Isolation of your monitors is something beyond crucial, even if you did not reflect on that yet. Today?s average recording environments (not the ones in the pictures) are usually cluttered desks, in where you are forced to cram as much as you can to get the job done (from the pc keyboard, your midi controller, some small to mid control surface, the laptop itself, the biggest screen you could afford, and an endless of gadgets and miscellaneous crap you need at hand. Then the mix. And with that the rattlings, the reflections, the phantom bass, the elusive eq, the uneven panning. Everything is connected man through the same surface and in the same limited space! But isolation of monitoring is the solution to that. Problem is that as soon as you investigate potential solutions you will end up expensive (or not, makes no difference) horrible grey foam pads and the like, which make your recoding landscape look even messier than already is. These pads offer complete isolation, sustaining weight for most reasonable near field home monitoring, and look fantastic. Unobtrusive, sleek and expensive looking, you will have your isolation needs handled at a very reasonable price. The impact on your sound will be really noticeable and you will get accurate mixes with less audition stress in lesser time. I tried many solutions before this, and I highly recommend it.
