Studio Monitors for Digital Music Recording

Video Transcript

Okay, next we'll be discussing the monitors. Studio monitors are necessary for generating your audio sound. Like headphones except they're external, so you can hear them without headphones. You can hear them, other people in the room can also hear them. And they hear with stereo sound, left and right, so you get a balanced sound of your mix or your recording. It's necessary when you're going out shopping for monitors to make sure they're compatible with your interface. Since they will be going directly out from the audio, left from right on your interface, into your monitors, it's necessary that everything is compatible. With me using headphones like now, you'll be hearing this take we'll be going left and right from the audio interface into the camera and that's how you'll be picking up all this audio signal. Just so you understand. So when you're going out shopping for monitors, and yes they are offered by a host of different suppliers and they have different varieties and different brands for different prices. But make sure you just get what is necessary for your system and what is compatible with your system. Because a lot of people will try to get you to buy what you don't need. So just make sure you know what you're looking for. They range in different prices, and different products. If you're just getting started, just get the basic studio monitor. You can even go to Radio Shack and get just some cheap twenty thirty dollar monitors, just to hook up to your system just to get started. And that's your studio monitors.
