Switching quickly between headphones & monitors

[AlanW]

Hi - I was wondering how other people deal with this:I record in the same room as my equipment. I'm constantly recording with a microphone and headphones on... and then using the monitors to see how it sounds. Is there a "one button" solution to swithing back & forth between the two?? Right now, I'm turning both channels of my amp down. - thanks - Alan

well i run a headphone amp of 2 of my busses on my mixer. But basicaly if u have a mixer , just use your control room outs and just take your headphones off when you need too... i think thats right , i havent done it for a while.. But with my setup i just run my monitors on 2 busses , a headphone amp on the other 2 (for monitoring in the studio) and i just use the control room to monitor levels.. mmm , not much help i spose , but i think a decent mixer with a few outs should do the job i think ....
cheers !!!

I turn the poweramp off. Mainly because I always forget what i'm doing and end up with screaming feedback. On the downside, I'll turn on the poweramp and have faders cranked and blast the speakers...

Yeah-don't use headphones.
Only joking.

yeah i'm sure you could come up with a switch.. in fact i remember dragon posted a link to a cheap audio switchbox type of thing... flip one way and you goto to your power amp & monitors... the other way, and to your headphone amp and phones...
