Great video brother. What monitor stands are you using in this video? I’m new and have been researching and have come across iso acoustics so far. Thanks!
You must have used only the cheapest beginner-level monitors then, if you find Kali good. Just got Kali IN-5 and Neumann KH 80 (4 inch woofer). Tested Both with a KRK10G subwoofer set at 70hz crossover. I first received the Neumanns and were absolutely underwhelmed by their size and looks. They are small and not really pretty speakers looking more like bigger PC-speakers. They really can`t bass, they are small! But then i bought and connected the 10 inch KRK Sub. When the Neumanns don`t have to work in the lower bass frequencies, they can unfold their potential in the low mids, mids and highs. Then i got an opportunity to lend and test the Kali IN-5 in white (beautiful) from a local music store. I disconnected a Neumann from one channel and connected a KALI instead, and played some songs over Winamp - moving the pan-slider from 100% left to 100% right to directly test KALI vs Neumann. I really wanted to send back the Neumanns and keep the KALIs, - the white model is an eye candy compared to the small black toy-looking Neumanns. I would save lots of cash - it`s 350€/piece for Kali VS 570€/piece for the Neumanns. AAAND the Kalis are 3-way monitors instead of 2-way Neumanns. I have to note - i did not use any calibration software, nor used the Neumanns DSP, nor used any switches on the Kalis. RESULT: all praise for the Kalis is ridiculous. 3 Way your butt! Absolute mushy and muddy mids - where instruments and vocals really mask each other, really dull and truncated highs. Neumanns, compared to Kalis hat much better localisationin the mids - vocals and instruments were separated from each other and you could clearly hear every single instrument/vocal. Aswell as crystal-clear highs. Switching to Kali were as if you would listen through a towel (i am exaggerating a bit, but the difference is immense) and switching back to Neumanns were as if you were back getting fresh air again. I were using Yamaha HS 80 M (almost identical to the newer H8) i would even take the H8 all day everyday over the Kalis. But in comparison to the small, toy-looking, cheapest Neumann KH80 the Kalis are trash. Completely underwhelmed and dissapointed. Gonna bring them back in 2 days and keep the Neumanns.
There are not too many headphones that have a "flat" response. That's why I use Sonarworks Reference software when mixing with headphones, allowing me to listen to flat sound on virtually any decent headphones. I have the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250 ohm and the AudioTechnica ATH-M40X... I also have the Kali LP-6 V1 monitors and looking to upgrade to the IN-5's (Picked up the LP-6 for $220 new)... Luckily, when you get to be old, you don't hear the hiss anyway 😁
Thanks for such an insightful comment! I heard great things about the Sonarworks software and I’m sure I t’s a great tool for mixing. The LP6s are great and served me very well over the years but the IN-5s are definitely a step up from my experience. I also own the Beyerdynamic DT770 pros and use them in conjunction to the Kali Audio monitors. I’m extremely grateful to Kali Audio for sending me them and don’t feel like I’ll need to upgrade in many years to come (if ever) 😊 In regards to your setup, only upgrade if you feel like you’re not getting good results.
Not sure if it's from a bad batch or if it's better than it used to be but my LP6 v2s still have quite a bit of noise, it's definitely tolerable but it's noticeable. I'm just used to using high gain amplifiers with multiple noise gates so I guess I'm just used to a little bit of noise here and there lol
Oh wow, thanks for sharing your experience! The LP6s I had were the 1st generation. According to Kali Audio the hissing should have been resolved with the LP6s 2nd Wave. With that being said, the IN-5 are dead silent so I’m really happy with the upgrade 😊
Good one bro ...u r the best ❤ So what about headphones there is a lot ...dt 700.....m50x ...rode ..blue...neumen....etc etc ....whats the best ...? And what about some daws ...make a video about that ...nuendo ..cubase...studio one ..ableton live..logic pro ..fl studio ..pro tools...etc ...
Thank you so much! 😊 It really comes down to personal preference. My personal favorite studio headphones are the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro and my DAW of choice is Logic Pro since I’m a Mac user. Stay tuned because I’ll be releasing a review of those headphones in the next week or so and I’ll keep that video idea for DAWs in mind for the future.
You’re very welcome! 😊 In my experience I hear more clarity and overall separation on the IN-5 even though they’re slightly smaller than the LP6s. If you’re looking for the optimal mix, the IN-5s are better in general. However, if you’re brand new to recording and mixing, the LP6s are much more affordable and still sound great.
You will need an audio interface. I’ve done a few reviews on my channel but one of the most affordable ones is the EVO4. Here is my review: ruclips.net/video/-6KwLO3m0FQ/видео.html Hope it helps! 😊
Hi home studio academy! Good video as always! I am a voice over artist, so i am not planning buying a pair of studio monitors. But i really want a good studio headset with sound fidelity in mind. Can you recommend one? (below 150-160)
Thank you so much! I understand that monitors are more geared towards music production and not voiceover. My favorite pair of studio headphones over the years have been the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros. Here is my review of them: ruclips.net/video/xlhnLpI7evg/видео.html

I never tried the Presonus or the Yamaha so I can’t say. I’ve been using Kali Audio for over a half a decade and they have become my personal favorites.
What good is a review which only tells us that this is better than the same brand's budget model? Comparisons to equivalent speakers from other brands is what is needed.

These or lp6 for playing through a digital piano and using vsts etc.. ?
Both great options. Depends on your budget. If you have a small budget go with the LP6s. If you have a bigger budget then go with the IN5s

DT770 Pro 250 is stupidly bright at high end. I'm not a mixer, but I couldn't use it for listing music without using an equalizer.
@@mhnoni I never had any issues mixing with them and in comparison to the Sony MDR-7506s not as bright.

Those are great monitors for audio production but will sound great as well for regular consumption such as gaming, music and watching movies.
hello. bro can i use your video screenshot photo for non-commercial use? i will comment your credit
Lots of people mix lots of great music on headphones!

@@homestudioacademy well, that goes against your opening statement.
@@officialWWM if you watched the whole video, my response to that is at 1:01
@@homestudioacademy nope, I didn’t watch, because you lost me with that very ill informed statement.
Which one is better studio monitor???? Yamaha HS8 vs Presonus E8 ?????? My first priority is music production. I do mix master very rare

It worked for me but here is another link to the same monitors: amzn.to/3yZrz6D

Did you not see the video thumbnail before clicking on it? 🤦♂️
must say i miss the new yuin more, the tunings are just right for an earbud

I found the IN-5 to be very accurate and I’m pretty happy with the results for the channel 😊
