Hey everyone! What kind of speakers do you use for mixing? I'm very new to that topic and I'm not sure what kind of speakers I should be using. So far I have a 5.1 surround system by Teufel and a Bose soundlink mini. I'm wondering if this is enough? What do you say?
Thanks a lot, everyone!

Expand commentSometimes it depends on your budget, what you have, and where you want to spend your money. I decide some years back when I started that I will have the tools to fit the job. As I was going to start off with shorts and local filmmakers, I much rather limit my spending on the hardware so I found an old pair of Bose 201 shelf speakers not in use, bought two stands and put them in the corners in my converted studio (used to be a bedroom). As I am not in the point where I have a offsite facility (and an administrative assistant) like some of my local friends who have a few dozen features with lots of corporate work :) , the sound from these speakers is well above my minimum bar. No one here in Houston so far has asked for a Dolby mix and if they did, I have a dolby 5.1 system in my living I could use for the time being if I needed to. Thing is, as I am not yet in an industrial space and I have not sound proofed my studio, I can't really turn up the music very loud anyway, especially if my wife is around as she has her own (non-music) studio where she does paid sewing and monogramming and complains if the music is too loud. One of the things I have done which I find particularly useful is also have and use a high quality noise silencing headphone (Bose QC25). I find that particular useful when I am trying to sync my music to the film as I can hear things on a headphone that I can not hear through studio speakers and often it's things that the video editor forgot about that needs fixing in the sound mix. For me the bottom line is that in the environment I am currently in (local film industry, most shorts and occasional feature), I much rather invest when I have funds in things that directly impact what the filmmaker / sound editor/mixer will get. Studio speakers are more of an internal thing like the number of monitors I use to score.
Okay, Thank you Joel!
When I was a teenager I heard John Murphy's score for 28 Days Later. I instantly knew I wanted to score for films. It was love when I heard "In The House-In A Heartbeat." To this day I still go back and listen to this piece when I'm feeling uninspired or I question my career choice. What piece inspired or moved you above all others?
Tobias Jäck I had almost forgotten about the Inception score. Very good indeed. Christof Davis I don't count John Williams in any of my list anymore because he is just amazing. As a guitarists even better. Everything he makes is gold! Jim Rieder Nice rendition. I really liked and enjoyed it.
Brandi Thomas I haven't thought of "Can you feel the love tonight" in years!
I would probably say, first the John Williams score for the original "Superman" starring Christopher Reeves. And later, Hans Zimmer score for "Crimson Tide".
Anthony Salazar, a Camera Operator from Temple City, California was just hired for the project titled "SAG YouTube Red Series, Strings, Cast/Crew". Congratulations!
Congrats!! Greetings from your neighbor in Pico!
Hi my name is Jose and I am a Composer/Musician. I am a total newbie looking to grow in as many ways as possible. Greatly influenced by video game music and hope to one day write for popular games and movies. I hope to learn as much as I can from everyone and hopefully score some gigs!
Welcome, I am in the same boat am a storyteller that started writing and like you my influence are video games and anime. If you are interested, am working on a project that requires music later on. Besides guitar do you have experience in other instruments?
Hi Jose, I actually have a wonderful opportunity for you. If you are interested, please PM me!
