I am one of those lucky ones who had an opportunity at length to test the headphones at Guitar Center. Most of the headphones they have on the rack were from $89 to 199/ from Sony, to AKG, to Sennheiser, etc.) Funny how your idea of what a clear sound or your idea of good sounding headphones...

I would go with Green Hornet's advise. The YAMAHA amps and receivers of the late 70's and 80's deliver a very natural sound and they offer those additional "through" connections for a totally uncolored sound. The Mid 70's Marantz (I have them) will make your sound great. They normally have...

I know exactly what you are hearing. Been there, done that. Not in the studio, but in our band. Your monitors did kick the bucket. Pushing too much wattage, huh? That is the risk you have to take when your monitors are not active and your amps deliver more wattage than your monitors can...

Isn't Smoove03 a Newbie? So I guess we will beat up on him, huh? Let's go...ha ha ha, just kidding... Smoove03, don't let that bother you and thanks for sharing. As you can read, some of the members think your post helped. No one can know everything. To some, it may sound/read like it is...

Wow! Talking about somebody with great ears, Bear does. I agree 100%. Great piece nevertheless. Need more hook - (repeat "moving on again" more, but not too much or it will be a bubble gum piece). But thats for another thread (Songwriting). I believe your bass is overpowering. Just my HO...

Sorry, my negligence. I should have qualified that. I was talking about the military ear plugs. they cut them by 3 db. And you are right, even Home Depot's ear plug cuts them by 29 db. But did you know that those whose Military duties (as opposed to Professional duties) is at the Gun Mount...

Wow, from 1999, I had 75 posts, took five years, and in the last month, I doubled it. I must get a life.....:) Well this is not a bad life. I enjoy this board. Studiogenocide - I will leave you my email at your mailbox in this board.

Knightsy, yes, it does appear that way, doesn't it. My apologies. I didn't mean to. I wasn't calling him names. I was describing his action. Actually, I diplomatically ignored his post and posted mine and didn't even mention how glaringly wrong he was. But only edited my comment to him, when...

The only thing we could do at this stage is to keep the hearing we have now. But make sure you do not have any infection. See a physician to ensure the ringing is not any serious. Remember, ear plugs lower the volume by only 3 db! That is not bad actually, because technically sound doubles...

Having taken a few courses in publicity, marketing and promotions, my take on an album cover is that it has more to do with the image and message your are trying to send others. Having and knowing how to use the graphic tools you need will only get you there halfway. Step back for a moment to...

Play it safe, go to a doctor. Ringing ears more often than not is caused by hearing loss. The first ones to go is the high frequency spectrum. We couldn't be a recording engineer with bad ears, could we? Regardless of how good our skills and equipment are. One more thing about hearing...

Shackrock, Blue Bear is 100% correct. He hit the problem on the head. You should take heed . What you are experiencing is serious. You must consult a physician or audiologist for your problem. Hopefully, the problem is just temporary and if not, let's hope it is only high frequency loss...

Yes, it will converted to 44.1/16. But all CD's are like that and all CD players uses that standard. But at least you will retain some detail or (hate to use this word) "warmth". No, not in the bits, but in the translation from 24/96 to 16/44.1. But really, can anyone really hear the...

A perfect pad would be those gels that they use as keyboard or mouse pad, but like MoPads, they are relative expensive. My monitors sits on top of my HDR's, and like everyone else, concerned about the constant vibrations my monitors generate. In the meantime, I bought those "place pillows"...

Blue Bear, Blue Bear, my son, there you go again, shooting from the hip. Didn't you know little knowledge is dangerous?:o Click this link and learn a little bit, I did a little research for you so you don't have to hear it from me:;) http://www.mitsuicdr-store.com/SCMS_nh.html He was...

My. my, resorting to name calling now....I think I won't dignify that with a reply. But we are here to help, so I will stay focus on the subject: LIMITER: Sets the upper limit on the volume and will not allow the signal go above that volume. COMPRESSOR: Reduces the changes in volume, so...

Yes of course, Blue Bear, you could obtain limiting by your compressor settings, but not vice versa. In short, a LIMITER could be considered as a strip down COMPRESSOR. Is that all you do around here Blue Bear to get high post score? Tear somebody's post down by shooting from the hip, just...

You must have misread what I meant Blue Bear, a LIMITER - is a COMPRESSOR with less some of its' (COMPRESSOR'S) controls.

Re: while we're in the same arena Using a computer, convert the sound to a wave file using software like musicmatch because wave does not compress like the MP3's. Then burn it with Nero. Nero Burns CD's of course at natural 44.1/16.

The link Drummer4life05 gave you is very good and correct. But wordy, tedious and tiring but offers great info. To shorten it: COMPRESSOR: - Regulates/Limits the excessive volume of sound LIMITER: - Is a compressor without all the controls. THRESHOLD: - "How loud should the sound be before...
