Hey Guys,
I want to buy some new stuff and i can't decide what...
Either a subwoofer (the Adam Sub8) or a new Interface (probably
the Saffire Pro 24).
What is more important? At the moment I own a pair of Adam A3X' as
monitors and the Pod Studio Gx as interface. With the subwoofer
i'd be able to hear and mix the low-end better. And with the Saffire
I'd get better DI's.
What would be the better investment to improve my mixes? :kickass:
 
I think those monitors are good enough, i mean...all you have to do is find your favorite mix and just compare your sound to your favorite professional mix and try to imitate the sound as best as possible, or you can go for your own sound that sounds good to you. I would go for the Saffire Pro 24. I myself use a toneport ux2 which isnt too different from your interface, a lot of respected individuals on these forums (at least from what Ive seen) use something similar to us, a few of them have yours or the toneport ux1 and still achieve great guitar tones. So its really up to you....because i know sometimes when i hear music in a car with nice subs i really enjoy some of the pounding kicks that i wouldn't be able to hear on my monitors. So its up to you my friend i would still probably go for the interface.
 
Thanks for the advice dude ! :)
Year, it's really hard to decide. I mean, I don't know if the quality
difference between the Pod gx und for example the Saffire Pro 24
is SO audible. It would be really frustrating if I wouldn't even notice
the difference...
A sub could be really helpfull to be better able to hear things, like
you mentioned, those kicks or even subbases. But on the other
hand it also could make my mixes worse, because my treatment
isn't that good.
