Hi all
I was just wondering what the favourite headphones are for monitoring on this part of the site. I asked about Sennheiser 280s elsewhere, but that's really for close-mic'ed vocalists.

I use Grado headphones, and I'm curious about other people's choices for location phones. I'm thinking of upgrading to more expensive Grado phones, or the Sennheiser HD650.

First post here and I could really use some help.

I've a Windows XP Pro machine with a Creative Soundblaster Extigy external soundcard and I'm running Cubasis VST 4.

Anyone know of a decent MS decoder for field use? The AEA MS38 Lite (headphone amp with MS decoding) was exactly what I was looking for, but it is sadly out of production.

I'm thinking of buying a used Edirol DA-2496 PCI sound card.

The newer Edirol Firewire and USB interfaces (UA-1000 and 101, FA-101) have both a software monitoring and 'zero latency' hardware monitoring mix knob. I don't see any such thing on the DA-2496 break-out box.

Hi all...I just put a project studio together and it's not quite complete but it is in the stage that I can get to work IF I knew what the heck I was doing.

Brief rundown.

You know…

I’m really at my wits end, here. Everything I produce in my project studio sounds too bassy when played on other (less costly) systems. I could draw an obvious conclusion, here…that my studio’s monitoring system isn’t properly calibrated across the audio spectrum, but I know that’s not the case.

I am not sure if I should post this question in this forum or not but here it goes... I record in my house (rock bands mostly, record in one room and mix in a section of a large bedroom) using a DAW with Nuendo 2.0 and a pair of NS10's with a Hafler power amp and gotten very good results at this point.

Can anyone recommend me a affordable talkback mic (mic+stand+switch) to get for my home studio.

I plan to use a cheapo Behringer compressor to duck the background when the mic is enabled.

Hi to all, especially Kurt & David

So what's everybody using to distribute their headphone mixes? Right now I have a Behringer headphone amp, and I really don't like the sound quality.

Any suggestions on an upgrade to use with a Digidesign 002?
