i have some Auralex isolation pads under my monitors, they keep the bass vibration/resonance from going through my desk and walls pretty well at reasonable volume...but not completely by any means. you might also just get some acoustic foam to put up on the walls but that will not completely sound p...

you could always "out-dick" the people who bother you or touch the equipment, stop the music momentarily and in a not-so-nice way draw everyone's attention to them so they are so embarrassed they have to leave :)

I've got one, no complaints here. The sound quality is good for the price. Plus, you can use it to control Traktor if you're so inclined

I always operate on the assumption that its best to use insert reverb as more of a special effect on one or two particular sounds that don't really make up the "meat" of the tune. For consistency and creating a sense of depth in the mix, sends are usually better because you can make the ac...

panning is definitely important for drums, i mostly pan them like a kit, but i run 3-4 hats at a time so spreading them left and right works pretty well. i may also auto pan or automate them to make them bounce accross the stereo field, whatever works to make the mix more interesting. its all about...

to get more volume out of it, put a limiter on the master... the mixdown engine in Reason is definitely sketchy...one of its biggest drawbacks IMO...better to rewire into Cubase or another DAW and disable the Reason mixer altogether...then do your export (real-time) from the DAW...it will sound better
