when i'm creating a sound, i put on the NF monitors... then switch to a small pair of AIWA plastic pc speakers to create the sequencing etc - linear work... occaisionally i go to the NF's... and INSTANTLY, i can hear something needing adjustment... soon as it's done, switch back...
using the small plastic speakers, forces me to compose at a low volume so when i want detail, it is instant impressions... always the best, cos 'lingering' over details in a mix can be missleading, you start to create things in your mind... all our ears are capable of filtering out frequencies to 'tune-in' to a sound in a mix... (more pronounced on certain drugs)... so listening too long, you start to 'create' unrelated in our mind... sometimes... not a generalisation.. but it's worth a shot..

PS if you can get your hands on both a Behringer or Ghost and a Mackie board as well, both have unique sounds and lend themselves to different styles. European and American boards sound different from each other, particularly in the EQ sections but also in the pream sections to a degree. GO to a higher end music store and try them out side by side if you can. You'll hear the difference immediately.
