[BC] Headphone advice wanted

[Ira Wilner]

I agree that sounding natural, conversational, is important in radio since 
it is such a personal up close medium for the listener.  Thus, talking in a 
room normally without monitoring every syllable uttered is a better style. 
When I've instituted monitor dimming instead of muting so that headphones 
were unnecessary, staff hated it!  Even with obvious "on-air" illuminated 
signs they wanted total muting.  They refused to get used to dimming, too 
confusing.

I'm reminded of The Ole Jaybird.
