Recommendations for monitors in a home studio

[Monsteri]

Hey all. I am fairly new at doing recordings and I want to dive into the realm of home recording. I have a basic usb interface but I lack monitors. Would be really helpful if you guys could give me tips on what monitors to get. My budget is around 300 €. Any other tips regarding home studio/recording would be really helpful too! Thanks in advance

Suosittelisin säästämään vielä hiukan.

By the bare minimum I'd suggest to wait and save a bit more for KRK VXT4. The difference is big compared to sub 300€ "monitors".

As for tips, play around with the monitors placement a lot, do multiple tests with a frequency generator, walk around in the room to find if you have huge peaks and gaps in the sound etc. Get bass traps in the corners of the room. And mix, mix a lot, it's the only way to get better. Watch Graham Cochrane's "5 Minutes to a Better Mix" youtube series, all 90+ episodes of it.

Behringer 2030A monitors are the best you can have with that money. Worth the price.

Thanks! I'll probably save up more then. It's christmas time soon anyways

Get one with a minimum 6 inch speaker, buy the best used one you can get.

Take a look at the Tannoy 802's (8" speakers). They are well priced and are a big improvement on the bass over my KRK RP6 G2's.
