Best studio monitoring headphones under £80

So, I'm starting my first year of college in a music performance course. I need a pair of decent headphones for under £80.

I have done research but I can't decide what pair will be best for me. I have looked at AKG's, krk's, samson and Sony.

I will be using these in the studio and for mixing tracks. I want a pair that has a nice low end but also keep crisp and clean high's.

Avalon, Focusrite ISA430 MKII, or SPL Frontliner? Which one to get?

Hey guys,
I really need good advice! feedback or anything that can help me choose between these 3 Channel Strips.

I can buy any of these and I need to get one fairly soon. I think I’ve read almost everything online regarding these Channel Strips, but the votes are so 50/50, so can’t make up my mind, especially if you can’t test them all.

Ghost tracks

Hey everyone. I don't know if anyone else has run into this problem but it seems like I've been getting an awful lot of ghost tracks when I'm working on a song... It happens at least once in the last 5 songs I recorded and it is driving me up the wall bc I spent so much time into these songs. I tried deleting the file from the Explorer window but that still doesn't help..

Dynamic use of a compressor

Forums

Hi fellows,

I was just wondering if anyone use or tried this technique I'm thinking about for several days now.
Maybe it's a common thing but my brain just figured that possibility by itself lately !

Many agree that a bit of compression on the master-bus will glue your mix but what if you want to keep more of the level changes of the song from verse to chorus etc..?

If you were interested in a DAW control surface

Which would you be looking at?

I'm just curious... I've given some thought lately to having an actual surface from which I could work in a more tactile fashion, as opposed to "mousing" every command, particularly when it comes to the mixing end of things.

I'm woefully out of touch with what's out there these days when it comes to control surfaces.

How to build my new acoustic room ?

Hy everyone,
I recently bought Owens Corning oc703 acoustical panels (18 panels).
And i dont know how to make the panels (with wood frame or without), to cut them in half and put in the corners or just put them without cutting in the middle, where exactly to put them etc...
And also i bought burlap fabric which i heard is good for this type of panels.
