OMG!! you went out of your way to try and explain to me, and it's a lot clearer to me now, driving my arranger volume sliders up full was definately totally and complete madness and stupid, headroom to go up or down is of most importance and your right the ear is a way to go
I may be better off setting up my pa system when doing this than studio monitors,I'll let you know how it all goes, thank you so much.
