I'm looking for best monitoring speaker options on a budget, less than
$100. I have an Audiophile 2496 card and do various audio editing using
Sound Forge and Samplitude on the PC. For several years, I had used a
pair of Sony MDR-V6 headphones for monitoring, but I found the mixes I
would hear in the headphones wouldn't match the car. Surprisingly, a
friend's iLive IBPD882B did better than the headphones as a monitor
using its aux input from the 2496 out, but that radio had to be returned
and now I'm back to the headphones but I am seeking something better.
So I pose the question from the first sentence given the particulars I'm
currently using. Also, isn't there some way to capture and apply an
equalizing correction curve so that even the monitor systems of less
quality are compensated for? Just a thought and something I thought I
read about, but I'll bet I have too many limitations. I do have a Zoom
SD card based hand held recorder with built in stereo mics, but this
probably wouldn't be suitable as a capture device. Thanks for your
help.
