Re: Mackie HR824's
Yeah, we are smart asses, but I really do want to get rid of mine too. I've been playing around with placement trying to get them to sound as dull and muddy as possible. I'm getting closer to them sounding like total shit, so I expect my mixes to improve quite a bit. I've even put toilet paper over the tweaters. So far, just a single sheet.
My next move is to either put them on their side or raise them up so the tweeter isn't firing right at my face. I want the highs to go right over my head or around my head hopefully making the mids and low mids seam more aggressive.
I'm also considering buying a hardware parametric EQ that I will place after my Mytek DA converter. I want to boost everything under 600Hz by 2dB and maybe boost 120Hz by another 1dB.
I know that this isn't the most fundamentally sound way of getting what I want out of my control room, but I don't have time or money to build my dream control room. So, this will have to suffice.
