i am just running everything to a onkyo stereo reciever...with 2 alesis studio monitors.  when i play in just headphones (sony v700) sounds tend to seperate a little, but individual volumes need adjusted to sound good.  ie bass booms in the headphones, drowning some of my highs.  rainbow jimmy made a suggestion to cut down the sustain on some of my sounds, which definatly may be a problem, and i am also running a good bit of reverb... i am working on a progressive house/trance song.  i am trying to create a ton of atmosphere with a ton of percussion.  it is almost as if it is the reverb or "the sustaining" of a sound that is giving me the atmosphere i want, but it is also drowning everything.  this is a pain in the ass...i usualy stick to more minimal styles of music, but i guess it is good to learn everything.

  what are you then pushing all this signal through(amplification)?  Have you tried just listening through headphones?  same problem or no?
