I think the "Yo, you need help" opener would have sealed it for me. Is that honestly how he spoke?

Session Award JD10 is a good box: speaker sim, well designed EQ.

I want my 90 seconds back! Anyway, back to the point of the thread...

Agreed, and ideally, a cable with both braid and foil.

Don't tell me, you eat oatmeal with skimmed milk at 7:45 every morning, even Sundays. If I'm using balanced equipment, I'd like to use a 'balanced' cable, thanks. It's a lot easier to say, and saves a hell of a lot of time. Giving me an XLR cable doesn't mean it isn't unbalanced configured...

I just use a stereo out of the mixer into the headphone distributer, using the mixer to get a headphone mix, and perhaps use the mixer's direct outs (or a coupla aux sends or so) to send 'more me' signal to the channels that may need them on the headphone distributer.

If the input's showing max and you can't get zilch at output, it sounds like a repair job. You don't have both XLR and 1/4 connected at the same time do you?

I agree that for home studio purposes, unbalanced is usually fine (and certain people even argue it is sonically superior), and using XLRs in unbalanced configuration is fine, since it's the connector type itself that dictates, but there is NO point in using TRS connectors in unbalanced config...

Is that more white noise I hear?

Well, he's an authority on MIDI, composition and performance and video editing, that's for sure!

Old, but THAT was witty!

I agree, nice sounding guitar, very little boxiness and balanced. I ALWAYS struggle with acoustic, even in a mix, but especially on its own. A little hissy, if I dare say so... What was the mic/recording chain?

Samson S.Phone headphone distributer. $120. 4 channels, each channel having two optional outs (so effectively 12 outs), EQ for each channel, a blend feature that allows you to customise each individual performers 'phone mix, plenty of drive, accurate metering... Kick ass. Reliable? I dunno...

Thinking about a couple of pairs of either of these headphones for tracking purposes. Does anyone know the difference(s) between the 5 and the 7?

Er, yeah...

Hey, B'man - sent you a PM. Good to hear from ya!

THANKS. There will be more bone recording this Saturday, this time at mine, so I have better monitoring. Will give it a go. Appreciated.

Wow, this is a very old thread indeed! Still, for the record, the Soundcraft 6000 still resides in the studio and is the best purchase I ever made. I've learned to do a ton of things on it, and what appeared complicated to begin with (compared to the Mackie) is actually a lot more...
