Music engineers

I was just curious how many musicians we have on VN and what your studio consist of, what type of music you do, etc.

I just bought some used Rokit monitors about 6 months ago and one of them stopped working suddenly last night. Anyone else run across this?

I have two dead as can be KRK Rokit 8 monitors. I had a Digi 002 setup for a while but it is currently down. I am a guitarist for the most part and I think i will do a really simple little USB based setup the next time around.

The speakers were great until they died but I am 99% sure it was due to a lightning strike so not their fault.

I run Reason with the Balance interface, Mackie studio monitors. It's a great, relatively inexpensive setup for a solo musician. I play mostly acoustic guitar and piano, but the Line 6 effects are great for electric guitar, and I've had fun with the Kong and other drum effects.

To the OP: are your monitors powered?

 

[gobravesvols16]

If they are powered you might have cooked your amp. Either way just use the process of elimination. Swap out cables, open them up and see if a wire has come loose,etc. Some speakers have fuses installed so check for that too.

Yeh man they're powered. I'm scared to take it apart but it looks like I may not have a choice.

I'll have to check those out.

Mine had a spare fuse included. It didn't help in my case but work a look. If they are like the "8" version it is just below the plug for power. There should be two fuses in inside the cover, one being a spare.

Oh, found a pic:

I have the 824s, and they are they have the most perfect sound I've ever heard from speakers. You can find them for $699/pc on Sweetwater. They are heavy as crap, so make sure you have good stands.

sweet man thanks, I'll probably check that out after taking the kids out Friday :hi:

No luck. Fuse was good. I'll get into eventually. Still have one monitor to play with, and just purchased Battery 4. I'll find a way to have fun

I play my hammer dulcimer daily.
