I use Pro-Tools and The MBox to record .. I use my head phones or connect my computer speakers to the head phone jack to hear the music .. I am looking to get more quality out of my the sound but I ma not syre how to go about it.
Is there a way to connect studio speakers straight to the Mbox? or do I have to buy a mixer or an amp or something like that to connect good speakers?
any help will be apreciated .. Thank you
Depending on the MBox you have, there should be two 1/4" (hopefully TRS) outs.
Unfortunately, you'll have to buy a couple of studio monitors (a fancy way of saying high-end speakers) to connect them with. If your MBox supports balanced outs (XLR/TRS), you should use those. I use Yamaha HS50s as my monitors. Though they don't represent the low end very well, it's a pretty flat and accurate monitoring system.
Most monitors are active, so you won't need to worry about a mixer or an amp, depending on how you're trying to rig your system.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at cremasterandroo@yahoo.com . I love talking shop, and would be happy to help in any way that I can.
Youâve Got your Recording Studio, Now Time to Market
Different Ways to Reach Out to Prospect Musicians and Managers for a Successful Recording Studio
After the set up, loan, and investment, gaining clients just by referrals and connections are not enough to bring your sideline business to the next level. To breakeven over a long period of time is not ideal and a ROI gained instantly is a given common goal. As the entertainment industry is filled with competitors and is way past fast-paced, more direct and aggressive approaches are necessary for a start-up recording studio.
When planning your breakthrough in the music recording and entertainment industry, simple strategic plans are not enough; a big chunk of guts, expert communication skills, and a winner smile are needed to get through these toughly built businessmen and artists. Thus, consistently being in close contact with your targets is necessary until you eventually earn their trust.
1. Be on site: Before you can offer your services, familiarize yourself with your prospects. Watching the artists and eventually meeting with the handlers and music members is a sure approach. Once you are in close contact with them, hand out your UPrinting business cards, follow up by revisiting and luckily you can catch on recording with your prospects. 2. Establish stronger connections: Expanding your options is also needed, other targets can be found at events, bars, and in photo shoots. Along the way you get to inch your way through the industry and gain additional chances for recordings. Eventually, you get invited to parties, better events, and other happenings around the industry; and finding means to get to introduce yourself and your service to the right people such as club owners, celebrities, radio station disc jockeys, and publicists helps for they have access to a very large market. 3. List and link away: Find as many possible areas and places you can enlist your services. Usually, magazine directories, classifieds, online directory sites, and music websites and fan pages can supply you with inquiries. 4. Offer mini services: With the prospect clients you have met, try to offer as many free services you can to get consistently into their events. For minimal expenses, you can offer your equipment such as speakers, mixers, or supply raw music for events. 5. Ads: Once you get a flow of customers into your recording studio business, you can go UPrinting for your materials. Posters and flyers can be more capable for such type of promotions.
Getting into the scene and knowing the trends of your target market works well with a recording studio business. Through regularly meeting your musicians and artists, you can expect regular recordings as well.
