The lows and highs are so much more distinctive than they were on my old headphones! I got these on sale and have been loving them ever since :)
Bought these just today after listening to a few models at Guitar Center. After listening to several competing models like JBLs, KRKs, and possibly M-Audios, I kept coming back to the KRK Rokit 6s (over the 5s, which had poor bass response and the 8s, which were too big/expensive at the time being).
So far, I'm really happy with these. They provide a pretty good picture of my music. However, the frequency response seems to have some dips around the 400-500 Hz area. After getting used to hearing other songs on them, though, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
This has been my computer for producing thus far. Though it has served me well, it is no perfect computer. One gripe of mine is that I have had some serious dropouts and noises running one of my latest Ableton projects. Even with closing tabs and upgrading the RAM, issues have persisted somewhat, albeit to a lesser extent.
Before I was into electronic music and music production, I played guitar. This is only my second guitar, after the Squier Mini I started out on as a kid. It has the look and sound (as far as I'm concerned, anyway) of any other Strat, so it was naturally a great addition to my setup.
I got this as a gift yesterday, and it has sounded very good thus far. After updating the driver for the interface, I plugged in my guitar with a normal guitar cable and started playing in Ableton. It has great sound quality as long as the input and output buffers are high enough to avoid dropouts or noises (but that's a universal problem anyway...might be more CPU-based than interface-based).
When I bought NI Komplete 9, one thing that stood out was the lack of a normal subtractive synthesizer, and Sylenth fills that niche perfectly. It has a great and distinctive sound. Will be using more in more in my music.
My first paid VSTs thus far...these rock! Massive and Battery are used in all of my productions.
In Standard, I can basically do as many tracks as my CPU can handle (in the 30s right now). The included audio effects are really underrated, especially EQ Eight and Multiband Dynamics.
These work great for Ableton and iTunes stuff.
