I think the main reason why something sounds cool in a room and like {censored}e in monitors and headphones are the sheer difference in volume level. It will sound different because of Fletcher-Munson curve. If you're hearing different than what you're expecting to hear you'll be dissappointed. Now the skill is to position the mic in a way it'll sound great when you're listening it to lower levels combined with all the rest of the instruments in a song. It's totally irrelevant what a certain sound sounds like soloed if it doesn't fit in the whole context of and arrangement of a song.

I'm lazy. That contributes to overall weakness. I also suck in recording bass and kick drum. (But I tend to blame the player and that particular kick drum...)

Where's the company that advertises proper windows option tweaking for music makers then? What I don't want to get involved is to find a mysterious problem, roam thru various discussion boards to get various answers, try every maniacs advice, get tangled more and more etc. I want just service, not more iron.
