I have a small home studio and just want to get an opinion on mixing using headphones vs monitors. Good idea / Bad idea? Please let me know.

Thanks

Just curious what everyone uses for thier clients cans. I have a few singers that require AKG 270 or like, but I was wondering if I can go cheaper? Lately had some abuse issues.

I am a guitarist with no recording experience. I have just bought a Tascam digital Portastudio (8 track) and I have started to experiement with my setup. I play a Cort Source (ES-335) with a Hughes & Kettner practice amp and I really like the sound.

Can anyone recommend a reasonable priced good headphone amp I need a minimum of 4 channels. I'd like to stay around $100.00 if possible.

Hi all,
I'm looking for which headphones to buy for my studio, mainly for putting vocals down and some editing work when my 2 year old is sleeping.
I want really good quality, which is best? Would $500 ish get something pretty special?
I'd apreciate any feedback.
Thanks
:D

I have a home studio, for now I'm just doing my own stuff. I am new to recording and have a question on Headphones. I need to buy two headphones, one for me to do the mixing and the other for musicians playing, guitar, bass etc..

What is the difference between closed headphones, open headphones, and Hi FI Pro Stereo headphones.

my teacher was suggesting that I should get a pair of Grado SR80's?

In my quite compact home studio, my rackmount headphone amp works fine, however I'd like to put a more versatile setup together for location work. It looks like I'll have a big gig in the near future which will involve headphones widely distributed on a stage.

I have a couple of techie questions which I was hoping someone familiar with equipment would be able to answer. First of all, my set-up.

M-Audio Firewire Solo connected to Rolls Ha-43 Headphone amplifier, connected to a Tascam VL-X5 (monitor speakers).

Okay, here are the questions:

Specific problem

Hi! I do not know what headphones to buy to reduce the sound from them on the track with vocal? So i do look for sound quality they make, i just want the minimum sound leakage. Thanx
