MXR does ducking but not in the way you want Brian

Same with autocorrect with my phone

In what way? It seems, if I understand correctly, in AX8, the effect increases with input signal, i.e. harder pick/strum.

Decreases on the Kemper. Guess it could do either.

Increases is the opposite to what he wants

How do you mean? I'd record my tracks, then mix and master from there. That does involve eq, panning, compression, reverb, fading etc. The problem is the translation from source to source.

Neither of those headphones are neutral. They're both bass boosted, and the DT770 have a lift in the treble as well. So something that sounds well balanced when mixing with the headphones won't sound well balanced when listening with neutral speakers or headphones.

Indeed. That's why I bought the monitors. I'll still use the headphones of course but it's frustrating not having a better reference point to begin with.

There's are some good, relatively neutral headphones for mixing. But monitors also work, obviously!

Yeah the sennheiser hd650, or bd dt880s will do the job but for the same price you can have some kickass monitors that can grow with you, so I did that.

Ordered amp stuff from Mouser on 26/7. Got here from the USA this morning.

Monitors arrived from UK today (a pair of Adam Audio T5V). 4 days DHL shipping to my door. That's rather amazing.

Nice, keen to know what you think of them, I'm after a pair of monitors.

Yeah, I'm keen too... and, where did you buy these ones?

Got them from Gear4Music in Leeds. Worked out around $540 landed. Cheapest I could find here was $820 shipped.

I'm still waiting on the cables but will see how we go. I was looking at rokit g5 but they tend to be quite hyped in the bass.

I've been listening to Robin Trower a fair bit lately (especially Bridge of Sighs) and he's had me gassing big time for a univibe big. Have one incoming from Bignoise Amplification in Nelson. It was Warren's playing on the demo that tipped me over the edge. Sounds huge!!

Thoughts when you get it and DIBS please!

I liked the tchula boost so much that I bought another one while mucking around on reverb the other day. Oh dear.
