The novice requires input from those who have experience enough to help them get around the things that they don't know that they don't know, Matt.

An analogy might be someone without knowledge of your and my primary instrument, the Trumpet, wishing to get started or start a youngster - and thinking they can get by with a bargain horn found at a garage sale or the likes but has no way of being able to check that horn out properly.

Starting the novice out on a leaky trumpet, or one with malfunctioning valves, frozen tuning slide, whatever, is not only detrimental but may prove to be such an unsatisfying experience that the novice might just quit and might just spend the rest of their lives thinking that the problem was themselves.

The same can be said for attempting to mix home recordings without some usable modicum of monitor speakers, typically should be the Nearfield Monitor Speaker approach, which is a concept in and of itself that the novice may not yet understand.

But at least they will not be hearing the limited bandwidth, low headroom stuff that comes out of the tiny little speakers that come out of the box with the computer.
