Thank you - I bought new speakers for my studio with SBD!

in #music7 years ago

It's time to get some new speakers for my studio! My trusty Yamaha HS80M have served me well for a couple years now. I'm not sure why I have yet to upgrade them but today seemed like the day to do it! I headed to SXPro in London.

Steemit is uniquely placed - it is much easier than Facebook to build a following, and unlike Facebook, here you are rewarded for your content. As a songwriter (or anyone working in a creative field) this is a game changer.

So here's a BIG thank you to everyone who has interacted / voted on my posts / listened to my music - you've helped me afford the Focal Shape 65's.

You can see they are a little smaller than my old Yamaha speakers (8" woofer vs 6.5") but they sound amazing.

The Flax sandwich cone offers a much more precise and controlled bass and the speaker is incredibly precise. I'm noticing things in my favourite songs that I've never heard before.

Lastly...

For those wondering what the pile of books next to the speakers were... One Hundred Years of Solitude, Just Kids, The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich, Tools of the Titans (🔑🔑🔑), The Plain and Simple Guide to Music Publishing.

Thanks for reading!

Wow it's super great to see another musician on steemit, I've taken about a year break and back the it was purely cryptotalk. I love the new diversity I'm seeing in my feed.

As for the monitors I think you made a great decision, especially if you are mixing and master on them. The Yamahas I've used and i didn't feel they had a true response, I got a clearer "look" at my stems with cheaper gear (rockit 6s come to mind).

I Haven't heard your new speaks but I'm sure they monitor very well. Congrats on the steem score bro.

and am super glad to inform musicians about musicoin.org i myself am not a musician, buh one thing i know is that musicoin , steemit and belacoin will be the facebooks, youtubes and insatgram of the future respectively.

I'm really happy for you by telling the good work of steemit platform. The developers of this platform has been help to each if us for their work. It is good news for upgrading your studio

Happy to hear that Steemit gave you this incredible opportunity! And you are so right, I used to spend so much time on Facebook and now, after I discovered Steemit is like I completely forgot about it

Ps: One hundred years of solitude is one of the best books I've ever had the pleasure to read. Glad to see it here ;)

I have rokit 8s. they are overkill as I only crank them prob around halfway but I still love them and they were fairly cheap. They have lasted me almost 5 years now without any problems. upvote this if it helps and thanks @thisisbenbrick for sharing!

Very cool, you posted, earned and converted earnings to a sweet set of Yamaha speakers. Who would have thought this could be so easy for quality posters like you just over a year ago?

Killin it!

This is awesome mate, and good to hear. As another creator, I can defo see the benefit and will be posting on Steemit often.

Glad to hear it! Look forward to your posts

@thisisbenbrick I envy your setup. I've planning to build my own network but haven't done it yet.

Voted up. You deserve it.
