I´m looking for some really decent headphones for mixing(i know its not acceptable in some schoo :confused: ls of thought) and for playback/overdubs so they have to be closed and capable of brutal volumes .any suggestions?

don't do it.
your ears will thank you years to come.."brutal volume" in your cans? whooa... like 3 days of tentanis, ear ringing...

your taking the hard-road.... good luck.
 
yes...brutal volume

unfortunatly i need cans that can take some brutal volume cos i have to overdub feedbacking guitars etc so the phones have to compete with a highly cranked up amp ,any sugestions for reliable cans ,preferably with little as possible bleed
 
i'd suggest spending on isolation/room acoustic stuff.

i love my Sony MDR7506...

recently traded for a set of AKG 271, but haven't been out of the box.retail for $199, retail $249, their selling off this model i was told... so really good price around $150ish. i'd sell these but i'd have to setup my Paypal and all that crap again...

your proably looking at $100.

no help on the JimiH sessions tho... "Brutal Volume" sounds like a band or song name!! :cool:
rockNroll...
 
can you hear me now...

another idea, it seems your actually in the Tracking phase...overdubbing, you mentioned.

if this is the case why not just record a few takes of the Feedback Distortion guitarist and then unplug it,

then sit back and listen thru the monitors & see if the take was good.
at a normal level.
if no good re-Track.


a really nice lesson that BMWerks gave me was not to
confuse Mixing stage with Tracking.

Instead of what i was doing panning and Eqing while tracking,
i now concentrate to get the best performance and sound going in.
It really helped me & prevented alot of song burn out.
Its like you get it on tape/hd... fresh... if you get a decent Mono, your setting yourself up in a good way.

then later i ruin it with poor mixing skills!! :eek:

Friends Don't Let Friends Mix while Tracking.
