Many of them use the same monitors they did years ago when they were starting out in their bedrooms.... because they know the sound of them inside and out, and know how to get the best from them.
They also reference playbacks using other gear, as anyone worth their salt should do really.
Don't be too quick to judge someone just because they havent blown $0000s on a pair of genelecs or whatever.
It's not about the gear.... |
That's also a valid point. I just am of the opinion that its hard to produce well if you can't hear what you are doing. Making the upgrade to "mastering quality" (if you want to call them that) monitors made a big difference in my own stuff. It also had the unexpected side effect of revealing how poorly mixed a lot of EDM is nowadays.
However, that being said, I agree that if you have a pair of monitors that you have been using for years and KNOW how they translate on other systems, then you should be fine. I just get the impression that a LOT of these guys do not fall into that category.
