Re: Reference Monitor for grading

[Jose Arce] "And the most important thing is monitoring."

Yes, but well, really its an important thing, but...

your grading environment can be very significant, as well -- ambient lighting, viewing angles, backdrops, and so on. Grading is not editing. Its not even like editing.

Imagine you are a perfume/cologne tester.... How's that going to work if someone has placed a big bouquet of Stargazer lilies (which I think stink) next to your sniff-test? Or better yet, you are a beer-taster (can I have that job, please?) but someone insists you have to lick somebody's armpit between sips? (Not this part.)

Its not about the tools themselves, sometimes, its how they go together.
