Types of Headphones

Okay so I want some really nice professional headphones. I have done some research but I have no idea what some of the terms mean. Like what is the difference between mixing, tracking, and monitoring headphones? Also should I get studio headphones or audiophile headphones? I intend to use them for the soul purpose of listening to music and watching movies.

Guitar rig latency problems!

So, today I started my home music production career :D and I bought myself an M-Audio Avid recording studio, very simple to plug and set-up got myself into playing 5 minutes after. The only problem that I have is that when I use guitar rig 5 there's an intermittent sound when it starts usually at 512 samples which makes me put it up to 2048 samples and increase the delay up to 100 ms.

Higher Volume/ Lower Distortion

So I have a Yamaha EMX5014C mixer. I have it plugged into my computer to record into MixCraft6. I can record, but when all my levels are up, (the recording level on MixCraft is up, the volume is up on MixCraft, the volume is up on my computer speakers, the gain and compression are both all the way up on the mixer), I still have a very low and distorted recording.

Troubleshoot Mackie 32x8 Master Section

We removed the Master section of Mackie 32x8 board for cleaning. There are two 7 pin (Power?) connectors that are interchangable and I managed to reverse them. Now, of course, the mixer does not work. Lights on the channel strips are on but the Master Section is dark. Any ideas what can be done to repair the mixer or at least start troubleshooting?

Mixing Console and Automation

hey guys, i've started a home recording studio for almost 2 years now and i've managed to buy some decent gear(monitors, midi keyboard, maschine, audio interface and so on). I decided to do my own mixing and mastering for my own songs and i thought a mixer would be useful but i like to do it ''in the box''. I DONT like analog gear.
