Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

"LOL" Thanks Moose & Vern,

Just as I suspected. I would have thought that being able to keep an 
AUX IN source such as a CD from being sent out the DTXpress's main 
L/R outputs would have been a given in the design of this unit.

I originally found this the hard way while trying to record into my 
computer & the drum tracks contained the other instruments due to 
how I had it all routed. (had headphones in DTX, the computer DAW's 
monitors in AUX IN to the DTXpress)

I DO already have a small mixer that I use to work around that 
problem if I want to monitor a source and not have it sent out the 
L/R of the drum kit.

For ease while recording, mostly I monitor the DTXpress through the 
monitor out of my DAW as a mix using the ASIO mixer in my sound 
card's control panel to get the right volume blend during tracking.

I just wanted to check with you guy's to see if I was missing 
something.

Thanks a bunch, Steve
