Hi Great People of the world.
I am trying to find the optimal positioning for my monitors in my home studio (primarily for Mixing).
There are 2 different positions, both with a good 'Phantom Centre, Depth and Imaging.
The problem that I have is that at Position 1, the Soundstage is even and balanced but the sound from the L/R Speakers blend within the Soundstage, while in Position 2, even though the Soundstage is even and balanced as well, the sound from the L/R Speakers is distinctive - meaning that I can hear Left Spkr distinctively from the Right Spkr and vice versa.
My question is:
Should the sound blend more like Position 1 or is it better to have the separation that Position 2 offers?
Which would be a more real and accurate representation of a Mix, while Mixing for the real world?
Thanking you all in advance,
Chris
