Monitor suggestion for DAW
Since lockdown is partially lifted, I'm looking to buy a monitor for office work for at least 1 more month, and then when I get back to office, I will use it to Edit Audios
I don't know what to look for in monitors, except the budget is below 300$ and size should be 21 inches at least.

Re: Monitor suggestion for DAW
Depends what you want. If you want 4K, you need to spend more.
That's a great monitor, and the touchscreen should be cool for use in a DAW. I have a couple 24" monitors that are similar IPS LED monitors, but I would totally go for touchscreens now for DAW use if I was getting something newer.

Because I don;t want to miss any important specifications because later on it can cause trouble for me.

Re: Monitor suggestion for DAW
Maybe play the recordings through a hifi tube amp to cut the losses?

Re: Monitor suggestion for DAW
Digital or analog doesn't matter if the producer knows what they're doing...and it's much easier to get a good recording from a budget digital setup than a cheap analog setup. But I'm sure there's never been a bad analog recording, right?

Re: Monitor suggestion for DAW
With my band in the 90s, we used to make recordings bouncing tracks on a Tascam PortaStudio 414. I don't miss those days.
My digital setup these days is sliiiiiightly more sophisticated.

Me too. A marantz 4 track... afterwards I bought a boss BR1180 CD. It said " worlds easiest recording studio" but it took me 4 days to make the first recording. Lots of features.. small displayJMPGuitars wrote: ↑Thu 05/14/20 8:45 amWith my band in the 90s, we used to make recordings bouncing tracks on a Tascam PortaStudio 414. I don't miss those days.
