6 years and after a few essential upgrades to my monitoring.

Though, not with out exploration and some investment into my sound.

i've always liked my tracks i worked on, but i feel better about what i make and how i make my tracks.

Yeah, in the moment, when I'm making the track, I can't help but to like it, the problem is when I get out of my DAW and hear some "pro" songs, suddenly the bad quality of my songs becomes very palpable, and I kinda feel discouraged to continue.

And I understand that investment is part of it. I'm currently using Sennheiser's HD-202 as monitors, but just until I earn enough to buy a pair of Yamaha's Hs7.

Thx for replying btw =D

if you're making original music, i don't see why would get your music taken down?

unless you have some unauthorized samples....

well the thing is SC is so lazy they take down anything with similar name too sometimes I read somewhere that some guy uploaded silent track and named it the same as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4%E2%80%B233%E2%80%B3 and it was taken down by copyright notice ridiculous...

hah this is coming into interrogation

Yes, I put Maximus exclusively on master channel, 99% of the time when I want to saturate the sound, otherwise I use Waves L2 for traditional limiting. I think I'm not going after a "commercial" sound, I use it on songs that I don't want to sound clean - most of the time sampled stuff and synthwave (80s cheesy shit )
https://soundcloud.com/itsdaimon/synthwave-thunder-lighting/s-HqYE4 here is the synthwave track I've been working on with maximus on master, it has that dirty compressed sound to it (at least for me)

honestly this is one area you don't want to skimp. don't just buy 'budget' speakers and then want new and better ones in 6 months. It is what I did. I really wanted the Adam speakers but then just went with HS8 instead (still a respectable speaker for a bedroom studio) but I was kicking myself because I always wanted the Adams.

Seriously just go without speakers for longer and get a good quality pair - you will have them for years and years anyway. Just don't go out or spend money on shit for a few weeks and put that money aside for better speakers.

my recommendation from all the ones I listened to in the shop were definitely the Adams.

I also have KRK rokit 8s and they are good but like any speaker you have to learn how to mix on them specifically - they can be a little boomy down the bottom end I think.

ohhhhh, what i'm saying is that nobody would actually pay thousands for them if they were the same...
i'm not suggesting that price equals quality, just that there are obviously differences if people are paying a shit tonne of money for them
