    Hey musicians...

    I know we have several musicians around here...and...some of you record...

    When I record, I generally wear a set of audio-technica headphones (closed back because I don’t want to hear anything else, ESPECIALLY when playing my Variax)...and when mixing, I usually use a pair of Beyerdynamic (semi-open for a wider field). Both work great...most of the time. But even using Waves plugins, it’s still different than using regular speakers...and sharing the sound with others is a pain. I’d rather not buy several sets of headphones and an amp.

    And I want to start recording more...again. LOL

    I kinda like the idea of speakers that are somewhat portable, like the iLoud speakers from IK Multimedia. And their Acoustic Room Correction sounds like a great thing to use while traveling...I could conceivably “correct” hotel rooms, living rooms, wherever. Seeing as I don’t have a dedicated studio or mixing booth.

    The Micro Monitors may have potential, but their size is a little worrisome. But the price is nice. :-/
    The idea of tossing a couple monitors into my laptop backpack is intriguing.

    So for those of you that record...
    What monitors are you using?

        I run a pair of Tannoy PBM8II. I’ve had them for about 25 years and they still sound great. They’re not small or portable, but for a home studio they’re good.

            That’s how I feel...though some of my recordings do sound pretty good if I may say so myself. I put that down to being a better producer & engineer than I am a player though.

        Fireboard: The Ultimate Top Of The Line BBQ Thermometer

        Fireboard Labs Product Photo Shoot. Kansas City Commercial Portrait and Wedding Photographers ?Kevin Ashley Photography
        With the ability to monitor up to six temperatures simultaneously with either Bluetooth or Wifi on your mobile phone, tablet, or computer, Fireboard is the best digital thermometer we?ve tested.

        Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker


        This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp?s dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin?.

        GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone


        GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily rmoved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

        The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


        The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

        Finally, A Great Portable Pellet Smoker


        Green Mountain?s portable Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker is one mean tailgating and picnic machine.

And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.

        Heat Resistant Gloves With Extra Long Sleeves Hold The Hot Stuff

        If you?re using oven mitts at the grill, it?s time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder?s gloves. They?re heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned.

        The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


        The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
