ive been making music for about a year now and i just recently saved up some money and have thought about getting some monitors and a decent sound card. i want to mainly use the equptiment for trance but there are some non trance stuff ive been meaning to record on guitar too. i probably don't want to spend over 300 dollars per monitor but ive been looking into a few monitors, mainly the krk rokkits and just recently i was looking at the Mackie M5 active monitors which i dont know much about. does anybody have any suggestions on which monitor would be good at an introductory level without a high price? as for the sound card im thinking about the M-audio delta 1010lt. any advice or suggestion is appreciated, thanks.
