Hello Lisa
Two other details of working with digital audio programmes:
Do you have a decent sound card? If you've been relying on the sound chip in
the computer, you need to upgrade.
For critical monitoring, when I *really* need to hear all the subtle details
of the recording, I use headphones. I find a decent mid-quality headset,
such as Koss 4AA (less than $100 at J&R Music World etc), perfectly
adequate -- and if you're working in an environment which is plagued by
ambient noise, this particular headset, of closed design, makes a good seal
around the ears. In fact, when my phone rings, I can't even hear it!
Salutations, David Lewiston
