I bought a Trace Elliot SMX Dual Compressor from Dave He went over and beyond to help me and to make sure i was happy a totally Cool Dude, and a pleasure to deal with I would recommend him thoroughly HowardH

Problem Solved Buying both bass and guitar Floor pods

wow. thanks Lawrence, i think that i will do it this way then, i will get the sennheiser's first, then keep looking for Alesis to come up on Ebay, from that point just keep playing my favourite music on them, get used to the sounds and then focus on getting as close as i can. People keep saying that they hear The Cure in my music so i guess i should play cure a lot. lol but if anyone out they has Sennheiser HP280 pro's and and Alesis M1 MkII's for sale PLEASE let me know, maybe then i can get both

Thanks Danny i am looking up the speakers now regards HowardH

what is the difference in open and closed headphones? and can you tell me does the SENNHEISER HD25 HD 25-1 II Pro Monitoring Headphone need an amp to get the quality for mixing out of it? because that would add to the price

thanks Tom, i am wondering if i should get the headphones and get just normal speakers

but the problem with normal headphones is they all sound different, i have five pairs right here and each one sounds different

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Paul that is what the guy told me at the place but lawrence says they are all different

that is fascinating Lawrence now i have a bigger headache though what phones if any do you suggest?

thanks for that, i am tending to come to the same conclusions as you letts i looked up the HD280 Pro and then i got onto a guy here in Aus and had a chat with him this morning, he told me the same as you, it has something to do with room sound he says and to be a meter or so away from the sound to get a true idea. he said that even though he sells many high quality desk phones that he believed that my problems could not be solved in this way even at the risk of losing a sale to me. i have sent him pics of my studio and three songs i have done, even the song that did well in Thailand was crap really, what can i say Thai females are hopeless romantics i think lol and after all the song is called "You Are Everything" anyway he is sending me info on cheap but workable monitors, he suggested that headphones have their place but not in the final mix, which is after all my greatest problem. Thanks for your inputs Regards HowardH By the way That song Dear God by XTC, what a great song, i cant believe i never heard it before, very good writing as well HH

thanks tuco and paul, i will look them up regards HowardH
