Week 6 EOC: Me Times Three

1) Yamaha HS80M. Great studio reference monitors meant for near field home or studio mixing. They are well known for the quality of the monitor and giving the listener a very flat response. This is important in mixing because what you hear is really what you get. You can be sure that if the studio in which your mixing with these monitors is acoustically ideal, that quality of sound will go wherever you choose to listen. Along with the great quality and design, these speakers will look great in any environment. With a very sleek, shiny, outside case, the white cones really pop out and have them standing out in the room. These monitors are very affordable, simple to use with just a power supply, XLR adapters, and simple on/off switch located on the back of the monitor. These speakers are specifically targeted towards professionals or just people who want great, quality sound. The reviews and word of mouth on the reputation of these monitors are why they are so popular and affordable.

2) Honda CRF 250.
My 2006 CRF 250 is one of a kind like myself. The first year that the model came with a duel exhaust system. Although it runs a little different than the older years, i really enjoy it. The twin mufflers sound great and look awesome, but Honda also had some great new features on the motor itself. The motor has a very quick acceleration and also moves through the mid end pretty well. Compared to competition of the same size motor on other makes, this one is the lightest. Although maybe only a few pounds, a good rider will notice the difference when riding through turns on a track.

3)Ableton 9 suite
Ableton is one of the most popular and user friendly DAW's on the market. It is known for the ease of use in live situations. wether for a DJ, or using effects on live instruments, Ableton is very efficient for all musicians.  Ableton can combines MIDI editing and music effects with audio clips with such ease. This is the main reason i use it. It makes it very simple to use and modulate outside plug-ins, along with any EQ's or compressor's. Ableton comes stock with some very high quality EQ's and audio effects as well. My favorite thing about Ableton is that 5 minutes after installing it on your computer, you will feel like a pro.
