wetting them..hmm..ill try that. I even did the 'pull your ear up and out' and it goes in further, but not up to the third phlange

Hey, as long as it blocks out enough noise -- especially the peaks -- it's fine. I can do the second or third, and both work great.

the first two phlanges fit in nicely, the third, rests just outside my ear canal. they took a bit of getting used to but my ears feel so good right now! no ringing or anything!

how much do these earplugs affect your mixing?

Well, seeing as how they should reduce sounds evenly, and mostly take away the dangerous peaks in sound.... i would say they wouldn't.

But you will have isolating headphones on a good amount of time anyway, right?

BTW, i'm speaking theory, not experience as far as mixing goes

does it attenuate sound in party , reduce noise and clarifing music ???( like a raver not like a DJ )

It is a musician's earplug. It reduces all sounds evenly. Sounds are still clear, but everything is a bit quieter, and the loudest parts, the peaks of volume and such, aren't dangerous. You can still hear fine, the clarity is great, but the dangerous part of the sound is cut out.

everything sounds great. The only problem im having is talking. I dont know how loud to yell over the music for my friends w/ out earplugs
