I'm listening to Minus the Bear - Planet of Ice on vinyl. The guitars sound amazing and you can really tell they were recorded with a room mic in parts. When I listen to the digital mix of planet of ice I don't hear the depth of the guitars. Is this my D/A mainly? I'm using KRK RP6 monitors right now. Which aren't the best, but I'm wondering if upgrading my d/a will give me the depth I need to hear in mixes. Unless It's just a digital/vinyl thing.
