I have no doorman in my building and am rarely home when packages get delivered so they always end up at the Fed Ex depot across town or the Post Office uptown. It's a real pain but them I discovered Amazon Lockers. They're in drug stores and supermarkets and there's one near me. My stuff gets delivered to the locker, they email me a code and I stop by and use it to open my compartment. My online shopping has increased 1000% since I started using them.

My wife is into that show big time. Didn't know you could get it on Amazon prime. I'll look into that.

Bub maybe we will get to hear some more of that classy crooning soon?
Thanks. I have 4 songs I'm working on now, but I'm not going to put anything out until I got the new headphones.

This is what I'm using now ...






I see them going for $80 bucks on Amazon ... my wife got them for me at Target ... 6 or 7 years ago for $19 bucks. They don't sound very good at all. When I mix in them, it's way off. So I'm not going put anything out until I mix in the new cans and send the file to someone to listen to to see how I did.

I had big plans to build a studio in my basement, but it's not going to happen now. So ... I got my DAW on the dining room table and I've been using headphones. :(

Oh man your next purchase has got to be a VRM box! It's no replacement for studio monitors and it certainly doesn't fool you into thinking that you're listening on monitors, but what it does is give you a reasonable idea of how your mix is going to translate on a wide variety of speakers, all through your headphones.  There are simulations of common studio monitors, bedroom setups and living room setups. For instance in the studio you have among other things Auratones, Genelec 1031A,  KRK, Adam, Rogers and Stirling simulations, then you have computer desktop,  budget micro system, Flat screen TV,  90's Hi-fi, 80's hi-fi and some of the studio monitors but in the living room or bedroom. Each of them exposes different problems in your mix and if you can get it sounding satisfactory on each of those speaker settings then you can be reasonably confident that it's going to sound OK on real world speakers too. Of course you wouldn't put a mix out without checking in the real world first, but it sure beats bouncing your mix down and lugging it around to different locations to listen. You have to use it with a quality set of cans, but it looks like you have those now...

Someday I'll get new headphones...  All of the pairs that I've been using are still good, but the fabric on the pads is coming off so I end up with little pieces all over my ears after each use!

Holy crap! These 240's are incredible.

Now I have to remix everything I've been doing that last week.

That's ok though! That's a good thing!

WOW!
