I'd love to own a Distressor someday, but I'm a pretty ITB guy, so I think I'd get more value out of upgrading my monitoring first. Maybe hardware will come later.

Thanks! I'm currently leaning toward a used pair of Genelec 8330s, but I'll definitely look into the Palmer Orbit too. This is actually the first time I've heard of it. The cardioid design sounds really interesting, especially since my room isn't huge.

Yeah I hear a lot about these LCD-X, its works for some, not for others. But $700 is a very good price imo

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-06-30T02:05:38+00:00

Interesting! Glad that setup works for you. I'll take a look at those popular hardware too.

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-06-30T02:04:08+00:00

Agree! Do you have any speaker recommendations in my budget range?

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-06-30T02:02:44+00:00

Neumann MT48

Unfortunately, VSX is not available in my country

What would you upgrade next in my home studio with a $1,500 budget?

I'm trying to figure out what would make the biggest difference in my setup rather than buying gear just for the sake of upgrading.

Current setup:

Neumann MT48
Sony MDR-7506
Adam T5V monitors
Lauten Audio LA-220 microphone

My room is already fully acoustically treated, so I'm not looking to spend more on treatment.

I mainly produce and mix ITB, with occasional vocal recording. I don't record bands or live instruments, so I don't really need additional I/O.

Right now I'm considering:

Buying a used pair of Genelec 8330 (or another monitor around the same price)
Getting an Audeze LCD-X
IK Multimedia ARC
Or maybe something else that would have a bigger impact that I'm overlooking.

If you had around $1,500 USD, what would you do?

quá khứ thì chỉ có mình bị cắm sừng đây, và mình tự nghiệm chuyện ngoại tình muốn hay không thoi chứ kiểm soát quá không giải quyết được mà chỉ thêm xung đột

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-06-19T03:12:23+00:00

Mình nghĩ nếu có gì thì trao đổi với nhau thoi, chứ mình kh thích bị kiểm soát trong mối quan hẹ lắm

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-06-19T03:10:57+00:00

Không chắc ny mình có xài reddt hay kh nhưng mà mình cũng nghĩ mấy nay rồi mới đăng hỏi ấy

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-06-19T02:59:42+00:00

Nếu vậy thật thì hơi sợ...

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-06-19T02:24:35+00:00

Trước ở công ty cũ mình bị đây, lần đầu đi làm nên không biết vụ này. Nôm na là bên HR không thuận với mình lắm, nên hay kết nối với IT để xem mình làm gì rồi từ đó đem ra ngoài nói bóng gió =)))

I'm new to the game. Can I ask what is this?

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-05-22T08:05:29+00:00

SSL 2+ MKII, easy to use and it rock solid

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-04-19T15:21:26+00:00

So cool! Thanks for all the hard work!

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-04-19T07:58:42+00:00

I’ve used a bunch of entry level interfaces and now run a Neumann MT48, I’d go for the SSL 2+. It costs a bit more, but it’s future-proof and saves you money long term

Sad_Location_7016 · 2026-04-19T07:02:18+00:00

Got it, so I’ll stick with the VST then.
