Mixing on headphones is generally a no-no in production-land, as frequency reproduction and spacial representation is pretty inaccurate. Nice tracking headphones are always great to have though for recording. As far as which monitors to get, here's a bump for your troubles, because I was about to post the same thread.

I played a gig with a Carvin Legacy 412 cab once. It sounded really tight and had lots of bottom end. I guess that's of no help to you. Bump.

No, it isn't smaller than 1. Several proofs have been posted already. See also 0.9 Recurring, in Wikipedia. The misconception usually seems to stem from the idea that the decimal system has only one representation for a number. There's no question that 1.0 is the *preferred* representation, but 0.9 recurring is the same number with a different representation. Another way to look at it: there is no "infinitely small" real number that you could add to 0.9 recurring to get one. If you have any small number greater than zero, then there is a smaller number between that small number and zero as well. The real numbers are continuous. This is also known as the intermediate value theorem. Well goddamn.

This does not occur over time. There is no "approaching" here. If we were talking of a series such as .9, .99, .999, .99999999999999999999, .99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999, you would be correct, but .999... represents those 9s extending into infinity, in the present, right now, forever. Thus equaling 1, by your own admission. .999_ is less than 1 by an infinitely small difference, but a difference nonetheless.

If you are micing your amp, one thing that often thins out a sound is cranking the amp up too loud. There's a point of no return. Just turn it up loud enough to get your tone, and no louder. And do what Alphajerk says - move the mic around until you get a balance of highs and lows. As I said before, I like to have a second mic, a room mic, which really opens up the sound and makes it super large. True that man, when an amp is too loud sometimes its like the tone gets transparent and harsh, like theyres holes in it leaving jagged edges.

Would you recommend the sm57 especially? Yes, I would. Listen to this file, this is all my line 6 amp, so imagine what it could do for your marshall.
