  1. Actually for me when it comes to the feeling/hearing point I find headphones to be better for feeling the music than speakers. Maybe because they isolate every external sounds so you're just you and the music.

    +1 for you, Sir.

     

    Of course it then all depends on what kind of headphones or speakers we're talking about. Speakers can give out a nice ambience in a good room, and you can dance without tripping over the cable. Of course I dream of having a nice isolated studio somewhere far away from people, and use some hi-def speakers. Untill then headphones do it for me.

  2. When will modern horror makers realise that rock & hip hop are not scary music genres.

    Oh yeah I know what you mean.

     

    And not just that, but the obsession with darkness that is supossed to automatically make you feel scared.

     

    I've seen movies horror movies taking place in full daylight, and that's whats so scary about it. When you think about it, you never expect to be attacked during the middle of afternoon. But what if all of a sudden all people dissapeared, and you strated getting chased by some scary-ass creature. Now that's scary. And I've seen a few movies made like this, but I can hardly remember the titles right now. Made in the US I believe, still tho not alot more to come from the US. There's a bunch of japanese horror movies that feature daylight horror scenes don't they? I know I've seen a couple of trailers.

  3. You know, having a more accurate sound is a good thing because all the commercial music sounds so much better. But now I'm noticing more problems with my unmastered projects, which kind of puts me off. But at least I know where mistakes have been made and what to improve rather then blindly thinking that the projects sounds allright.

     

    Edit: But the great thing about having a more accurate sound output, is that the mastering effects I was using now dramatically change the sound texture. Before I could not that easily hear the difference as I tweak some knobs on a compressor, but now every little tweak here and there makes a difference. Makes me happy really. :)

  4. And Anoebis, yes Yahels-Waves Of Sound album is indeed very good :) I have it right here, to me it is a bit like a Israeli version of Man With No Name album Moment Of Truth. What i like a lot with Waves Of Sound album is the key changes and lead sounds, MDMA trance :DSun Scream = Killer

    Ohh, I should to take a listen to that album. I'm a big MWNN fan :)
  5. I decided to break into my soundcard front box, it had it's channels inverted for headphones out (what a shitty pruduct lol). It's the standard TRS connection.

     

    Anyway, I had another TRS In, which was for the mike in. I took out the old TRS that was for the headphones, and replaced it with the mike one. I soldered it on the other side of the board (to invert the channels). Yeah I know it's a crappy job and I had to drill some new holes to fit everything nicely, but now I have this weird aftereffect - there's no more noise comming from the TRS, and also for some reason the sound is louder and alot clearer but the bass is more energetic aswell. Maybe that noise was cancelling some of the bass or something, because now it actually sounds much better?

     

    Oh well, I'm glad at least some of the problems went away. Untill I buy an RME one day :P. Still tho I'm glad at this strange turn of events. I guess sometimes breaking in and doing some tweaks can come out as a good thing (as opposed to short-circuiting hardware hehe).

     

    Edit: Yeah definately more crips and clear, and the bass is more loud which is causing my ears to hurt a little cos now I have to re-adjust to the sound.

  6. These are the headphones that are gonna make you go: "Oh my God, I can't believe I thought there was no difference between mp3's and wav's".

     

    But just remember that they need to be burned-in. And by that I don't mean to put them in a microwave, I mean you need to put random music on and let them play by themselves on a fairly loud volume for about ~300 hours. After around 300 hours of playback they should be ok. I didn't like them at first either, sounded raw and soulless. But after 300 hours they should be good enough to give your ears an orgasm. :P

     

    Also, be careful with them. The cable that comes with them is pretty fat, and can easily get in your way. So make sure they're on the stand or somewhere safe. I droped them by accident a couple of times (and for that I should get a prison sentence! <_<), so a peace of plastic of the rails broke. They're still allright, nothings changed really. A bit of a stupid design to use plastic on the part that moves the most, but just as stupid of me to be careless when handling them.

     

    They're too powerfull for an iPod and your standard regular soundcard output jack (that green jack on the back side of the PC). So get a headphone amp if you're gonna use these.

     

    I'm definately gonna buy the blue ones when I get the chance. The color + the detachable cable is a great addition, and this time I would be more careful with them hehe.

  7. I took it off a video-store once. Quite frankly, I can't remember if I've watched it thru or not. I think I got interrupted half way-thru and forgot to watch it again. And if I remember correctly, it wasn't all that interesting. But again, I didn't watch it untill the end.

  8. Yeah, glitch is an effect. So imo it's pretty dumb when people wanna categorize their music by the effects some artists use.

     

    But this is more a problem of artists then the listeners. Whenever someone comes up with something new, everyone else starts copying it and before you know it - it becomes a trend. That's why I don't like most of the psy music today, it's because almost everyone is following trends. Nobody has the balls or the brains to make something out of the ordinary - except a few talents here and there, which I really do respect.

     

    ~ Happy thoughts -_-
