Mr.Largo


I just got birthday money for a speaker system and I'm looking for the best sound for my money. I've been looking at the Logitech z-2300, but they seem kind of outdated? These will be used on my computer. I won't listen to them on too high of volume, but I'd like them to be able to still sound clear even when turned all the way up.
Thanks.



Answer
You really do get what you pay for with speakers. Your best bet is to go on Bestbuy.com, tigerdirect.com, newegg.com, and sears.com and check out reviews of speakers. Every brand has their flops and golden speakers. Why not listen to someone who has already owned them?

What computer sound system can you suggest, for a guy who wants to make electronic music?

Hey everyone
Christmas is coming up and i wanted to add a few wishes to my wishlist. Does anyone out here have any recommendations for a great computer sound system (speakers and bass). In particular, something that doesnt cost much more than 250£, but still has a kicking bass and top-notch sound quality, if that is even possible.
On a side note, do you have any recommendations for a good midi keyboard?



Answer
You really need to go out and listen for yourself. For everyone that claims that brand x or model y is the best, there is an equal opposite opinion. What some people call deep bass others won't, or they will find it loose or boomy. Since you will be making electronic music through them, they will essentially be part of the instrument, which is probably not a good thing. With electric guitar, the speakers are a big part of the sound, which is why so many guitar plug ins for recording have speaker emulation. You will probably want the speakers as neutral or 'clinical' sounding as possible, to avoid having the sounds dependent on your particular speakers. Also, make sure you look at the issue of durability. You can put out some pretty nasty waveforms digitally, and this can fry high frequency drivers and crossovers in cheaper speakers. Another concern would be what listening environment the speakers will be placed in. Near field monitors are usually not very good at imaging, except in a very tightly defined area. In other words, high frequency beaming means the treble response will drop off if the listener is not right in the sweet spot, where the full range comes through, so these would not make good speakers to fill a room. There's a ton of choices, so your best bet is to stick with speakers sold by music stores, rather than trying to get the most watts for the least money. Of all the websites I've found, http://www.Sweetwater.com has the widest selection, best organization and most thorough descriptions and reviews overall. So, I'd start there and narrow down the choices to something manageable and then search for a couple of more reviews on other sites, and then search for the best price/service deal.

As for a midi keyboard, that depends on what you are looking for: a strict midi controller, a keyboard with built in sound capability, or something with integrated control surface, such as transport controls for start/stop while recording, pads for percussion, etc. Something else to research at Sweetwater.
