@HenryWHHackv3.0 Yes. In my limited experience with traditional studios, the producer says what he wants (hopefully with some technical knowledge), and the engineer makes it happen. Another way to put it is the engineer ideally allows the producer unlimited creativity. The engineer is usually a resident engineer of that studio, so he knows where to kick the desk to get that sticky fader 8 moving again.
Senheisser is far bigger than Monster or the other companies you mentioned, they just work in the professional audio sector rather than targeting the consumer sector with overpriced crap
Powering down a single random piece of "hardware" is not comparable to general Standard Operating Procedure for shutting down different segments of an entire sound reinforcement system in the proper order. Not unless you want to be replacing loudspeaker drivers after every gig.
i.e. you never think to it (the song) as a "final" product (in both listening and producing stages), but to a product that will manifest its own peculiarity due to the environments you will play it
@RoryAlsop maybe that's just the secret! understanding that every sound reproductions (on different environments/moment) got its own soul (due to the colors) and just enjoy it. if the product is well produced, the probably that the emotional response is Always Greater and high is elavated. but what we perceive (interpretate) also depends of the medium.
In your price range I could recommend several very good headsets that produce high quality results, but they produce even level sound and it sounds like that isn't what you are looking for since you said you didn't like the Senheiser's (which btw, is a major company that makes some of the best headphones around)
I would actually use a music hall, then couple hundred $$ and then I would get a grand, a Hammond organ, decent electric organ, and a Theremin, together with 2 guitars :)
