I've been getting into recording a bit. I use an m-audio black box going USB into my Mac Mini with garageband. If I monitor through the computer speakers, there is just too much latency. The black box has a headphone jack as well as left & right outputs for monitors. It also has a mix knob that will allow me to vary the mix of the input signal and playback signal that will be directed to the monitors or headphones. My question is this: How is it playing with headphones on? I have a friend telling me that "you lose the feel," but being a beginner, I'm not sure I even have "the feel" yet in the first place. I can get headphones for less than monitors, but I'm not sure about wearing them. Opinions?
