well my "equipment" would be those monitors (the ones i end up with), my laptop macbook pro, and my TV so im not really afraid. the laptop is insured and it will anyway be in clamshell mode inside my desk using a TV and wireless mouse/magic trackpad so its practically impossible to even get close to. the speakers should be able to handle tough situations though caus the volume knob will be avaliable for everyone. maybe i should get some PA instead lol. remember this is my livingroom more than a studio. i still consider tannoy passives.

Me neither. I reckon you changed your name just to get out of inviting some of us.

Anyway how do you get drunk there? - isn't tax on booze something criminal like 40%?

what i meant was: where? in norway? lol
no its not so expensive here as people think (compared to salaries atleast). one beer (0,5l can) is like 2,5 British Pound Sterling and in a bar its like 5-6. vodka and other higs% liquor is abit expensive though but im staying away from anything but beer. whats expensive here is studiomonitors.

How is the hooker and coke scene ? I hear the smack is good. I just want to know if my usual speedball pre party mix will make me feel right. And I suppose the E's as well as I usually add a bit to the mix although it takes a bit more lime to dilute.

what the hell u talk about


Posted by Looney4Clooney on Aug-28-2010 00:52:

do you honestly expect me to take a G5 to fucking norway if I don't have the proper ingredients for a good time. Jesus. The fuel alone is gonna cost me 10000$. I suppose 5000 if djRann is chipping in.

�5-�6 for a beer in a bar is very expensive. In the UK a beer in a bar is somewhere between �2-�3 (maybe up to �4 if its a high end club or fancy bar in the city). Some places will sell cheaper than �2 as well.

theres cheaper places here too but i rarely go to those caus theyre always filled with students and alcoholics and i dont go out to meet people like myself.


Posted by Looney4Clooney on Aug-28-2010 12:52:

I'm sure you can find some low priced bars with guys like you. Anyways, your party sounds lame and I've RSVP'd that I won't be going once you've sent the invitation. Seems like Miley was right. The part'y aint in Norway.

You must live up North


Or only have Weatherspoons' within crawling distance.

i got the HS80Ms today lol. but i think im returning them, WAAAYYYY too much bass and too little mids is my first impression. but im gonna let them play for a week and see. there are things i definitely like with them which totally lacked in my previous ones so i need to think about it. maybe the hs50 would be better here but im afraid those doesnt have the things i like about the hs80. i was sick of thinking so i had to do something. maybe putting a sock in the bassport will fix the bass-problem but the mids are still too low imo. i really like the bass too, its just too much of it.

Most of that can probably be attributed to your room. Case in point, I have the HS80Ms and I have the exact opposite problem in my room - not enough bass and too much midrange. Do you have bass traps?


Posted by Looney4Clooney on Aug-28-2010 16:11:

move them away from the wall. Also you need some sort of painting for that boring wall. What a buzz kill.


Posted by Zak McKracken on Aug-28-2010 16:40:

its not possible with any threatment here as its my livingroom. maybe some paintings. if i drag them out from the wall i will tripp on them and crash them into the floor. i give up lol.


Posted by Looney4Clooney on Aug-28-2010 16:42:

just a little bit. Having them right against the wall will really compound the bass. Also try moving the entire setup a bit to the left, space them out more, and sort of angle them a bit. And the paintings won't do anything other than look pretty. That is the only reason I mentioned them. A white wall isn't really that exciting.


Posted by cryophonik on Aug-28-2010 17:04:

Also, have you adjusted the switches on the back? There are several, including low-cut (100 & 80 Hz) and selectable boost/cut for mids and highs (0 & +/-2dB). Between cutting the lows, and boosting the mids/highs, you should be able to dial something that works for your room.


Posted by tehlord on Aug-28-2010 17:32:

Weird, I don't find the HS80s bassy at all. In fact the old RP6s sounded bassier tbh, and the midrange is right in my face too.

Must be how yuo've got them backed right up against the wall.


Posted by Zak McKracken on Aug-28-2010 17:39:

ya i guess my room is too small and that i have standing waves between back wall and where my couch is on the oposite wall, like 3,5m. im trying both 80Hz cut, -2dB on highs, +2dB on mids, and it helps alot but the rolloff on 80Hz is abit too fast so im actually loosing everything down there hehe. i believe smaller speakers with front mounted bassport or no bassport at all would be best here. its a shame because i really liked the low mids on them, its big, open and majestic and mixing midbass must be a dream on them. also drums sounds great on them imo, but i couldnt get into how the represent leads. its almost not present.


Posted by tehlord on Aug-28-2010 17:49:

It may be worth trying them for a week first and seeing how your mixes translate once you're used to them a bit. The first render I did of the first thing I mixed on the HS80s was all over the place.
