Mixing headphone levels

Hi, after doing a bit of googling it occurs to me that the internal speaker is ONLY for the metronome / click & not for the drum sounds themselves. You will need headphones or some external audio gear like your hi-fi system or oth r amp & speaker. I found this "The pad has 54 sounds in it (covering all parts of the drum kit but mostly snares), which are triggered when you hit the mesh head, but these can only be heard over headphones. The built in speaker is only used by the metronome sound (when there are no headphones attached) and then it only has a beep sound attached to it. However, plug in headphones and you get a variety of available click sounds including a proper ticking clockwork metronome." Hope that helps a little? Good Luck :-)

Check you cue level ... it must be at 10oclock position

They make headphone amps that will take a line level and boost it in volume until it can drive headphones. I'd get one of those, and plug it into any available "line out" or "rec out" on the back of your Fostex. Sounds like the D/A converter section that feeds the headphone output has gone bad, and my solution will get you around that.

With the headphones plugged in, and the headphone level turned up you should be able to hear whatever is coming through the main mix. If you cannot hear anything, make sure the buttons marked 'TAPE TO CTRL/ HP' and ' TAPE TO MIX' are not pushed down.

Check that the noise is NOT a funtion of an "effect" that the MAIN runs through. Do you hear it via the main amps or is it just in the headphones from the main? Pressing a PFL for a channel should bring ONLY that channel into the headphones UNLESS other PFL's are down... and NOT affect the main. Something is not clear here.

you want no inputs headphones on the outputs and 4.1 on the last one and then select the hercules 4mx from the dropdown and apply and close

Select desired tracks with the PFL buttons. This solos those tracks to the headphones.

If you don't have the manual it is here:http://www.behringer.de/EN/downloads/pdf/DJX700_P0165_M_EN.pdf Have a look at page 4 under Monitor, mode switch and mix control. You might be having problems with them.

The keyboard has a mic jack that is the same size as the headphones. You probably put the headphone plug into the wrong jack is all.

This may sound really stupid on my part, but if the auxillary out requires phantom power did the phantom power switch get changed possibly?
