Headphones

So, I broke my Sennheiser HD’s and I’m currently deciding whether to purchase Dr Dre’s ‘Beats’ headphones (Monster Beats Studio Headphones by Dr. Dre) or Ultrasone DJ1 Pro’s as used by Claude Vonstroke.

They are both quite pricey, but the cost doesn’t bother me, I’m interested in quality and Sennheiser just don’t do that for me anymore, even though obviously most people think they are the best, as I did until recently, but I think that was the case maybe 3 years ago. Right now, the two products I’m deciding between are most definitely the best headphones out there – in terms of quality, build and ultimately, comfort!

So… I think I will have another think about it! Was in Blanch shopping center today, picked up the Dr. Dre Beats – €320 – but decided on having another few days before I go out and buy them. Like everything, I absolutely suck at making decisions when it comes to having more than one possible option!

(Just when i was hoping Reason 5 would be released with something like this built in!)

Well it looks pretty good.. but its not much help for producers like myself who would rather see a wave editor (+ VST’s + a proper mastering suite + more ‘Ableton like’ features) but it seems that Propellerheads new software is aimed at Bands and non-electronic artists.

So i dont think ill be getting it – its pretty much a ‘virtual’ mixing desk, and noone really needs one of those unless your recording various instruments (like guitars + drums for a band). So looks like it will be another wait before the next update for Propellerheads Reason software. It looks just like Reason though – why couldnt they just update Reason with most of the ‘needed’ features of Record in it!?

eason Record - New release from the makers of Reason!

Record looks pretty nice though I have to say. Thats one good thing about Reason 4 also – the graphics are sweet – but it really needs some more substance over style: like built-in production and ‘proper’ mastering software to save producers like myself having to export and re-master our work using external wave editors and mastering suites!
