Isolation headphones for home recording?

Hi everyone,

I have been building my own home studio. As such, I'm the main engineer/perfomer here, so I have to track while playing.

Do you guys think isolation headphones could help in setting stuff like mic placement, for example, when recording electric guitars and drums? Or a pair of good closed-back headphones would suffice?

Thanks.

home recording help

I am primarily a musician, with very little recording experience. I need some general help. My band members and myself have recently bought some rec. equipment, and I want to know the amount of quality I can expect. We just bought a Fostex Vf-160, a Nady drum mic kit, 2 sm 57's, a 58, and a Shure bg 4.1. Another question, the vf-160 records 8 tracks simultaneously out of the box.
