hey guys, I'm brand new to these forums, just found them so just saying hi. since I'm here posting this, i decided i'd post up the list of gear i have in my home studio now that i've completed a huge update. here it is!
-iMac 20" (Late 2006) - OSX Leopard/Windows XP Professional
Specs: 2.16ghz Intel C2D, 3GB, ATI X1600 128MB, 250GB
I'm setting up a simple recording room. The space available is one small room so it must double as both sound and control room. I was planning on getting some circumaural, closed-back headphones for both monitoring and hearing protection. But I will only get about 20db drop and I want more.
Im in the midst of buying some new headphones for my talent. Now usually when the talent is laying down his vocals, he likes to hear the music coming through the headphones really LOUD.. We use Pioneer's HDJ 1000, and i know they area DJ headphone, but when i go to play back the vocals, the sound from the headphones is being picked up by the micorphone..
Im looking for the most accurate circumaural reference cans I can get for around $150-300.00(usd).
Any info would be greatly appreciated...

Ok, so I've been trying to do my homework so I can figure out exactly what to get for my studio. Here's what I've come up with, I'd appreciate it if anyone could look this list over and see if I'm missing anything, and see if they would change anyhting on this list, and why, or if this is a good set up to start with. I've included the links to everything as well for a better descritpion.
I normally record spoken-word voice with a RODE mic while monitoring background tracks with Ultrasone HF1-650 Trackmaster cans. No problem there.
