Tom…
A good pick for headphones would be Audio-Technica ATH-M50. They are about $160..

You can really pull off a good mix with these phones and keep things quiet in the house.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,
I live in a townhome and I’m trying to set up a little recording section in my living room. I will not have the option of being able to mic anything because I do not own any amps. I do have an electric acustic guitar, an electric bass guitar, and an electronic yamahaa drum set. Basically, I will be recording everything directly into my computer via my tascam interface. Basically my question is this… is it even worth trying to record this way? I keep reading ppl talking about room sounds and mics etc.. i know i will not be able to do it like that. So, that being said, anyone know what kind of monitors i can grab for around 150-200? And would it make more sense to use those earphones to mix and monitor since I will not be able to listen to anything that loud any time of the day. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks so much!

A condenser microphone is not good for drums, bass or electric quitars….Is very good for voice, thats true, but for those instruments, is not, cuz it have a different kind of frequency response, and it has a membrane that can’t read the low frequency, for that it should have a 5 inch membrane, or close to this number…..anyway, for voice is very good. have a good day

I dig the site, thanks for the info. I noticed readers/customers were guided to buy from their favorite online warehouses, and I believe supporting the local shops should at least be included. It should be said, that the advice be in the best interest of the reader. Buying online can be a bad idea, considering the lack of customer service to the average consumer; including warranty and repair services, local shops often turn customers away who bring in online products. Sticking with a locally-owned store can give customers continual support (in the customer’s best interests) just a phone call away! I realize this is a pretty late post but, the comment option is still up.
