Herb,
You missed something of value: I am both mute and paralyzed! Oh what I've give to have the liberties you take for granted!
My only open option is to trust the ears of those I love, admire, and respect. That's why I came here!
Donny Now that you pointed that out... Yup, that would present a few minor challenges. I knew a few things about you but not that. I'm sorry to hear that about anyone but most especially my internet musician friends. I thought that avatar of yours, the dancing chicken, was in fact, you in disguise.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

No serious harm done. I still find great joy in living. It certainly beats the alternative.
Peter Gannon gave me back my music that I thought lost forever. That keeps me active in heart and mind. Add to that the wonderful, loving friends who travel, at great expense, to visit me and entertain at my nursing home FREE. They make facing the unknown each day full of joy and wide-eyed wonder. "My cup runeth over!"
Dr. Gannon keeps me involved "back stage" likely more for my benefit than his. It adds purpose to my life that every living organism needs to sustain life.
Donny

Hope this is not high jacking the thread but I need some advice about the importance of impedance with headphones. I have used Grado 60's for 10+ years. They are great but are an open design and I am looking for something as good but more enclosed to keep out background noise. The Grados have an impedance of 32 ohms. I once bought some Sennheiser phones (cannot remember which ones) with a higher impedance and couldn't get anything like the same volume from my Yamaha piano so I took them back. Also I don't really want noise cancellation phones that take batteries.
Any comments on impedance and choice of phones, up to say $200?
Thanks Tony

Thanks Tony Impedance is also dependent on your source source. What is the output impedance of your piano? Here is a set of phones that were made for digital pianos (32 ohms), and man, are they cheap!http://www.amazon.com/Samson-Technologies-HP10-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B003MV0U5E My personal preference are these: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HD280ProRegards, Bob

Nice frequency response, if relatively flat (+/- 10%) however, my room configuration demands 9' cable, absolute minimum. I don't like extension cables. They tend to pull apart or add more problems, in my experience. K.I.S.S.. You'd wonder how I accomplish anything under these space constraints. lol
Thanks for jumping in though.

PS: Those that don't give a freq response, I dismiss out of hand.
Don, don't worry about extension cables. I have using this technique for years now: 1-loosely put a zip tie (#1) around the headphone cable 2-loosely put a zip tie (#2) around the extension cable 3-loosely put a zip tie (#3) into the zip ties #1 & #2 loops 4-securly tighten zip ties #1 & #2 onto the cables 5- tighten zip tie #3 I know that you will have to have someone do this for you but your cables will not come unplugged if someone trips on them. I hope this helps good buddy.

I hope this helps good buddy. Dear friend, Mario, The flip side - if made too trip-proof, they topple, speakers, big-screen/monitor, desk, everything (twice). If it don't breakaway, I'll be in expensive and deep doo-doo!It looks like the J-Buds are going to be a reasonable temporary solution. Don't know if I'll ever get accustomed to something inside my ears and very little low-end. Night/Day difference from the beautiful "thud" of my Berrys. That may actually be my Pacemaker and coaxing me wee Oyrish 'art into just one more beat. I always respect your input, my friend. Donny

I use these in my studio. I have about a dozen of them, some for several years and they're still going strong. They have cupped ear, open back, come with a 9' 8" straight cord and a plug and play adapter -mini to standard- "These will not slip off your ears and they've never made me sweat". I hope this helps. Here's the pertinent info and here's the link where you can buy them: http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAG101-Headphones-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00008DHSN/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1455762284&sr=8-2&keywords=jvc+ha-g101+headphones JVC HA-G101 Specifications: Driver Unit 1.57" (40mm) Frequency Response 16-22,000Hz Nominal Impedance 32ohms Sensitivity 98dB/1mW Max. Input Capability 50mW Cord Length 9.84ft (3m) Weight (without cord) 5.99oz (170g) Plug Nickel Plated Accessory Plug Adapter Features: super bass sound system Nominal impedance: 32 ohms Sensitivity:103 dB/mW Frequency response,8-20,000Hz 40 mm diameter diaphragm Cord length:3.0m (9.8ft) plug & plug adapter mini to standard Maximum input capability: 50mW

Thanks, KJ. The response looks great!
The leatherette cushion pads are not ideal for me. They eventually slide down around my neck and Aide must re-position them often.
Thanks though.
Don

I was really looking to understand what single phone impedance I should consider for all possible uses - keyboard, mixer, computer, iPhone etc. I assume that lower is better than higher so perhaps 32 ohm is the best choice? I was actually also considering the HD280 Pro and based on your additional recommendation I went out and bought a pair. I tried them on my piano and knew immediately they were not what I want. I am very picky about my piano sound and they are very "boomy" By comparison my Grado 60's are clear and crisp and reproduce the stereo piano sound superbly. I assume this is the difference between closed and open designs. I think I will stick with Grado and forget about closed design phones. Thanks Tony

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
