In reply to David Pitt. And you think headphones are accurate?!

Headphones rule….both for recording and listening. They are a “viewfinder” for the mic and a totally immersive listening experience for the finished edit. Speakers are ugly, expensive and can never be accurate and are for those who like to listen to the kit and not the sounds.

lol. I feel justified in a lot of my practices now. I won’t ever throw away the headphones (I still like to at least do a quick confidence check every now and then), but I use them somewhat selectively when field recording…depending on the situation. There are plenty of times I just don’t bother with throwing them on.

Awesome article Dave, some really good tips in here. I have recently been recording with custom In Ear Monitors by JH-audio and Ultimate Ears (JH-16’s,UE-18’s & the new UE-Reference Monitors), I am surprised that no one else here has tried this, as the sonic precision you are able to hear with these is phenomenal especially when recording at high sample rates 96/192k. They are like having super sonic hearing aids. Whats interesting about this new technology is that you won’t ever get audio bleed through the headphones as they are already molded to fit perfectly inside your ear canals, isolating up to 26-32db’s of outside noise, no feedback/audio bleed, nothing its as if your hearing the incoming audio inside your head literally.

Nice David! Regarding headphones versus no headphones, I do both (sometimes opening one ear or the other). For extremely loud recordings I use my Remote Audio set. Keeping your levels on the low side Is Key. You can’t believe how many people have clipped recordings. Thanks for the great article!

PS, I hate crows! They have ruined a number of crucial “once in a lifetime” takes! :-(

So true about hunting for the source of a sound with headphones on! Man, now I feel like an idiot…
