* '''Use headphones. Good ones.'''

* '''Check your levels.''' Assuming you're using Manual levels, of course. (Auto is easier, but won't sound as good.) Getting the volume right is a balancing trick. You don't want the levels to hit maximum ''at all'' because the sound will clip and distort in the most horrible way known to man. Similarly, you don't want them set too low or background noise will start to creep in (there's always some noise, but you want to keep your signal level fairy high above that). Avoiding clipping is your priority though; setting them too low isn't a great worry. | * '''Check your levels.''' Assuming you're using Manual levels, of course.
