Awesome soft piano with a ton of character

Made by an awesome producer with a sweet sound

Very Clean and Detailed, Low-Mid Dip though

I love these monitors, and I've had them forever. The treble is clean but not too excessive, and overall the monitor is very flat. There is, however, a low-mid dip that is worth significant consideration. The bass is otherwise very tight and not too boomy.

yeah, they definitely have a dip at a spot where mud accumulates ina mix so they can really screw you up if you aren't aware of that... still, I remember these were a real game changer for pweored monitors when they came out and I think they're still a great monitor

workhorse dynamic

(Mine is actually the D190 ES) Very uncommon and it has a very strange sound that works for pretty much anything you would want to record. Its weakpoint is probably vocals, though it handles sibilance really well.

versatile budget SDC

These mics are best had in stereo pair. They can do just about anything that you would want from a small-diaphragm condenser. Not the best for vocals, but really nice for foley in particular. I've not really done anything to test them durability-wise but they feel well-built.

Very well-priced and a workhorse

This mic will do it all and its so dang cheap, especially used. I find with vocals it compliments higher ranges better. It can be sensitive to high SPL so be fairly cautious in that regard. Budget diva

"Budget Diva" - for the win.

Not as powerful as DX7 but more intuitive

Like the summary says, I miss the extra two operators that a real DX7 offers. That said, its way easier to program patches into this thing and its more convenient all around. It runs off of batteries (though it dies quickly), has good I/O, acts as a MIDI controller, and the speakers are actually pretty nice. I wish the keys weren't so dang tiny and that they were full depth. I also wish that it had a programmable mod wheel. It does allow for sustain pedals to be used which is nice. Definitely well-priced

The standard for a reason

These sound bad and have a very high bass roll-off. They do their job well though, they translate really well and are pretty consistent as far as playback goes. I find that they are easier to make quick decisions on than other monitors as well (I secretly don't mind their midrange though).

Underrated but kind of for a good reason

This interface is better than what you would expect from the general behringer consensus. Its very sturdy and versatile but has little things that keep it from exceptional. For example, the headphone outputs are pretty noisy and the I/O is lackluster in the output realm. Also the lack of a power switch sort of blows, but it sounds really dang good!

Outdated but useful

This is a very convenient interface, and I like how it sounds. Though it only has two XLR inputs, the multitude of outputs is refreshing for multichannel work. The headphone amps and preamps are nice. The design is rather hideous but it also looks like it belongs in a studio so who cares :D

Entry-level Planar HiFi

I like these cans, but they aren't the best for mixing / mastering. They are very good for HiFi and can be fun to write music with. They feel well built, but are kind of ugly. There is a sweet spot in my heart for these headphones.

Main Reference Source

For me these are the best bang for your buck that there is with "studio headphones". They are reliable, sturdy, accurate (flat and detailed), not too obtrusive (as many over-ears are), and fashionable. I've been using these for so long and I've not been failed.

Everything I need

Not only is it the hub of my desk, but my main web-browsing, and gaming device. Even if it's not at the top of it's class for specs, it sure is a classy computer that will do just about everything that you need it to starting off.
