@@luffer_punk Now that I’ve had them for a while. The Evo is more honest and detailed IMO

I haven't purchased any kits for the Fantom. But I'll definitely keep that in mind

@@szeredaiakos Tbh for the money the Hs8 are some damn good speakers. I can not get the focals to hit hard in the low end like I want them too.

@@TachyonTheImmortal Yes I do still have the Adam speakers. The mid range in the Adam’s are decent however it’s hard to compare the Adam’s I have to the focals due to the size of both of them. My Adam’s are 7” and focals 8”. So the bass in the Adam’s in my room Imo are almost non existent. But that’s just me. My space is untreated and it’s rather large for that size. If I were you and you had the money demo them both and return the ones you’re less happy with. Or go to your local Guitar center and see if they have them on demo to try both of them. I hope this helps.

@@jltbk5420 I just got the focal 8". Need to set them up though. I was considering the Adam 8" as a second pair because I'd like try out the ribbon tweeters.

I had this same issue. You have to go into the mpc preferences go into midi/sync then tap the reset on the input and output ports the reset looks like a circle ⭕️ arrow moving to the left. This should fix that. Hopefully it works. But the Fantom I had was the first model the 6 yours is updated so that maybe an issue if this doesn’t work.

@@GGVMusic Make sure you pick midi the 5th option it looks like a midi end then on the midi port scroll past Midi ABCD and Remote until you see the Fantom

@@GGVMusic I remember having a similar issue but I fixed it. Unfortunately I’ve gotten rid of both units so I wouldn’t be able to walk you through step by step however I still own a mpc live and that’s how I hook up all my synths. I use midi through usb connected to my Mio xl

This is exactly why I made the video. To get feedback with other users of the same type of workflow. My question to you is when you sample into the Mpc x to the pad do you hear a difference in sound quality as opposed to tracking the Fantom directly into the Daw while using the Mpc to trigger the sounds. Because I feel like when I’m listening to my tracks on the Mpc when it has my hardware playing back through Midi the sound quality sounds better but just by a little as opposed to me sampling the hardware into the Mpc to the pad as you explained. Has that been your findings as well?

Thank you so much. I got rid of mines (Fantom)I want it back now 😅

I’m actually gonna have to do this because I feel more and more that I’m not feeling my music the way I used to when I had a smaller room

I had that same problem. I never figured it out.

And i also got rid of my Fantom So I can’t even attempt to work on it again to help you

@@jltbk5420 it’s crazy! First time I hooked it up everything was perfect. After that I think I changed something and now I have this issue. I know it’s possible but don’t know where I went wrong… Thanks tho! What workstation/keyboard do you have instead of the Fantom?

@@roderickalbus5818if you haven’t made any patches that you want to save just factor reset it

@@roderickalbus5818 All I had was the Fantom but like I said I got rid of it and replaced it with Analog synths. I already had a prophet rev 2 at the time of owning the Fantom. But I just recently grabbed a Moog sub 25 Prophet 6 and Prophet 10. I like the sound of the prophets

I know. It would have. But I wasn’t equipped to show that demonstration. Thanks for commenting

@@jltbk5420 Even a phone recording would have been enough to hear the nuances, i`m looking to get these 80 evo`s over my hs8`s and have nowhere to listen to them, i can only purchase from thomann .

The longer I have them the more I love them and hate them at the same time. 😃😃

@@jltbk5420 i have to replace my Mackie XR824's imo wonderful sounding monitors the tweeters are magic, i'm leaning towards these as I love the sound of metal tweeters and I know the bottom end on these is tight

It was good while it lasted. I got rid of both of them. Got a similar but different set up now.

@@jltbk5420why lol

@@eddiecardona1161 It was a bit redundant. I already own a mpc live, so there was no use to having the same machine especially since I don’t have multiple studios to house it. If I did that would make sense having two current gen Mpc’s. I got rid of the Fantom 6 because they offer those same operating systems as a plug in on Roland cloud. I felt that 3k could be better spent elsewhere.

No. I didn’t. I just plug in a midi controller or one of my synths and achieve the lower octave that way.

Tbh that was my 1st choice but I had a budget. When I get a dedicated studio space I’ll definitely put money where it’s needed (monitoring-acoustic treatment).

Not sure really if a proportion of the praise of the "correction/compensation" feats on various monitors seriously equals its real usability in terms of "solution" to the room and placement. Given the obvious marketing hype, these switches are there to fiddle with the monitor response to compensate for acoustics in particular. One technical fact worth consideration is, that the studio monitor is originally constructed and tuned to perform as flat as possible across the bandwidth in which it is physically able to reproduce the sound. The flat performance is crucial part here. Engaging any kind of room correction (usually via low shelf eq), or high / low trim, directly influences the original flat performance of the monitor, usually as an attempt to sort out the missing or inadequate acoustics. As much as these functions are useful, they can (and quite often are) be also misleading, when engaged. Most of the time, when one needs to "correct" monitor, the issue is the room. The prosumer market expansion lead the music gear brands to develop and offer quite impressive tools for money and quality previously unheard of. Home studio monitoring is a great example. 25 years ago, there were no 8" bass monitors of similar quality for a price the low end/mid end is offered today, not to mention the quality. Thousands of the dollars were invested into rooms and monitors back in the days, today a very good sounding monitor sounds 20% of the price. As the brands are dealing with many new customers buying various affordable monitors, (such as 8") they realized that many semi pro-sumer's preferences do not consider acoustics as vital investment, yet want buy big monitors. Acoustics do not change monitor's performance, but they affect the listener's perception, and the difference between the treated/untreated room is huge. Now without room correction function many brands could be potentially facing bad reputation, coming unjustly from the users complaining about monitor's performance, although the problem is their untreated room or wrong setup. With a bunch of a fiddles at the back og the monitor one can satisfy his "sound" taste, thinking the troubles had been overcome. The truth is, no one can cheat physics.

@@indyawichofficial1346 Everything you’ve mentioned hit the nail on the head. Treatment is the most important part of a music studio. This is exactly what I mentioned in the video before upgrading monitors put that money into treatment however my motivation for upgrading was based on my last set of 8 inch monitors (Yamaha) giving sounds they were busted. If I could do it all over again I’d buy another pair of Yamaha’s. They just sound true to the source. But I agree most of consumer studio monitors can get the job done as long as you train your ear to what the speaker does. In my experience the Krk exaggerates the low end,same as the JBL. As long as you compensate that in the mix any studio monitors would be good but they’d really shine with proper acoustics. Unfortunately I don’t have the luxury of properly treating my set up do to the room I’m using :(

That’s correct. This is what I thought was so special about ordering a mystery pack to sample from. “Never know what you’re gonna get”

Thanks for your input and I will. I wasn’t sure if anyone wanted to hear me ramble or just get on with making music.

Thanks a lot

Thanks man

Ps i also use Studio One 😂

Much respect 🫡

My space is actually pretty big. But you’re right as far as treatment

@@jltbk5420 yeah it's it's because you're sitting so close to the camera. It's hard to see how far away you are from the speakers, but as long as you've got three feet or more from you and the speaker and then 3 feet from the back wall minimal then the eights are a good choice. Any less than that I still go with the recommendation of going with a smaller monitor and a sub. Especially because with room acoustics the low end is the hardest to tune properly. Moving your sub around while taking room measurements can give you a massive leap in acoustic response over the inability to move your speakers.

It’s in there

If you’re on the mpc just select a midi track then on your Fantom select a sound. Make sure you’re on the corresponding midi channel. So if you’re on midi channel one on the mpc the Fantom has to be on channel one as well

@@jltbk5420 I understand that part but what I’m saying is whenever I’m in the menu to setup my midi the part where it says sync mode i only see the options to put it in internal , remote , or external…slave mode is not even an option for me ?

@@SolidKampSounds Ok I see what you mean. I never put it on slave. It syncs through usb. But I also hold shift then whatever midi channel I wanna use on the Roland

Kinda hard to explain without me seeing what you’re screen

Thank you. The song (sample) that I selected had so much space without vocals so I chopped it to do 3 separate takes to alternate while changing sequences.

The price point is not the same. You’d pay $200 more for the alpha series same size 8 inch. IMO the focal sounds great maybe even better than the Yamaha. But for mixing I’d prefer the Yamaha just because I’m familiar with what I’m hearing. They’re flat and for the most part what you’re hearing is most accurate to what will translate in the car or ear buds. If that makes sense. If you’re asking which one should you buy over one or the other. I’d buy both and keep them to demo them against one another and make my decision that way. Return the one you’re least satisfied with. What I like may not work for you that why I say demo them. Just make sure you purchase from someone who has a good return policy.

@@jltbk5420 Thank you so much for your insight mate, cheers.

Glad this video helped.

Yes it is. It’s under Bassline it’s under the preview section under Sub. Thanks for tuning in

@@jltbk5420 thanks!!

@@theserulesoflife anytime 👍🏾

It’s a classic but it’s not the 2kxl. It’s the 2500 with a retro skin on it. That 2k is on my wish list though. ThNks for stopping by
