Thanks - with the LCD 1’s there’s a constant tightness over the frame arms, and I find myself thinking about that more than the music at times.
I reckon there’s a market for a new design of glasses frames that ‘slot’ into existing headphones through some sort of clamp on the headband…. or maybe not - maybe Dyson will develop some like those daft looking purification headphones. 
Haha looking on Amazon now 
So after a few weeks on my new Shure cans, the short review is that if you can stomach it, they’re worth the cost. I was happy with my AKG:s but these guys run circles around the ones I used before.
I’m no engineer so I don’t think I can adequately express why they’re better, only that I hear stuff I didn’t hear before and that I’m re-learning some of my old tracks and flinching as I put some stuff out there and listen to them afterwards and go “Ooh, that hurt”, and can tell from going back to the track with the Shure cans what went wrong, only I couldn’t pick up on it, but I could hear it, now that I know it went wrong.
If that makes sense.
So yeah, these cans stay.
And some other gear goes, since I can’t afford them otherwise.
Actually gonna say bye bye to my Sequential stuff, I think. For many reasons. But it’s time now, I think.
Prophet 12?
Prophet 5 goes first. But yes, probably the 12, too.
The way I understand your setup is that you like to keep it compact and lean. Letting go of your P12 would be a bit of surprise nonetheless. I’ll never let go of my P10.
I still like it, but the fact is, I haven’t used my synths since last sunmer. That tells me something. Tho given my history with the 12, it’s the last one to go, since that’s the one I know and appreciate (by far) the best.
I hate to hear this, circuit…
Everything okay over there?
Cheers!
Oh, for sure, but thanks for asking 
I was being perhaps too literal. I have been making music and quite enjoying it still, but since I got into the OP-1 Field, I’ve been using primarily my piano and the Field’s sample engine, combined with Chase Bliss gear, to produce stuff. I just haven’t felt I needed the synths anymore.
While I enjoy the stuff I wrote before, and to some extent can’t deny I can’t get that sound from sampled sources, I also think my current writing is better. And I don’t use synths to get there, and haven’t for some time, so I guess I just don’t need them anymore.
Given that prices have been going up, drawing such a conclusion now might become expensive later, when you will have changed your mind again 
Maybe you’ll need to hear your synths the same way you hear your piano, that is through a resonator, e.g. Voix du Luthier.
Maybe 
Good. Just checking.
Lord knows, things haven’t been the same for me since Covid.
I know a lot of people who are still struggling to get their lives back on track.
Cheers!
I appreciate the concern
I can imagine, from what you’ve told from your work, that covid must’ve changed things radically for you. Touring, studio work and such, I suppose went to a halt. In Sweden, a lot of things kept going as they were. While touring wasn’t one of them, most studio musicians and others, still had plenty to do, since social distancing was preferred before total absence of socialising.
But being in the US must’ve been tough if your work is not only very social but also crowd-oriented to some extent. I can’t say I feel you, cause I’m not in your line of work, but I do empathise.
Ya, the pandemic hit me hard. Really hard. On all fronts.
Perhaps ironically, at first, it was a welcome break, and I certainly endeavored to make the most of the time off. I tore apart my touring rig, and rebuilt it from the ground up. Incorporated a lot of new tech that I had been testing. Got a head start on future setlists. Did a massive amount of woodshedding on my instruments, which is something I rarely have time for between shows. Finished a couple album projects that were pending.
I was knocking it out of the park.
Then shit got real. Most of my work is live, so…
I made it about 8 months before it was officially time to man the pumps.
It just went on for too long. Everything suffered. My career of 30 years, my relationship of 20, my home of 16… By the end of the pandemic, there would be nothing left of any of it.
Sufficed to say, I’ve got a long climb out of a deep, dark hole ahead of me still.
But I’m prepping a new tour now, and feeling good about it.
One day at a time…
Cheers!
Anyway… Gotta love headphones though.
Cheers!
Another couple of weeks with these cans, and I can safely say they are superior to anything I’ve used. Granted, I’ve not used much or many, but in that context, they remain superior
It’s particularly the low end distinctions that make the big difference here. I never struggled much with balance or volume, or the mid and high stuff, but low end is a b***h for me, and these cans help me more than any others, including monitors as well.
Granted, I’ve never monitored in any other place than my kitchen, so there’s another slice of context relevant to the situation 
But since my situation is not unique in this day and age of domestic producers, I think it’s fair to say, for the amateur taking his craft slightly too seriously, these headphones are da shit.

DT 770 Pros can take beating but can’t be used for mixing/mastering purposes. They are just a good pair of cans that allow you to hear detailed sound and designed to be used in studios like radio stations, music making studios where ton’s of people put them on and off. If you are thinking about mixing - you need monitors. You can use headphones to control some portions of the spectrum but not everything. If you already have DT770 or any other studio headphones and you want mix and master your songs to some degree, you can use “Realphones” app from dSONIC. This VST can be a part of your DAW or standalone app. The app has DT770 profile so you can flatten DT770 to some degree and Realphone will imitate how your song sounds in professional studios and other places and devices like club, concert hall, laptop, smartphone, bluetooth speaker, car and many more places. I’d be glad to have something like Realphones but as a hardware processor that can be plugged to say, Digitakt or whatever hardware people have.
