    I disagree. My NS10s are my primary speakers. If you keep in mind 2 things then they can work for you.
    1. They are midrange sounding for a reason and if you avoid scooping the mids, boosting the highs and lows then you can get to the primary purpose of the speakers which is -
    2. Working in the midrange. All speakers sound different and mostly because of the range on the top end and bottom end. But all speakers cover the midrange. That's where the real action is. And that's great for getting a balance between vocals and instruments. And most of my clients, for better or worse, are listening to music on cell phones, ear buds or computer speakers anyway.
    If you can make a mix work in the midrange the rest will follow.
    Of course I do switch to 2 other set of speakers during a mix, but I've mixed many hit records including a Grammy winning album primarily on NS10s.

      I also disagree with the video, but in addition to everything you've said, I would add that the very low group delay inherent in the sealed enclosure design is an incredibly useful attribute for nearfields, and I never see anyone talk about it!

      ​@@aydotbeethe low group delay is in fact more useful than the specific frequency response, IMO. this is always gonna be debated because it's harder to even explain to folks but the proof is in the pudding. but I believe this feature is NS-10s makes any painful aspects of your mids more painful. anything confusing or crowded will call more attention to itself.

    My first experience with NS10s was hilarious. I was a teenager at Berklee and recording in the big studio there (first time I ever touched an SSL). As a young production student, needless to say, I was pretty mindblown at all of this incredible gear…and behind this spaceship SSL, facing this gorgeous collection of outboard gear were these irritating little black and white speakers. I’ll never forget the way they “fizzed” at me…my first impression was so distinctive…to me, they FIZZED. I knew intrinsically that they served a purpose and that engineers must’ve used them for surgical listening but they were just awful to my teenage brain. 20 years later, I understand the deal but man…I’ll never forget all of this incredible sounding gear being piped into those awful little Yamahas. What a first impression lol

    The first time I got ns10s, I felt my mixing skills went from 0-60. It was like a lightbulb in my head and I felt like I finally got it. My mixes translated for the first time. Try them, you might like the way they sound. They do not sound awful at all , like everybody says. I just don't get it how they sound awful. Play some classic rock on them with good midrange and you'll understand why they sound awesome. Guitars, snares, vocals sound amazing when its mixed well. Also the lack of bass makes them more compatible with bad rooms. And the lack of any fancy dsp makes them sound natural, and the fast transient response in them make them awesome for dialing in compression or eq.

    NS10's were always used as part of a multiway speaker set up, never alone. Plenty of hits were mixed on them in that configuration too ( especially UK dance music in the 90's, you'd find them on the back of pretty much every large format studio desk I ever used in London for sure ) you can't really argue with that heritage to be honest.
    Not as relevant now as they once were, but still good as a grot box for sure.

    Crazy bro hahah I still use the NS-10m studios without the sub as mains and I make heavy 808/rnb/dance music most of the time though I'm finding out more and more that WITH the sub, it's translating much better. I can usually dial in distortion for low end/808's much better without though.

    i use NS10's for focus on midrange, and proac 100's as the "inverse" of what the NS10s convey. Finishing is done on Adam A7s with a sub, and Sony MDR-7506's. Never been more satisfied with all the information this configuration provides for a mix. "Why you shouldn't use NS10's" is a silly title - they still do a job, and they still do it very well. You can get CLA-10's and when we compared them to a pair of original NS10s, there was no audible difference. They are still a more-than-relevant choice.

    Almost every Yamaha Ns10 video has someone in the comment section that says "once you nail the mid range, the rest will follow". Im buying a pair next week but my question is this: If the Yamaha Ns10s struggle with high end and low end performance, [meaning the highs and lows dont exist or struggle to exist?] how does the rest of the bass, kick drum and hi hats follow if it is struggling to exist or have a roll off? Or is the process of "nailing the mid range first" means that Im able to master the high and lows on the Ns10s? Or do I have to get a next pair of monitors to master the hi and lows?
    I hope this question makes sense and someone is able to give me an accurate answer. Thanks for reading.

    IMHO It's important to remember that near field is a listening position, not a type of monitor. You can be in the near field of an 18" JBL woofer and it won't do you much good. Whatever you choose for near field monitoring - more or less arm's length distant, because that minimizes the effect of the room - it should produce its flattest output at low to mid 80 dB spl output (using an spl meter at the listening position). Why 83-85 dB? Because that's where most human ears are flattest per the Fletcher-Munson curve.

    I don't agree that the main thing about the response of NS10s is that it makes you add a smile curve - It's more that because the sound is almost entirely midrange, you work harder on getting that range to be balanced and musically exciting, to fight against the limits of the speakers

    I got the 'modern' ns10's which are the CLA-10's. Changed my mixes to a different level. They're my B monitors, but I find myself working on them more, as I am getting more and more familiar with them. I should say though, these monitors are CRAP, but I believe that's the point. Where these monitors shine, other than the midrange, is also the stereo field, being sooo transparent, letting you pocket your components perfectly, giving you such a 3D mix. Another is things like reverb and being able to really understand and flesh out the tail end. To anyone considering pulling the trigger, I warn you, be prepared to be initially let down, but the reward is waiting later. Also, don't start mixing straight away, give it time and use them as 'listening' monitors to just hear your favourite music and even some of your older mixes. Once you feel confident you know what's going on, give it a shot in a project.

    Monitoring is about what works for you. Like Eric, I do not get on with Genelecs. I also can't stand ATC or PMC. In the end, I went with Living Voice passive floor-standing speakers, which I have mounted so that the tweeters are at ear level. The speakers probably do not measure very accurately, because they were designed by ear rather than by measurements. Newsflash: we listen using ears, not using measurement equipment. So, every style of music, at every SPL, sounds natural but also incredibly detailed. My own mixes now translate vastly better than on any studio monitor I have used over the last 20 years or so. YMMV.

    I see the NS10 as a representation of "the avarage livingroom speaker" in peoples homes around the world. Back in the days when they build the NS10s I believe the avarage cheaper speakers in peoples homes sounded more midrange than cheap low end stereo speakers now a days. So at the time it probably did make more sence to cross tjeck the mix at NS10s to make your mix sound as good as possible for the kind of speakers most people had at the time. If the mix only sounds good for audiophiles then you will not satisfy the majority of people in the world. Audiophiles with huge systems want to play with their extra tools anyway, EQs etc. I like to use the NS10 for the reason mentioned and/or to tjeck if my mix have too much midrange. If the mix "sounds like NS10s", listening at NS10s, then there is not too much midrange. I would never do a mix only at NS10s.

      He actually said he couldn’t recommend them... but yeah! And for that price you don’t get amplifiers. There’s a good review on the Strauss site that recommends amps that cost around €330.

    the thing about ns10 from my own little experience is that they take the character of the amp driving them immaculately. if you use solid state you're going to get a very sterile and somewhat lifeless sound, despite the "accuracy". however on the other if you're willing to let go a little of that "accuracy" and use a tube based power amp to run them, boy do they sound "nice", I don't how accurate but definitely "nice" and enjoyable.

  • @amdenis
    @amdenis 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The truth is that regardless of the monitors used, the engineer has to learn how a mix translates. NS10’S ARE NOT BRUTALLY HONEST. They are fatiguing, midrange dominant, and quite distorted in mid through higher frequencies. What they are is limited in terms of lows and extended highs. Given that most studios are not capable of supporting bass below 85Hz in terms of room dimensions, and that 20 Hz requires bout 58 feet minimum in at least 1 dimension to not fold back into midrange, limited low frequency support may be about the best thing NS10’s have going for them.
    If they were “brutally honest” mastering engineers would use them… but they do NOT use NS10’s because they lack fidelity.

  • @davidclarkson3066
    @davidclarkson3066 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thé mistake to make, is to eq to NS10's. They're not 'designed' for that purpose. Their main purpose is for balance, volume balance, fx balance, dynamics balance, that's it. If you want to eq, get a second set. I always laugh really hard, when people only rant about frequencies, and forget about the rest. Adam, Genelec, they all suck.
