Creative Audio, etc...) 2.1 speaker sets. If you want a good system get full sized bookshelf speakers like these -

Edifier R2000DB - Walnut - $250/pair -

https://www.amazon.com/Edifier-R2000DB-Bluetooth-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B01CDU3IAI/

5" bass driver, very good power, Analog and Optical In, Bluetooth capability, and a Remote Control.

The are more basic, but good quality Studio Monitors that would fit your needs.

The KRK Rokit 5 are very popular, but $299/pr but with fewer features -

https://www.amazon.com/KRK-RP5G3-NA-Generation-Powered-Monitor/dp/B00FX7MMRO/

Mackie MR5 MKII are also considered good at $299/pr -

https://www.amazon.com/Mackie-MR5mk3-5-Inch-Powered-Monitors/dp/B00EUISUGE/

In this style of speaker you want at least 5" (130mm) bass driver. Some are available in 6.5" and 8". But that is our decision to make.

u/Edgeward · 2 points r/WeAreTheMusicMakers

I've used Kontakt for some film scoring (I've dabbled in short film scoring) for its great third party plugins. Lots of nice stuff dedicated strictly to different genres and styles of film.
I'd definitely recommend it although it's sort of in the mid price range, you do get what you pay for.
In my opinion I think you're best off upgrading your DAW. For film scoring in particular, ProTools is industry standard and it works wonders and has a plethora of beautiful utilities with a buttload of support for it.
In my experience Ableton Live has worked great too if you're a little tight on the wallet. So you could pick that up for quite a bit cheaper and is still very good.

Ableton's layout and workflow works great for me personally, especially when it comes to the automation timeline, it's extremely easy to sync up any of your cues / effects and you can have the video play on it's own time line within the program.

As far as monitors go you're one hundred percent going to want to invest in a decent pair. Using headphones in place of monitors for mixing isn't ideal especially if you're soundtracking someone else's work.
There are many monitors you can easily afford with your budget that will be considerably better, if you decide to go with Ableton.

So just in my opinion, with your $1000 or so you'd be best off going with:

Ableton Live 9
Standard edition for about $160
or Suite edition (comes with more effects/instruments and features but not entirely necessary as you can buy those down the road)
for $400
-------------------
Pair of half decent monitors, KRK or Yamaha have some that are in the 160 - 250 price range.
I've linked to a pair on Amazon that I used to use that I really liked that are on for $300
KRK Rokit 5 Gen 3 - http://www.amazon.com/KRK-RP5G3-NA-Generation-Powered-Monitor/dp/B00FX7MMRO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1425278863&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=krk+rokit
-----------------------------
If you opted for Ableton standard edition you should have some money left over to purchase Kontakt if you were still interested. Then pick up some third party plugins and samples along the way.

Hope that helps!

u/SedateApe · 2 points r/ffxiv

First off, make sure you have a decent soundcard. My laptop's soundcard is balls so I use an external audio interface -the difference is huge. If your soundcard isn't up to snuff, look at grabbing something like this. You can get them used (or other versions) for cheaper, and they're a good utility to have around. You can also look for simple USB DAC (Digital to Analog Converter).

For speakers, if you want really good sound, look for powered speakers, they have built in amps to drive them so that you don't need to worry about an external amp hanging out on your desk. I use reference monitors, these have an excellent frequency range and soundstage that's hard to produce with a two-way desktop speaker otherwise. These are what I use currently, and you'd be hard pressed to find something cheaper that can produce the same sound. Also of note are the Rockit 5's at about the same price point. These are pretty future proof, if that's your thing. The next step up from a setup like this would be a sizable chunk of money more.

Of course, this is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt and all that. This focuses largely on clarity of sound, frequency range, and small footprint at this specific price range. There are certainly other setups that use subwoofers, forgo DACs, etc.

This setup will, at the very least, blow the Klipsch speakers you have listed out of the proverbial water, but the extra cost is there. If you have the money, I'd buy better speakers now, rather than upgrade in the future when you decide yours aren't doing it for you anymore.

I bumped it up a little to do a little future proofing. This should be able to handle everything you need; games at 4k Ultra Settings @60+fps and some busy FL Studio files. If you wanted to come in cheaper, I would search for a different monitor (unless you are committed to 4k, you could easily save $200 here to just go with 1080p), drop to 2x4GB RAM instead of 2x8GB (If you have LARGE files on FL Studio, you MIGHT need 16GB; dropping would save around $60), and you could probably even get away with the 2GB 1050 instead of the 4GB (would save you $50).

As for the keyboard/mice/speakers. I'm a snob about speakers and don't care for mice and keyboards. I would rather do some nice headphones and cheaper/basic mice/keyboard.

# EDIT:

I double backed, removed the peripherals and doubled down on some other things. If you truly want a machine that works for both, I would recommend adding some nice Studio Monitors, Open Back Headphones, a Mechanical Keyboard, and then a basic mouse with a few bells and whistles.

I really like this combo Ryzen + Mobo. There is also a Ryzen 2700 variant too if you do want to go all the way with the CPU. Again I'll say you could do 2x4GB RAM and not notice any issues.

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy my first studio monitors. I'm not a pro or anything, just an amateur bedroom producer, but I've stumbled upon some questions.

I'll get right to it.

Do I need a soundcard or an external soundcard in order to get the most out of my studio monitors?
Do I need an audio interface to get the most out of the studio monitors? (I'm not recording anything and am not planning to do so anytime soon)
If I have either a soundcard or an audio interface do I still need the other?
How important is room treatment? (I have an attic bedroom and my pc is right under a diagonal ceiling. Also, the room is full of stuff so not echoey at all.)
I kinda like the KRK Rokit RP5, what do you think..?

&#x200B;

That's all..

u/wi_2 · 1 point r/audioengineering

I am no expert by any means, but even low end producer monitors will cost more than that.
There are some DJ monitors you can get for the money, which should be fine if you are just djing. But if you plan on making music, I'd suggest you way a bit and save up some money to get something like this
https://www.amazon.com/KRK-RP5G3-NA-Generation-Powered-Monitor/dp/B00FX7MMRO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479260183&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=monitor+speakers

They are pretty common and loved as a beginner set of monitors.
Yamaha HS series is also much loved, an upgrade compared to the ones above if you ask me.

You will probably be better off getting some good 2nd hand speakers for now while you save up.

u/stvaccount · 1 point r/audiophile

The cables are around $15, nothing to worry about.

I would get any good studio monitors for $300 that are recommended as the best here on reddit.com. I think the US version is $300 for the exact same speakers on amazon.com but could be wrong.

https://www.amazon.com/KRK-RP5G3-NA-Generation-Powered-Monitor/dp/B00FX7MMRO/

PS: and you can upgrade with a sub woofer later on that fits the speakers later on if you have money then.
I would invest the $300 for active speakers plus $15 for cables. Going lower is kind of expensive, as you get not good sound and therefore "expensive" for the value you get.

I Don't know what type of speakers you want and what is your budget but, if you want a studio speaker then I can definitely recommend

KRK Rokit 5

They look like the KRK Rokit 5's connected to the PC with the Scarlette 2i2 Preamp. Its the exact Audio set up Ive been meaning to get for a while haha How do you like them?

I have KRK Rokit 5s and use the Klipsch R12SW subwoofer.

My question is, what level should I set the LF Level Adjust on my Rokits so that they least conflict with my sub? Also, I know this comes down to personal preference but what would recommended settings be for Gain and Low Pass with my sub? I listen primarily to bass heavy dance music if that makes any difference.

So if I got something like the KRK RP5G3-NA, I wouldn't need anything other than the Schiit stack?

I couldn't agree more with /u/SativaGanesh 's comment below. I'll add that when you start learning to record, your focus should be on signal flow, gain staging, microphone technique, and learning how to edit and mix audio. Until you have a handle on the basics, a tape machine won't be beneficial to you. And when you DO have a handle on the basics, consider getting an internship at an analogue studio. If you're sharp and likeable, you'll probably have an opportunity to learn how to use a tape machine and console.

Here's what I suggest for your home setup. You can get a perfectly usable interface for around $150. That apparently comes with Pro Tools, but Reaper is a full-featured DAW that sounds great and supports most plugin formats out there. It's $60 for a full license. Here is a perfectly adequate microphone made by Rode. (Or if you can spend $600 go for the K2, it's awesome.) These speakers are halfway decent and will get you started on the right foot.

The KRK Rokit 5 G3 Pair

upgrade them studio monitors/speakers yo! they don't do justice to the setup. I'd recommend some small [KRK Rokits] (http://www.amazon.com/KRK-RP5G3-NA-Generation-Powered-Monitor/dp/B00FX7MMRO/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1395940460&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=krk+rokit) or something a bit cheaper.
