My Current Vocal Chain Set up is

Mojave 200 >> Avalon 737 >> Motu Ultra Lite >> YHM 8S

And I wanted to step my vocal chain up a lil more....I was told by a friend quoted from a aim convo

-------

BrandonHeat (3:56:26 PM): you should by dynaudio monitors... or an actual good monitor... not a reference monitor... that should be first

BrandonHeat (3:56:39 PM): so you can actually mix on something good

BrandonHeat (4:00:25 PM): people use the monitors you have as reference monitors... not mixing monitors... most studios use BIG ass dynaudios lol the bm5a's are really what you need... they are flat... your aren't... you mix on a dynaudio you get the sound you want... and it's universal
-------

so he's claiming I need better monitors to mix on and worry about converters later....which I've heard from soooo many people converters makes everything sound sooo much better and forsure the Rosetta 200 is a huge upgrade from the motu.....my friend said still
-------

BrandonHeat (4:04:09 PM): real talk... you could use them more...

BrandonHeat (4:04:20 PM): ad/da isn't shit if it's going to a shit set of monitors...

BrandonHeat (4:22:57 PM): you'd have a better signal going in... with almost the same signal coming out... because of the monitors... which does nothing cause you won't hear what you're mixing anyway lmao

BrandonHeat (4:24:22 PM): adam makes great monitors... dynaudio makes better ones for the price...

BrandonHeat (4:30:57 PM): the ones you have a referenece monitors... it's like recording with a mxl 660 just to put the verse down and doing it later one a nuemann mic...

BrandonHeat(4:31:11 PM): yamaha = mxl... dynaudio/adams = nuemann

BrandonHeat (4:31:12 PM): feel me?

BrandonHeat (4:31:21 PM): just an example... mad extreme but still lol
-------

I mean I feel my mixes are pretty good coming from these monitors I've been using theses for a few years now also having the yahama sub ... I won't say my mixes are perfect but I aim still working on my mixing skills....but I do wanna step up some where in my gear chain since I have the extra money...I really had my eyes on getting a better converter....so much I went to guitar center today and I pretty much got a deal going 12,000 + SOLO 610 trade for a Brand New ROSETTA 200.....which in my mind seems like a great deal when they only sell them used at $500 and I never use my 610 any more since I got the Avalon....so I came back home to think the deal out some more and see if theROSETTA 200 is going be better for me or is it some new monitors I need more....I'm soooo stuck and lost right now....I only have like 1000 - 1500 to spend....please yall get me right before I do something stupid...what should I do??
