2 questions are they good for mixing(music production) and and I can’t seem to set the highs and lows correctly to hear a decent sound so what’s the best setting for that?
@@farhanbhatt123 I am using eris 3.5 too without Bluetooth. I think if you are mixing cable connection is better. If you are not a audiophile listener then buy a cheap Bluetooth usb connect with the eris. Way more cheaper than eris Bluetooth one.
I have mackie cr3x, its "definetely" a multimedia speaker. Sound nice, love the vocal, decent bass, and you'll not suffer ear fatigue for long listening session but i dont recommend if you use this for monitor or even music production.
I have the Eris 3.5s and I couldn’t be happier. The mackies sound nice as well but it seems like it’s more for gaming or multimedia than music production. Both great for the price, though.
I've had the Presonus set for a few years and they're great! All i'm missing is a bit more low end, but i'm thinking about adding the Sub8 to the setup
I own a presonus 3.5 for the past two months and it's reall amazing for my small home studio set up 😊 I'm hoping to save money and get my headphones to not disturb my brothers😂
Presonys sounds clearer and better. I can hear the difference when you switch over to Mackie. Damn man I am so excited, I can't wait to get my hands on the Presonus. I am a big audiophile and music collector so I am excited to hear my music on quality speakers and when I am tripping on dissociative and psychedelics I will hopefully blast off to outerspace because of the sound quality
I owned both. Presonus for the win. They're a much better studio quality monitor than the Mackie. Which lacks in those areas to begin with. Decent speaker, but not from a professional studio perspective. Just a nice upgrade from regular PC speakers. The sound quality is night and day here.
The Mackie speakers get great reviews for music but they have a noise gate built in to remove hiss which means for cutting dialogue when video editing I suggest you try before you buy, at low output levels they will reduce any ambient sound between speech to silence in a very unnatural way.
I assume removing the hiss is better than the unbeleivable amount of hiss coming out of Presonus. I can't stand them. I am returing eris 3.5 and 4.5 because of high hissing.
I've got the crx 4 speakers. A lot of rubbish is talked about noise humming ect. It's no problem if you use TRS inputs. They are a bit heavy on the bass. OK for a DJ but maybe not a producer.
The Mackies have a terrible design fault with the LR switch block on the back, I've pulled them apart and it's almost impossible to repair at home, they ultimately fail. I've had to throw away 2 x pairs due to this. Now I'm using Presonus 3.5s all day every day and they are GREAT!!!
I'm on my 2nd pair of mackie CR3s with the same issue! They still work but it's annoying to toggle the switch back and forth and get it just right for them to work. So I'm looking for a replacement. Thanks for your thoughts.
I use presonus as the litmus test for all my mixes. They recreate the BEST speaker and headphone representation of recorded audio. It makes no sense how they’re that good and that small.
I think it would be cool if you did an update on these now that you have moved on to better quality speakers. 3 inch cones, even in a perfect enviroment, are not going to give a budding producer a flat response in the way they need.. they are nice speakers don't get me wrong. I own them, but I wouldn't trust them to mix on... Adam T5V's are probably the best legit "budget" speaker worth suggesting to a novice along side a warning about acoustic treatment. love the videos keep up the good work!
Hello. I just forgot about any choices after discovered CR3-X in Green color limited edition. Ordered right away and today will be delivered. Will make a "unpacking" clip...
I liked this review but to me it was too careful not hearting anyone. I know the choice is the customers, but some technical feature comparison would have been welcomed. I have just seen a couple of your videos and I like the happy, positive vibes of them! Keep up with this great stuff!
I've had my E3,5 for two years+. I use in bedroom secondary studio to do quick takes and jam. also TV and PS2 go thru all. I think they are the best for $$ and how good they sound for that price. Sound best away from back wall at least and tweet even with ears +/-. I like in quite environment you can turn down very low and they are clear and balanced. Still Rocking @ 72!. Z.K.
That’s why I don’t trust speakers. Each type has such a different character that it’s really hard to do any music production on them. That’s just me. I trust a good pair of cans with well trained ears. Yes the mixing and mastering will be better on studio monitors just to check the levels and panning but even then, without a properly treated room, the delay and reverb will be different compared to a well treated room. I had a bunch of studio monitors and I realized they are not something I would use often for bedroom music production. A pair of Audio Technical M50X is enough for me. If i had to get a pair tho….I guess the JBL 10-4 would be my choice.
Owned both. I loved the Mackies but they broke. So I got the Presonus but I found the base sounded really bad, like the deep lows were really loud and oddly painful sounding, even with them turned to minimum bass. I haven't heard the same complaint anywhere so maybe I had faulty speakers
Thanks for this video. At least I don't have the buy monitors as I start my producing journey. I have the Presonus Eris E3.5 monitor speakers and I love them.
Definitely presonus. Presonus is professional studio brand who made Software Presonus studio one, and made audio interfaces, studio mixer, etc. That mackie speakers is still multimedia speaker , not professional studio monitor
A review from someone with the proper knowledge and equipment to do one and not this 'yo it's yo boy...everything I buy is awesome" hipster. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FM4jQh45KyM.html&ab_channel=Erin%27sAudioCorner
For studio monitoring, sure - Presonus are great. But for listening to music - hell no! There are so many speakers that are so much more enjoyable for music listening than these, because Presonus weren't designed for it.
Thanks, I'm gonna get them because of your post. I want them for monitors, not casual listening. I need a flat response and once I think everything sounds good, I have warfedale speakers going through a hifi amp that I can test final production.
@@meagainokay7673 I heard many nice things about Wharfedale and I would love to hear them in person, but there are none in my country. I still love my T7Vs though.
I'm confused between Kali Lp6 and KRK Rokit 7 g4 Could you please make a detailed comparison between them or just reply me for whatever is your suggestions and thoughts about them
I started my day off literally choosing between these two speakers on amazon, and I ordered the Presonus. Curious to hear what playing bass guitar through them will sound like
Forgot to turn off my presonus 3.5 for about 24hrs (no audio was being played the blue power light was just on) the next day they stop working and just a ticking sound when switched on. From my understanding the fuse burned out and there's no way of replacing them and not to mention i just pass my warranty deadline. Anyone suggestions?
Funny how the Mackies connect to you your phone via BT but cannot connect to each other wirelessly. Could be an idea for a new model. Wifi / Bluetooth linking rather than speaker wire.
Any recommendation for monitors that eventually I could use in a bigger room like a living room to mix music with a DJ controller and enjoy with few friends?
Cr4x has v shape eq, good bass but everything is muddy. Not bad but Its not a speaker you want to use for mixing.

@@henryhudaya6314 Based on my internet investigation I found out the presented sound of CR4Xs slightly better for my ears. My goal isn't music composing or mixing, only listening - multimedia usage. Lack of controls (treble and bass) isn't problem too, I have FOSI Audio usb DAC. But the main issue with CR4Xs I found, is their problem with noise. I found some discussions and user reviews complaining about the noise. Seems to be problem CR4X not the original CR4 with higher quality amplifier. I know that @Edward Smith didn't notice any noice with CR3X, but with CR4X seems to be a common issue. Presonus seems to be more reasonable choice for me too.
I bought presonus eris 3.5 3 year ago for playing guitar through there with plug ins 2 days ago was their last use , they are dead. But guess what I will buy it again But the 4.5 version :) I cant find any better choice with this price range Greek market presonus 3.5 101 euros mackie cr3 x 125 euros
Should I not do the same? I'm looking to buy the Audient Evo 8 as my AI and these speakers for monitoring and my mac mini for the DAW software.. I can't sing so its strictly guitar recordings...
its funny the producer in another video tell the mackies is better for mixing , both speaker weak in bass . personally for beginners both are perfect . if you test it in frequency range drop etc, not by ear you see that the mackie is a bit better . if you do big bass music you need the subwoofer for both speaker.
Presonus everything has never been as good as Mackie all the way from their first pre-amps (which sounded gritty. The Mackie 824 monitors were amazing. But this was way before you even had "Hip-Hop" to use as your audio test material! Ha! Mackies were even good enough for George Massenburg.
I have Mackie hr824 mk2s but they're hooked up to my TV, amazing monitors, THX certified. I Have presonus eris e3.5s and a Yamaha sub in my creative space now, still learning to mix on them.
