I've finally got my studio back together after a four-month hiatus. Yesterday the last piece arrived: my new Emovita Stealth 8 reference monitors. I've spent most of the night listening to my favorite records on them to become familiar with their sound. Much to my delight, because they are extraordinarily flat and grossly overpowered they simply don't impose any color of their own. Consequently, all of my usual references sound spectacularly good.
Why am I telling you this? Because this morning I decided to turn to the Songs forum for new material to run through these amazing speakers, and Moving On was my first selection. I just had to share this observation: your production sounds every bit as good as the quality commercial mixes I've been listening to all these hours. Spectral balance, clarity, punch, panoramic cohesion, expertly sandwiched reverb - all outstanding. (Point of reference: immediately before listening to this, I'd just finished Alison Krauss'
New Favorite, one of the best-made records in my reference collection.)
Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Hope you manage an equally good recording environment after your move. Don't forget to double-check all your voltage settings before turning anything on!
