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
