This is my enternal testament to how much I love aliexpress and I will forever be in mourning as long as purchasing anything from it is an action that doesn’t make any sense.

Now if I need another db25 cable it’ll cost me over twice as much… not counting the cost of everything going up in a general

All the stuff and the things and the tricks and the hacks and every distraction you indulge is just more distance between you and what makes actually music, which is capturing real human expression in whatever form it happens to take.

Unless your studio monitors are designed to be set on their side don’t do it!! Tweeters are designed to have a wide side to side sweet spot and when your turn it messes that up!!!
