I've got 2 sets of cosmic ears, the flagship Ce6 and a triplefi 10 reshell... Both are fantastic

I can wholeheartedly recommend cosmic ears they are brilliant

I can Highly recommend cosmic ears for customs, great products and great price http://www.cosmicears.com/shop/

I have the akg k271 mkii's and sennheiser hd 25's and love both of them for critical listening although the akg's have the switch that mutes them when they're off your head which can be quite useful. I would go for a set of open backed cans if I was going to mix solely on them as they tend to be more accurate for mixing. As for the vrm box Its pretty good for checking mixes on but I wouldnt have it on all the time as I dont like the idea of all the extra psychoacoustic processing in the mix chain.

I would Highly reccomend the yamaha hs50m's or if you can stretch the budget the hs80's. I have a pair of genelec 8030's and am seriously considering a pair of 80's as some second monitors

Quick note, the boxed version of logic studio comes with way more content than the app store download..

[quote name='Elvis Valentine' timestamp='1352412077' post='1862852'] I agree with it being a bit muddy . i was thinking of giving them to a friend to master and maybe he could add a little sparkle to the hi end. Thanks again man. [/quote] I dont think giving them to your friend to master will solve the problem. Things like this need to be tackled at mix level.

Well If you want a killer di for bass then you cant get much better than the A designs reddi... Or if you wanted something on the other end of the scale, maybe something by radial?

The preamps in that uni are rather smashing for the price, but I doubt youd get a significant increase in quality for just bass, if you were gonna record vocals and other instruments I'd say go for it... Youd be better off spending the money on a nice tube di or something.

Phil jones briefcase runs on a battery, quite expensive though...

If it were me I'd always use the higher quality ones just as a matter of principle... The only reason that I can think of for using the 16 bit ones is to preserve disk space which may be an issue in your case.. basically If you have enough space use the 24bit ones

I've taken my shuttle 6 and a 112 cab to uni.. It fits nicely on my mini fridge

I got my Jm4 off thomann.. Its a cracking bass and they packeged it really well shame parcel force are crap and failed to deliver it twice...

I did whats going on by marvin gaye... you can get the book standing in the shadows of motown which has the bass part and a cd with the track on with the bass panned to the left and the rest of the track to the right... so you can play along first then pan all the way to the right for the exam...

Small coloured dot stickers? I used to use them on my violin when I was learning never had any problems

I've never had any troubles recording 8 tracks simultaneously with my m audio fast track ultra 8r its usb2... I use Logic mainly but do have protools 9 if I have to take clients work out of the studio home
