Fuck using a pop screen or a compressor.

B-b-but a lot of old compressors just sound really cool even when they aren't compressing!

Pop screens (good ones) are a really good idea. Not just for the pop-filtering, but also to avoid spittle accumulating on your micro-thin element (assuming you're using a condenser, if not, never mind.)

martin OTM on old compressors, but god do I hate the new ones, noise gates as well.

ten years pass...

any new recommendations for affordable headphones for home recording? mine appear to have crapped out.

no one makes headphones with a 1/4-inch plug anymore do they? i have an adapter i've been using with my four-track but it seems like just another part of the chain that can break

NA what's your budget? I bought these sennheisers the other week, really like em. have a screw-on 1/4" plug adapter - feels like a sturdier option than the ones that just snap over the 1/8" plug.

those look pretty good. something in that range is probably what i'll be working with. i've had good luck with sennheisers in the past.

i've had a pair of those for at least 5 years now, great studio cans.
