You're probably better of getting some mid range headphones, learning how to EQ and getting to know your cans by listening to stuff on them all the time.

No head phone is flat. Simple as that.



It has something to do with how close they are to your ears apparently.


It's more about being translatable to other systems. HD650's are pretty good at that. I can trust them more than the HD555's but they are like 500 dollars more or summin'.


Also don't bother with speakers. Too expensive and won't matter how good they are in your untreated room.[/quote]

Sound waves take time to form. Get a sound wave with a wavelength of 1 foot and it wont come the same as the wave with a wavelength of .01" that has had a full period (or more) to generate.

[quote=Convectuoso;18186226]Why a 57?[/quote]

My guitarist left a 57 at my parents' place, so it's the only other free option. :)

Haha ah fair enough, thought you were going to buy one for studio use, was about to facepalm your ass.

No. I'm really looking at one of those Heil PR30's. They apparently compare with the SM7's but are $80-$100 less. I won't need anything too expensive, but definitely a decent home studio vocal mic.

I'll be attempting to sell some more PA gear this weekend, so I may have the funding for it by the end of this month.

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;18185948]I've used the Beta 58 before, and I was very pleased with how my vocals came through. Much better than the the Oktava MK319 and the AKG D1000E I have.

I've always been on the look out for an Octaver, but then I always convince myself that they track poorly and I should save money and really work on my tapping instead. :lol:[/QUOTE]

Beta 58's are great. I had one but it was stolen :(.

It was damn good, no doubt about it, and it can hold up to anything. If I were ever fronting a band, I'd have one of those or a Sennheiser e845 with me.

Yeah I've given up trying o get in touch with the guy who has it. I paid a lot of money for it and I want it back.

Joel hope you're doing alright buddy I hear NZ got jacked by a massive storm.

Okay then. Our album is out in just over a week, so we decided to put together a short album appetiser. Give it a listen? It's a pretty big deal to us! If you like it, we're taking pre-orders and several online stores will also be stocking it. Currently it's on soundcloud and also myspace if you prefer low quality.

Yeah we actually missed most of it where I am. Apparently there was lightning causing fires and like 100,000 people lost power throughout the country. Apparently it could of caused tornadoes! We got heavy rain/wind and thunder, but that was about it.

We lost power twice at my house on Friday night, I was in the studio at the time and was freaking that power would go out during the session :(

Chris: Shit sounds dope.

[QUOTE=fatbandit;18187589]come to england.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like a cool product, the guitars sound sweet.

whats ur email joel

Did you not get my email the other day? Sent it to your nps vampire acc or whatevs.


it's: my first name + halford at windows live dot com

-_-

Why don't people just do this.

Because apparently this is one of the ways that spam companies get your email address...

Yeah, web crawlers or "spiders" trawl through internet pages looking for e-mail addresses in that format and just harvest them.

I think they search for the @ symbol and grab whatever block of text it's in.

If you put in spaces or anything to make it unusable then that is supposed to trick them as in address/@/somewhere.com should do it, because then if they harvest that it's unusable.

Yeah I already get enough spam so would you please edit your post Ryan :p

Lol Liam are you expecting me to master the MP3's? Or is it for listening purposes only?


Cause if it's the former lolwut?

yeah my bad bro megauploading the wavs to you

ill email in the AM

how soon do you think you can have them done?

All good brah.

I can schedule some time this weekend, busy all this week till then. But I think I can do it in a day or two, but probably just a day. So maybe by Saturday night? Whatever that equals in America land? We're GMT+12 if that helps lol.

I think Saturday night for us is like, midnight Friday.

Man, I can't wait for blue ray stuff to come down in price. Maybe by next winter, I'll get a blue ray burner & discs and burn my entire DVD collection to blue ray. Sure, quality wont be as good as blue ray movies, but I can fit entire seasons of shows on one disc....so badass.

Bluray > j00
