excellent advice.
Add a set of Mackie 824 powered monitors and head for the checkout line.

But gettting a really good preamnp is another matter…..
You can spend $1K on a really good preamp.
And don’t forget; it’s the mic and preamp that determine the sound.

Almost sounds like a polarity cancellation issue. Are you listening to one track or several combined to mono?

Good mixing is a very complicated process. Maybe I should take a hint from you and write that book.
As for speakers, try a set of Mackie 824 powered speakers and set them up in a triangle with your mixing position. The distance between you head and each speaker should be slightly more than the distance between the monitors.
The monitors must be placed so nothing is between them and your ears and the tweeters are aimed right at your ears.
Use the cambridge to check your mixes, but make hard decisions with the Mackies and Sony MDR 7506 phones.

Sennheiser g series wireless will do the job in that price range.

Tough one. The op told you of the noise. That was their responsibility. That you didn’t act on it puts it on you, unfortunately.
It wasn’t his/her rig. I get antsy when someone wants me to use THEIR sound gear for this very reason. I also know my gear is better than the average kit.
The noise could be due to many different things, interference, a blackberry on the set, a nearby DTV station, Nextel walkie talkie phones, nose snorts from the person speaking.
It’s about communication. At the end of each take, you either ask the sound person or they know to tell you whether orr not the take was good.
An added option is to get a split from the camera headphone jack so you can hear what’s going into the camera. It won’t tell you if the sound acctually went to tape with most camcorders, but it’s as good as you get.

Hey Will,
There are instructions. iWeb is pretty easy, but has some restrictions as a result. I have a Ti Book and a G5. At present, if you start a page or site on one computer, you have to continue making changes from THAT computer. You can’t completely remove a site, you have to replace it with one (not such a big deal).
You can log on to your .mac account and remove files as it sees them on your iDisk, but each page generates 4-6 files and you need to be careful you don’t trash a file you need.
Putting the site together was fairly easy. The main page is simply a picture I shot of my keyboard and a bunch of links to my existing site and pages.
Movies 1, 2 and 3 I made with iWeb, adding the audio and video files was easy; drag and drop. The audio files seemed to need pictures above each play/stop bar, but the “picture here” signs disappear when you publish the page.
Pretty cool.

Impedance has a lot to do with it, so does sensitivity.
Rane used to publish a list of headphones with specs. They still may.
I remember the AKG 240 being the least sensitive and the Sony MDR 7506 best the most sensitive.

Neither fish or fowl. IMO, a very dangerous idea.
