headphone bullshit

[NuEra]

been a while since i have had a question to post on here. been wrapped up in the online vids. anyone here that hasn't registered yet and is thinking about it, definitely do it, very helpful stuff, great value for your $

asked jesse this question earlier in the week but curious to hear about other ppl have to say as well..

i am working on this track and it sounds great in my headphones but doesn't translate to my mains. it has such a nice deep bass that drives the groove and it really carries the song when i listen in headphones. But in my mains, the deep bass is gone and the song seems to loose its life. Part of the problem is I live in an apt with super thin walls (i know everyone's worst nightmare) so don't get much opportunity to turn up the volume. I am wondering if this could lead to not getting the full picture out of the mains. Typical composing time I spilt maybe 50/50 with out loud and headphones. I just checked and out loud when I work I am probably only listening around 76-77db most of the time.

I don't know what my exact question is here to be honest. Basically I just need help figuring out how to make the most out of my situation. How to I get the vibe that I am hearing in my headphones, out my mains. Save me from headphone mix hell...

fyi, i am working with sony mdr 7506s and mackie 628s.

Thanks

Have spoken to you just now via email about this but for everyone else's info I move around the room a lot to find spots when needed for more low end.

Depends on the room and speakers though.

I'm sure Sven can attest to this ;-)
