Hi all,
I need some advice. I've had my AX8 for over a year now and i love the way it sounds when playing with the band at our rehearsal room, going through a mixer and Mackie powered speakers. At home however I've been pretty underwhelmed. Not only does it not sound good but i find it almost impossible to dial in tones that will work well with the band and PA. Would love to hear what setup you guys/gals are using to try to bridge that gap.
My current setup:
AX8 -> spdif -> Focusrite 6i6 -> KRK Rokit 5 Monitors / Bose QC15 Headphones
The Focusrite is connected to a Surface Book laptop.
Requirements: At home i'm primarily playing through headphones, and occasionally through the monitors. I'd first like to make changes to improve sound through headphones, and then in a few months upgrade my monitors. FRFR monitors would be overkill for my place due to size and noise limitations. Some of the changes I've considered are:
1) going XLR instead of spdif
2) getting a different audio interface
3) upgrading headphones
4) upgrading monitors
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
