Bollocks! I've got friends who get great mixes on crap equipment. One uses $15 Sony headphones and a 15" Fender bassbin. The other uses $50 Koss headphones and a $50 boombox. One of these guys is on Strictly Rhythm. ----->>I agree. I've used $15 Sony headphones for a while. It's easier to hear the music. Also, it works easier (for me, at least) for the detailed editing I do. Che <zeus8@synthcom.com> also typed:

Are we talking CD? This sucks. ----->>Yes, the CD. I threw the recording "out-of-phase", and it practically went away (typical of a mono recording). Neat trick to do on Orb tracks is to throw them out of phase. I put the "Higher Than The Orb" remix of Primal Screams' "Higher Than The Sun" (taken from the original CD single, not the mono comp.) out of phase, and it went almost completely acapella, with some nice background effects. ...just thought I'd share. :) BRAT bratmix@netcom.com http://commline.com/~bratmix/
