In the past when we went to studios to record I had a hard time singing with headphones on. I tried taking them off of one ear but then I couldn't hear the music well. What would be wrong in my home studio, with using floor monitors?

I have the same problem. I've also tried taking the phones off one ear -- seems I just can't sing well when I can't directly hear the air coming out my pie hole Best solution so far? Turn down the music! Then leave the phones partially off one ear, and sing just a bit quieter. Wonder if there's truly an excellent solution to this?
I guess ya just gotta trust the mic IMO it's a problem with a lack of trust when you can't hear yourself well.
Believe it or not, there is actually a technique for monitoring vocals by using two loudspeakers that are out-of-phase. By playing with the position of your microphone the monitor "bleed" is minimized. Here's the site with a LOT more info about it.
