Upgrade Your Sound – 6 Reasons to Buy New Monitors<\/title><\/head><body><\/p>\n<div class=\"richsummary\">\n<p id=\"abstract\">Are you forgetting about monitors? Well, how can you expect to play well when you can't even hear what's coming out of your gear? Monitors are an essential part of your setup, and as such there's plenty of reason to pay them special attention. Most importantly, bad monitors can completely distort your perception of the sound – causing what others hear to be way off as you overcompensate for perceived shortcomings that don't actually exist.<\/p>\n<p id=\"takeawayheader\">Key Takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"takeaways\">\n<li id=\"takeaway1\">Interested in upping your sound game? If to, turn to new monitors as an option.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway2\">While monitors might sound like an afterthought, they're actually one of the most critical drivers of your sound.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway3\">The reason is simple – if you're not hearing what your audience hears, you're going to overcompensate – with bad results for the audience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"quote\">“Small and cheap monitors very often do not deliver in the low Hz; they don\u2019t give you the bottom you require. If you\u2019re monitoring on small cans, you\u2019re probably lacking bass and over compensating at the mix stage.”<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"readmoretext\">Read more: <\/span><a id=\"source\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.musictech.net\/2018\/03\/6-reasons-buy-new-monitors\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.musictech.net\/2018\/03\/6-reasons-buy-new-monitors\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upgrade Your Sound – 6 Reasons to Buy New Monitors Are you forgetting about monitors?
