@@YOLO-pj3hhI’m going to try and answer this as best as I can and you may or may not like my response. To quickly answer, yes! You could mix and master on them, however, the room will play a huge role in whether they work for you or not. Also your personal taste will play into it. You will definitely learn how to hear things differently with these. They are detailed throughout the frequency spectrum. The fact that they are 3-way really helps you be able to distinguish and separate elements of frequencies. In my opinion just about any studio monitor would work once you understand how they translate. Hope this helps 😅

Bro, you got a pair that was functioning perfectly. The white noise issue isn't something that arises over time, either your set has them or doesn't. Yours didn't. Mine currently do but I've bypassed it by turning the gain on the back down and I've been working through 6+ hour sessions fine. Barefoot customer support already sent me a label to ship mine out for a fix. Their customer service is incredible and responsive. What matters is what YOU are hearing. Those monitors seem to have made you a better engineer and would've made you even better over time. You should've kept them instead of downgrading based off other peoples experiences. I say get them again, screw those Adams bro.

I’ve found that there is a piece that tends to burn out on them that causes the white noise. Also, why would I keep a set of monitors that I would likely have to send back to the company to repair? If I need my monitors, I would hate to have to send them back occasionally to get repaired. I’ve never had to do that with any set of monitors I’ve owned and I’ve own quite a bit of them. More than likely, these aren’t the only set of 3way monitors available. This was just my introduction. I like them but at the moment, I don’t trust that they’ll be solid for a long period. No one knows yet because they are so new. We can only hope that they are as solid as we need them to be. So if they are shipping out speakers that have that problem to begin with, how good is there quality control? With that being said, I’ll wait until more time goes by. Appreciate your input and feedback

Lots of noise in studio monitors is a damn shame. I had to return my KRK Rokit 10-3 G4's for that same reason too. I loved those speakers and how they reproduced music too, but the constant white noise drove me crazy. I hope Barefoot is able to solve this issue.

Sorry to hear that your forever monitors had issues. I have been using focal for years and when I had the chance to upgrade to the flagship trio 06's I jumped on it. When you go from 2 way to 3 way it really does change the way you hear everything. When you're using them daily it really makes you mix naturally even while you are tracking. You can clearly hear things in positions and sonically that you just don't notice with 2 ways. I have a second pair of avantones that I use as an alternative reference which gives me a more personal perspective for smaller devices. Hopefully you find your forever pair.... that will give you the experience you were looking for..

@@CLEANMUDVIDEOS Yes I have been using them for 3 years now. I migrated to them from a pair of Focal Alpha's 8's which I had for more than 8 years. So being a 2 way user was all had ever experienced until I got the Trio 6's. Focal is very different from the Barefoots the highs are smooth with the beryllium they use for the tweeter. You can crank them and they remain very smooth. The low end is insanity... and you have to really control it. The room I am in is not optimal for the Trio 6's. I have had to work with an acoustician and find ways to control the low end in my space. I need one more ceiling mounted rear bass trap to improve my left side imbalance, but my room is so small that adding it would make me feel trapped. I have had to tune them down bass wise to not have them knocking things off the walls when they are at high volume. Bass wise I hear tight and defined low-end and can make sound decisions because of the accuracy of what I am hearing. I can crank them and not worry that it is skewing my perception. My mixing is a work in progress. It's better than it was previously before I started paying attention to the overall sound. I love the sound quality of focal they are flat, but very dynamic and allow me to hear things that I never noticed with my old 2 ways. I still have to have an alternative reference so the avantones will always be part of my setup as well.

Sometimes it will. Also, the wide spread issue that I was seeing, made me rethink that purchase. If I hear that the issue is fixed, I could possibly purchase them again. I had read that the issue happened again after switching them out too. If that’s an issue I could avoid, then I’m avoiding it. The sound was dope, I just wasn’t in for taking that chance.

I made great mixes with the Adam A7X + Adam Sub. Then I upgraded to Neumann KH310. I also use a pair of Mixcubes and a single mono Auratone. The Neumanns are so quit, no noise or anything and so linear it is scary. I would allways prefer Neumann over Barefoot speakers. And the meme-function on the Barefoots…isn‘t that just an eq? They did not sound like MixCubes or NS10s for me, so I would rather pick real NS10 or CLA10 for second reference.

@CLEANMUDVIDEOS

2 ай бұрын

Nice! I’ve never used the ns10s nor the cla10s. I don’t think the meme is just an EQ curve as much as it is the response of the speaker itself. I’ve never looked into the Neumann monitors. Do you run them with a sub like you did the Adams?

Bro you look sad as heck in this video. Trust me I feel your pain. I haven't heard the Bearfoot FP03, but what you described is pretty much what I've been hearing about them (good and bad). There's just nothing like a high quality 3 way monitor for sure. Once you go 3 way its hard to go back to 2way. I actually have some Dynaudio LYD-48s which are about the same price as your Barefoots (maybe a hundred or so more). But they sound fantastic. You should definitely look into those if you are interested in keeping some 3 ways at the same price point.

I recently switched to PMC 6-02 from an Adam 2 way system. It took me over a month to really acclimate to the 3 ways and I don't think I could go back. I'm not a fan of Barefoots DSP. Their cabs are not specifically well designed and they rely on DSP to achieve a good frequency response. I prefer a speaker that starts with a great cab design and lean on DSP as little as possible. If you like the ADAMs and want 3 way the new Adam A8h are fantastic monitors. I like them way better than any Barefoot I've sat with.

White noise add inaccuracy in reproduction of original audio source. It is unacceptable for studio monitors. Good u sent them back 4 good. Cuz they produce same hiss even after return from Barefoots repair shop under warranty. Same white noise hiss is present in KRK V8,R10 Rokit series. Therefore Barefoots and KRK are NOT suitable for critical listening or studio work. People exposed to white noise experience nusea n' headache.🤯
