i think you can adapt to anything if you've got talent.
some people have the ablity to make good sh!t under any circumstances, but i still believe the average beginner is going to fair better with monitors.
(even if its just to stop him being deaf by the age of 35)
room accoustics.
sorry if i gave the impression that working with headphones and redline plugin ALL THE TIME is better.
but i think its very good reference to find problems when the room has to many trouble.
having a studio in a bedroom can be very difficult as you not always have the space to position your monitors and their distance from where you sit.
what you really need to is to refference your mixes with commercial music. if the commercial sounds good and yours not, than maybe its your mix and not the room and you just need to work that out.

just curious what headphones do they use?::BLM:: wrote:I know that Chris (as he is on my label) only uses headphones. He never checks his mixes before sending them to be pressed onto vinyl. I would go as far as saying that on FOF he has the strongest sound (sound quality wise) He just uses his headphones plugged into his mac and off he goes. He doesn't even use a proper soundcard, just the one that comes in the apple mac.
Patrice has monitors, but chooses to mix on his headphones as he said he can hear everything better.
i'm in the process of building a purpose built electronic music studio in a converted 300 year old barn right now, and it is all going to be done properly with acoustic treatment etc. maybe i could post up some info and pics of how its coming along, it might be some use to some of you.
i'm starting now and it should be finished by next september.
