A new look also

You might have noticed I changed the look of my blog also? I was gettting bored of the white so decided to use a more classy beige colour scheme. Opinions?

Also keep checking in on my Soundcloud page for older Small Colin tracks. I'll be uploading a few more today so feel free to have a listen to how I sounded in the past.

KRK Rokit RP-5 G2

By the title of my post you may be able to tell what I have just obtained for my studio… if not, they are the name of my brand new nearfield monitors (loudspeakers to everyone else).



What can I say about them? I know, they are absolutely amazing!!! So far today I've been trying out all the genres I could imagine & they are killing every single one. The sound is both crisp & clean whilst the bass is booming just the way it should. This applies to all volume levels by the way. I honestly can't believe I went so long on just a normal set of (albiet good quality) stereo speakers.

For now i've got them lined up along side my older speakers so I can break myself into learning their qualities rather than just going directly over to them. The main reason being I know the old ones so well now that I can use them to help me adjust to the KRK's. My thoughts are to eventually get rid of the older pair but we'll see how that goes. I might just hold onto them as the set-up looks pretty great with both units in place. Judge for yourself in some of the pics below





I'm really looking forward to working on some of my own material with these monitors now (as you can imagine). As always, I'll post some details when I'm happy with something & its ready to share.

Keep listening!

Soundcloud

I finally got around to setting a page up on Soundcloud after many months/years of essentially being stubborn. Get yourself over there to check out some (mainly) older tracks of mine from a few years back. And please, feel free to leave any comments on the tracks.

Small Colin @ Soundcloud

While I'm here I can give you an update on the forthcoming Small Radio ep. I'm currently adding the absolute final touches on the four tracks. Then I'll send them onto Scott and he'll master them. Then around August the ep will be released for public consumption. (I know I previously said it would be in June but due to yours truly just having a baby the project has been pushed back slightly.)

Hope everyone is well & enjoying the sunshine. Have a great summer!
