NOOOOO! You're joking, right? Distortion. sure, but The Leveller--NO! -no way -lol.

Hey great feedback--appreciate that. Yes I've concluded as well--the headphone's is better. -As far as good equipment to start[!]--have to wait on that-- -My headphones are MDR-XD100/SONY, and with catch words like "Studio Monitor Series headphones" they's is better--and possibly this 'experiment' m...

SOS: Okay -- I just edited on desktop speakers and when I put on line it sounds like crap. On the desktop speakers had much more bass. So how the/or what the heck is the [BEST] way to edit?? headphones? or desktop speakers? And what type(s)? :evil: arrrg! thanks. --Well I have a pair of under $100 s...

I haven't thought to test them on equal par --per a same 30 second sample. Will do ASAP. Please do, I'd be very interested. NEXT POST (scroll down) I like the ability to check the whole song as opposed to being limited by a 30 second sample maximum. A bit of background: I wrote stats.ny for a speci...
