I've been living 'neighbor free' for about 4 years now and I must say it feels great!

I can bang the guitar as loud as I want in the studio with an open window even and no one will say anything nasty, moreover, over the street there are nice people coming in the balconies to listen while I rehearse stuff (not with the metronome though) tongue.gif

We all rehearse with earphones but at some point you just want some LOUD guitar, especially if you want to hear the characteristics of your tone at loud volumes smile.gif

How do you fare with the neighbor problem?

I don't play too loud at home, although I'm pretty sure the neighbors can hear me. They don't mind I guess.. smile.gif

On the rehearsals we go into studio, it's important for the dynamics. Practicing with headphones is convenient, but not always. I used to do it before and it was OK as far as being able to do rehearsals without paying for the studio, but cables get in the way, and there is little headroom and reverberation available in order to create the feel of a live sound.



+1.

If you continually play at high volumes you should use ear protection.

It's also possibly worth adding that with mixing and particularly mastering that you do not need to do them at high volumes. More often than not it's better to do both at quite low levels and, if you're unsure, check the results at a higher volume later.
