I just purchased some Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones and gave them a listen...and they're pretty great! But, maybe, and this might be an opinion as opposed to an observation, but they might be just a touch flat? Maybe I'm imaging things, and I am pretty tired...just wanted your thoughts on these 'phones and any others that are great for monitoring in roughly the same price range!

how do i know what sound card is best for my pc recording, i am using a dell latitude 600, adobe audition 1.5, an AT2020 microphone going into a Xenyx802 then into the laptop. Someone had recommended the Lexicon Alpha.
Am i losing microphone quality by not having a soundcard? any help would be appreciated,

Did a short recording session yesterday for some scratch tracks for a couple of song demos. The drummer was using a 22" Zildjian K Custom Dark Ride Cymbal. There was an annoying (to my ears anyway) ringing sound that when I first heard it I thought came from mic placement, but after several adjustments to no avail, I realized it was the cymbals sound itself.

I would like to get someone who plays either the trumpet, trombone or sax to play a track for me. Does anyone here know anyone or how I could find someone to do this?

I have recently purchased an interface. It has two inputs. I have used both a keyboard and a guitar. For some reason when i listen to the recording, I hear clicks that sound almost like cell phone interference in some parts. It is not too loud but it is definantly noticeable. What could be causing this?
Could it be a faulty 1/4 cable?
Is there a tool to fix it?

I recently got a new computer that didnt have a firewire port on it so I had a Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller put in it. I plugged my PreSonus Firestudio into it and ranCubase LE 4. It worked perfectly fine until my computer randomly restarted.

Short story long-

i need to get two new HDs for my new DAW. one for the OS and one for storage. i need quiet ones, are any particular models more quiet than others? (i use WD personally) any specific things you look for besides seek times and 7,200rpm?

Anyone know of a cheap/free good quality converter? wav to mp3.

I just purchased an old Shure Green Bullet with a metal handle/ switch and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how old it is etc.

It's a 520 SLB with what appears to be the original transducer. It's marked Shure Brothers, Made in USA.

Model # 99C86HB

Anyone got any info on what I've got here?...
