ey stress,
i blew my pc speakers like a long time ago ever since i connected my pc to my stereo, cause them speakers on my stereo are far much better than my old pc speakers..
so if you got a good stereo and got in the same place as your pc, i would connect to it..
at the moment i'm lookin into buying a good setup here, including monitors..

Suggestions on PC speakers

Ive had my stereo hooked up though the AV out put's and into my sub woofer then from the sub to the computer its a sure method coz theres two volume controls, and most of the bass goes to were it belongs.

don't buy pc speakers.
I got a yamaha amplifier and some decent speakers hooked to my computer.
that is a whole lot better than pc speakers.

Wut i do, whether its beats from hardware or on the computer:

I have little $20 Powered Monitors from creAtive that i got at staples. I use those and some studio headphones for just layin out the beat pretty much, no mixing though. Then when i wanna get into detail or start mixing i use Carver Studio Monitors (or somethiing with a flat frequency range). And I have some car subs hooked up to an amp so i can fine tune the bassline and really tell what the lowend sounds like up close.


I use the creAtives and the headphones to lay down the beat so that i dont use up too much power and i dont have to go and turn on the amps and all the monitors every time i wanna work.

I really sugges using a setup something like this, its a lot neater (not cool neat, i mean neat like clean), and its easier for me. If it dont sound like you, thats cool but i think its worth a try.

skip the pc speakers. they color the sound way too much. get some cheap monitors if possible. i have some crappy bookshelf speakers from radio shack. and they sound way more transparent than my pc speakers. i have some harmon kardon pc speakers and they have some built in 3d effect. so all the background vocals sound louder than the regular vocals. and don't let me get started on effects. fuck pc speakers

actually i have some harman/kardon pc speakers and they have customizable setting that are pre-set by engineering for different types of wrk you're doing... .they're fresh.... and when you switching the setting you can hear the differents... like in normal pc computer mode... the sound is colored just like merc said.... but i would to look into some decent monitor...check pawnshops.... it's a producers wetdream and nightmare....(some of yall can testify on that).....

pawn shops are obsolete, ebay is the way to go. Just be careful on who you bid on. Bid on sellers no less than 40 or 50 feedback with 98 to 100% positive replys.

Anyways don't waist your money on pc speakers just wait a few months to gather some money and get some low end monitors, you will thank those who recommended monitors to you believe me!
